Kelvin Wee
Camarilla Negotiator
Background
When Hong Kong reverted to Chinese control and the Kuei-jin hunted Asian Kindred, Kelvin Wee fled to America in the hold of a cargo ship. He resided in Seattle until his Prince informed him of the situation unfolding in San Francisco and strongly urged him to render service. When Wee first arrived, he tried offering his services to then-Prince Van Nuys.
Unfortunately, Van Nuys’ “negotiations” were nothing short of the slow and methodical capitulation of San Francisco to the Kuei-jin who bluffed their way into power. After Sara Winder assumed the Princedom, Wee took an immediate liking to her and she to him. Neither had any intention of handing San Francisco to a bunch of pompous outlanders.
Since that time, Wee operates secretly on Winder’s behalf with the Mandarinate as well as acting as the Camarilla’s negotiator with the Kuei-jin (though he knows nothing of the Cloud Mandarins’ threats, which they voiced only through Van Nuys). When Winder fails to make any headway thanks to Van Nuys, she relies on Wee as an alternative route.
Wee, in turn, presents her ideas as his own to avoid any stigmas associated with her name.
Character Description
Kelvin is an amazingly large Chinese man. He stands just over six feet tall and, while he’s not fat, he is without a doubt a man of substance. He dresses in tailored suits and fine apparel, understanding how the Kuei-jin place great emphasis on physical appearance and public face. Roleplaying Notes: You are either a con artist posing as a negotiator or a negotiator posing as a con artist. Either way, you make deals that always work best in your favor and the Camarilla’ s. At the moment you try to help pull the city back from the brink of Kuei-jin control, one gracious smile at a time. Your fluency in Chinese and knowledge of Chinese business customs helps you CHAPTER FIVE: HONORED SHEN 105 immensely in this endeavor. They assigned you to the Pacific Heights M-T sector, so you’re clearly doing something right. On the other hand, the social repercussions and allegations of collusion with the Kueijin are a pain in the ass that you’ d just as soon avoid. If that’s the worst your existence throws at you, however, you’re in good shape.
