These are the stat-less NPCs.  Most of these folks will never appear in the flesh, so to speak.  This is one reason they have no stats.  If they do happen to appear, I suggest all PCs run as fast as they can in the other direction.  :)<br/><br/><strong>Ambrosius</strong><br/>Prince, 7th generation Nosferatu<br/><br/>In terms of the undead, Ambrosius is both quite old and remarkably young.  He claims to have been born in the 15th century, Embraced as a Plague victim.  The truth of the matter is debatable.  Outside of his clan his appearance is effectively unknown since he mastered the art of Obfuscation centuries ago.  Even among his clanmates, Ambrosius is a fairly unknown quantity.  He prefers to rule from the shadows and avoids public appearances, at least as himself.  There are rumors that he shows up in Elysium in the guise of neonates and others, but given his powers, these are virtually impossible to prove.  As a co-founder of the city, his network of influence is wide and deep.  He has ruled the Kindred Camarilla populace in a largely hands off approach.<br/><br/><strong>Claudius</strong><br/>Archbishop, 8th generation Nosferatu-antitribu<br/><br/>While Claudius makes no claims to Ambrosius’ age, he is an elder in his own right.  According to Sabbat rumor, he was a Dutch immigrant to New Holland in the early 17th century.  By the end of the century, he’d grown fed up with the constant war rhetoric of the Sabbat, while believing in their ideals.  So, he helped found Sanctuary.  Unlike his partner, Claudius has only enough concealment to hide his nature from mortals.  Several Kindred and those who see him privately can see the hideously twisted figure his minimal talent hides.  However, like the Prince, Claudius rarely appears in public.  He prefers to deal with others through his templars and bishops, figuring that they need to earn their authority and positions.<br/><br/><strong>Karen Ortiz</strong><br/>Mayor, Mortal<br/><br/>Mayor Ortiz is a middle-aged, liberal, third party candidate to office.  Holding an M.A. in Sociology, specializing in political foci, from Penn State University, she ran for office for the first time in 2001, following that win, with a second successful run during the next election.  During her time in office, Mrs. Ortiz has done everything she can on the city council to aid education and the city park system.  She has also worked closely with several local businesses.  However, the police force has suffered somewhat, as have a few minor city programs.  Overall, she has proven to be a competent and charismatic negotiator, combining many members of the council into a voting bloc behind her programs and office.<br/><br/><strong>Eliza Pearsh</strong><br/>Pentex Director, Mortal<br/><br/>As with most of Pentex’s employees, Ms. Pearsh is a highly driven woman who has forgone family and friends in pursuit of company business.  Records note that this 32 year old executive was hired right out of college as a low level executive in 1995.  She rose swiftly through the ranks as her mentors were relegated to demotions, some say due to her snitching on them.  Throughout her career to date, Director Pearsh has been ruthless and subtly cautious, she hits her enemies leaving little evidence of her involvement.  This personality led to the Board level decision to put her in charge of operations in Sanctuary.  Those in the know believe that she might be in the grooming process for greater things, perhaps even the gifts of a Higher, or Lower, Power.<br/><br/><strong>Paul Lederer</strong><br/>Shinzui Director, Drone<br/><br/>A completely average man, no one is quite certain how Mr. Lederer landed the job of director of Shinzui’s Sanctuary office.  His background is a matter of public record, though.  He was born a German-American in Hong Kong in the 1970s, the child of a diplomat.  After school at Oxford in 1993, he returned home to a mid-level position at Shinzui.  His record at school was exemplary, though dry reading.  As was his work record - common routine, no sick days, usually worked overtime, no innovations.  He was promoted time and time again, slowly and steadily.  In 2002, Paul accepted the Weaver’s gift and became a drone, bit by bit.  Last year, the ultimate director of the company decided it needed someone in Sanctuary and decided upon this particular drone due to years of perfect service.<br/><br/><strong>Victoria Strassen</strong><br/>DNA Director, Mortal<br/><br/>At first glance, Victoria looks much too young to hold her position within the DNA hierarchy.  Her record indicates a very strong talent in neurochemistry, holding a Master’s degree in the subject, and a poli-sci second undergrad major.  Ms. Strassen took the fledgling branch office in 2001, at the age of 25.  According to highly classified DNA files, her family was wiped out by a group of GLS infected individuals in advanced stages of the disease.  She was 13 then and test scores indicated a strong interest in sciences.  DNA quietly saw to her tuition, room and board through the completion of her M.S. and hired her right out of grad school.  Her talents landed the directorship only a year later, due to the nature of the facility.
