Molotov

Gangrel · Gen 11

You’re the sort of lick beleaguered Anarchs turn to when they can’t shake a Prince or Bishop off their asses: You come into town and stir up shit until the locals can’t stand their superiors’ security failures any longer. The Anarchs you work for disavow any knowledge of your activities, calling you a “foreign agitator,” but when the local big shot finally eases off of them or sits down at the secret bargaining table, your attacks coincidentally die down. In short, you’re the designated bad guy, and brinksmanship is the essence of your art. You specialize in guerrilla actions dramatic and disruptive enough to force action, but not quite damaging enough to merit a declaration of war. If you go too far, you know your employers will gladly leave you out to dry —that’s part of why they pay you — so you have to be ready to cut and run whenever things get too hot. Your existence is necessarily peripatetic and lonesome, but you do maintain some largely online acquaintanceships with people you’ve collaborated with in the past who turned out to be simpatico. You also take active part in Anarch Internet policy-wonk culture, though your contributions are made under a separate, cleaner-nosed pseudonym. You’ve certainly visited many different Anarch and sect domains, learned a lot about how they actually work behind all the fluffy rhetoric — and you happily spill the beans about it, though usually with identifying details removed. You maintain ties with several Sabbat and Camarilla Nosferatu, trading information and favors. After all, in your line of work, a clear picture of how the enemy will respond to your provocations is vital.

Roleplaying

Although voluble on the Internet, in person you’re soft-spoken and slightly taciturn. Maintain calm and control at all times (you’re very worried about acquiring a permanent animal feature that destroys your ability to camouflage). With mortals, you’re almost eerily gentle and patient, overcompensating like crazy. In your younger nights you dreamed of overthrowing the Camarilla in one grand revolution, but now you realize most Anarchs are doing well just to hold on to what they’ve got. So you help them in that eternal struggle, bite your tongue, and slowly build your networks. You save your pan-Anarch ambitions and scathing critiques for your “Don Armando” online persona.
