The numbers vary as new Shadowhunters are assigned there or deployed elsewhere in the world, and, of course, the sad reality of casualties. Enforcing the Accords and the authority of the Clave is a tough job, and demons cut the Shadowhunters no slack. Warded against mundane scrutiny, the Vancouver Institute is located close to the Port of Vancouver. It is a place of particular interest to the Shadowhunters of Vancouver, as rogue Warlocks have a penchant for importing forbidden items and materials through the very busy port. It is also very common for cargo ships to have demonic stowaways.<br/><br/><strong>Important NPCS:</strong><br/><br/><table class="bbc_table"><tbody><tr><td><div align="center">(https://i.imgur.com/QK49Oko.jpg)</div><hr/><br/><strong>Francis Whitespear</strong> is the head of the Vancouver Institute. A Shadowhunter of modest combat prowess, Francis excels in administrative tasks and the Institute of Vancouver is a model to the rest of the Clave in the efficiency of its operations and the robustness of its filing systems. Francis has taken initiatives to organize and digitalize all of the Institute's records and knowledge, and he can have virtually any record or tome called up in minutes. This allows the Vancouver Shadowhunters to bring the knowledge of their forebears to bear on any problem with unparalleled speed and accuracy. <br/><br/>One glaring flaw, however, that mars Francis's leadership is the deterioration of relations between the Shadowhunters and Warlocks of Vancouver. This goes back to when Francis was a young man, and he and the High Warlock of Vancouver, Elias Castle, fell in love with the same person. The love triangle ended in broken hearts and the death of the common love interest. The wounds were left to fester and never healed, and it is reflected in the cold, distant, and subtly hostile interactions between Shadowhunters and Warlocks at large in Vancouver. <br/></td><td>    </td><td>    </td><td>    </td><td><div align="center">(https://i.imgur.com/s24KeQd.jpg)</div><hr/><br/><strong>Elias Castle</strong> is the High Warlock of Vancouver. He has served in this position since city's incorporation. A bitter and curmudgeonly fellow, Elias has a special personal vendetta against the Shadowhunters because of his enmity with Francis Whitespear. Elias discourages the Warlocks of Vancouver of being too helpful of the Shadowhunters, and he has in the past been accused of obstructing Shadowhunter investigations into 'rogue' Warlocks smuggling contraband into the city through the port. These accusations were dropped due to lack of solid evidence. Elias is considerably less decadent and hedonistic than many Warlocks, leading a comparably aescetic life - although he has a large penthouse apartment for conducting the business of the High Warlock, he lives in a modest apartment with spartan furnishing and is well-known to eat porridge or oatmeal for most meals.</td><td>    </td><td>    </td><td>    </td><td><div align="center">(https://i.imgur.com/N53pCqx.jpg)</div><hr/><br/><strong>Reginald Theodore Quintrell</strong> is the head of one of the Vampire clans of DARKEST Vancouver. A relatively young Vampire at a mere 122 years of age, Reginald is a boisterous fellow who is not shy about speaking his mind. Originally born in England, he was Turned in the trenches during the Great War and the experience left an indelible mark upon him. His natural inclination is to work within authoritarian systems which has made him an easy partner to work with for the Shadowhunters. Some Vampires in his Clan feel he is not putting Vampiric interests first with how quickly he acquiesces to the Law, but others do point out how quick Reginald is to demand the Shadowhunters fulfill their obligations. <br/><br/>Although Reginald does turn his nose up at Werewolves, it is something of an act he affects because he feels it is expected of him. Rather than any outright hatred for Werewolves, Reginald simply considers the whole lot ruffians that are beneath him and his kind. Reginald's ideal solution is to ensure that the Werewolves know to stay out of his Clan's territory and otherwise 'let dog eat dog.' However, Reginald will not shy away from rolling up his sleeves and engaging in fisticuffs if need be - he will smack a snout right quickly, sirrah!</td><td>    </td><td>    </td><td>    </td><td><div align="center">(https://i.imgur.com/bigxmAd.jpg)</div><hr/><br/><strong>Nelson 'Dark Claw' Wilson</strong> is the Alpha of a small pack of Werewolves who live South of the Port of Vancouver. He introduces himself as 'Dark Claw' in a bid to sound cool and dangerous because he does not think Nelson sounds very tough. Nelson's pack split off from a much larger Werewolf pack shortly before a leadership change. This small pack is filled with more laid back Werewolves who are regarded as jokes among their own kind for their preferences to engage in water-related hobbies and barbecuing than doing 'real' Werewolf stuff. <br/><br/>Nelson is a leader of his kind that is not really well known by the movers and shakers of DARKEST Vancouver, and he kind of likes it that way. It means more time boating and fishing for him. Warlock antics at the port often mean trouble for him and his pack, however, and Nelson is obliged to skip out on whale-watching more than he would like to participate in Shadowhunter investigations when his pack is invariably accused of wrong-doings.</td></tr></tbody></table>
