<div align="center">Vampire: the Masquerade<br/>Milwaukee by Night</div><br/>The Court of Milwaukee ::<br/><br/><strong>Maximillian Kaiser</strong>, Prince of Milwaukee<br/>With a name like "Max Kaiser," this fellow's position as Prince of Milwaukee could be said to have been prophesied.  German by blood and Ventrue by Vitae, Kaiser came to America cramped on an immigrant ship in 1845, and followed his Germanic kin to the little city which had only just recently formed from the remnants of three smaller towns.  It was riding the growth of the city that brought Max Kaiser to prominence and power.  He is a cordial, genial, and friendly man, wide-bellied and possessed of a rather full beard.  Under Kaiser's control, Milwaukee has been a somewhat tumultuous place; he's been known to be somewhat lackadaisical in his control of the city, which is why, for example, Milwaukee supports a larger kindred population than a city its size can safely support.  Though he uses the title "Prince", many of Milwaukee's Kindred refer to him as "the Kaiser."<br/><br/><strong>Adam Czerwinski</strong>, Sheriff<br/>As Max Kaiser's right-hand man, Adam serves as something of a centering weight to Max's aloofness.  Adam is serious, centered, and has aspirations for Milwaukee that he often feels free to pursue, free from the Kaiser's command.  He is known for being more severe than the Prince that he serves; more than once has an execution demanded by Adam been stayed by Maximillian.  Though this might suggest some sort of tension between the two, by all appearances, Max and Adam are fast friends.<br/><br/>The Primogeniture<br/><em>In Milwaukee, the Primogens are selected to their positions by Maximillian Kaiser and serve as advisers to him.  Not every Clan enjoys a Primogen; neither the Ventrue or Brujah have representatives beyond the Prince and his Sheriff, and Maximillian "doesn't trust Malkavians."</em><br/><br/><strong>Amadeus Lehner</strong>, Tremere Primogen<br/>Like many of Milwaukee's eldest representatives, Amadeus Lehner is an immigrant from Europe; he hails from Austria, which he will proudly inform damn near everyone.  He is incredibly bookish, and he maintains the small Chantry beneath the stately Central Library.  Amadeus leads his Tremere in a sort of reclusive manner; they don't partake overmuch in city politics to any overwhelming degree, and it's generally understood to be because Amadeus keeps them very busy with more arcane concerns than politicking.<br/><br/><strong>Aria Pokawon</strong>, Gangrel Primogen<br/>A true Milwaukeean native, Aria Pokawon predates the city itself.  When pressed, she'll admit that she was Embraced by a French trader in the eighteenth century.  Aria Pokawon has made it a personal goal to be involved in the concerns of the Native American population of Milwaukee -- particularly the Potawatomi.  Her intentions are sometimes questioned; she's not incredibly forthcoming.  Some Milwaukeean Kindred whisper that she maintains some association with Lupines outside of the city, but there has been little to verify that claim.<br/><br/><strong>Ecks</strong>, Nosferatu Primogen<br/>Ecks runs the city's network of Sewer Rats and keeps a close eye and tight leash on most of their associates as well.  He's known for his regular appearance at the city's Elysium -- he seems to enjoy existing as a public figure, if only because his appearance, covered in pustules that seem to ooze rotten blood as he is, causes so many such displeasure.  He fancies himself and his Childer in the city as protectors of the Kindred and the Masquerade; little is known of him prior to the end of his life.<br/><br/><strong>Devora Bet Eretzi</strong>, Toreador Primogen<br/>Devora is the city's premiere Toreador activist, and she enjoys the position; she is recognizably active in the city's politics to a degree that the other Primogens are not (at least, if they are, they're not as apparent about it as she is.)  Prior to the 1940s, Devora was Deborah Rosenblum; she's had many names before, as well.  In Elysium, Devora is often seen in the company of the city's two Harpies -- both members of her Clan, and one of them her own Childer.  She is a painter by trade, though she is conversant in ancient and contemporary styles of many, many art forms.<br/><br/><em>Other Important Corpses</em><br/><strong>Aaron Zuckert</strong>, the Messenger<br/>In Milwaukee, the Elysium is a travelling affair; it meets bi-weekly, and while there are some places that enjoy regular performances (the Milwaukee Repertoire Theater, for example, sees Elysium hosted at least once or twice every season, while the Mitchell Park Domes have hosted Elysium in the Fall at least once a year since they were erected); Aaron Zuckert is the Kindred charged with ensuring that everyone in the city knows when and where Elysium will meet, and generally delivers any other official information related to the event.  Under Ecks' guidance, Aaron Zuckert (who goes by 'AZ' around the city's primogen) has taken well enough to being a very visible member of the Clan of monsters, but he is otherwise friendly and personable -- which is ideal, because more than any other Kindred in the city, Aaron deals with every Camarilla vampire in the city.<br/><br/><strong>Epiphany Smith</strong>, the Senior Harpy<br/>Toreador through and through, Epiphany lives a posh sort of lifestyle that often puts others in the Milwaukeean Camarilla at ill-ease -- it's a working city, and Epiphany has the attitude of someone who's never worked a day in her life.  Most Kindred in the city are acutely aware of her; she is always a presence at the local Elysium, and she's been known to make full use of her power as the court's Harpy, raising the slightest indiscretions into city-wide news (and on occasion, more than that.)  Epiphany knows that the Milwaukee Court is looked down upon by most of the rest of the nation, and the Madison and Chicago courts in particular, and while she's invested in clearing that image, she's been known to turn that stigma against Milwaukeean Kindred who run amuck.<br/><br/><em>As Yet Undetailed Others</em><br/><strong>Eleanor</strong>, the Junior Harpy
