Quote: "Yeah, I can put you on the throne, but it's gonna cost you in the long run…No I said sell at 140 and trade the technology stocks, if he puts up a fight, blackmail him with the proof that he killed his own Primogen…. Sorry, now where were we? Right, you want to be the Prince!"

Prelude: Ever since you were little you were "making deals". In grade school you would manage to trade up a single Twinkie into a full home made lunch. In high school you were running the test answers to those needy students who could afford to pay or trade for other valuable commodities. It was a skill that not only landed you in top rate collage, but also provided you with a job at one of the top stock brokerage firms on Wall Street.

You very quickly learned the ins and outs of the financial world. How it worked on paper and how it worked in reality. Within a year you were providing your "special" clients with a 300% turnaround on all of their investments (minus a modest 10% handlers fee), arranging for your own promotion to Vice President, and redirecting millions of dollars

subtlety through dozens of foreign accounts.

You quickly found no less then 2 dozen "accounts" which

looked suspicious. You flagged them and arranged to meet with the

individuals who held them, expecting nobody to turn up.

You were surprised late one night when a beautiful dark

haired woman showed up claiming to be the account holder for all

2 dozen accounts. Explaining that you were fully aware of her

laundering funds through these accounts, an offer was extended in

which you would show her how to hide these better, arrange

to have her profits increase gradually, and all for 5% of her

earnings and dinner.

She seemed to be impressed. She took you up on

your offer and made one of her own, namely that of being

her childe.

Concept: You play it fast and loose. You don't have time

for whiners or sob stories. Your time is money and every

minute you listen to blubbering and crying is money out

of your pocket. You're more then happy to make special

"arrangements" for those who need your help securing those

hard to get items, but it had best be worth your wild.

Role Playing Tips: You're the best at what you do and

so much above the common trappings of Kindred. You

are out for you and you alone. Make deals only when

you need to and only when they are profitable.

Equipment: Laptop computer, .45 revolver, digital phone

Expensive car and liquid cash, several slush funds,

Hired thugs.
