Cheree/Monterrey

OOC: This is a repository for data about the Sabbat hierarchy in Monterrey. Feel free to reference these NPCs in your own doings, but if you use them in any significant way (like, say, being their childe or killing one of them in a PRP), please give Cheree's player a heads-up as a courtesy.

General Info

Monterrey is, according to six-year-old Google results, Mexico's wealthiest city per capita, and also its most "Americanized." The Archbishop of the city (and indeed, all of Nuevo Leon) is El Intocable, a Tzimisce who is, to use the technical jargon, a giant asshole. However, he's a competent, canny, and even inspiring asshole, and Mexico City regards him as integral to keeping stability in the region, as he has successfully warded off lupine intrusion into his territory for around twenty years now (twenty years ago being when he rose to power, via Monomancy).

Because of the "Americanized" aspects of Monterrey, and its "safe" status as far as lupine attacks, Mexico City will sometimes send delegations there to meet with American Sabbat packs on "neutral ground" when such a thing is necessary.

El Intocable is a demanding and easily angered Archbishop. He hates Anarchs with a passion, and those who do not show proper deference to him (i.e. reporting in at local esbat and then moving the fuck along once their business is through) will often find themselves targeted by his wrath. Because of his brutish, bullying demeanor, Monterrey has a smaller-than-average permanent population of Cainites, but that population is above-average in terms of competence. You either sink or swim in Monterrey. There's no third option. For every Cainite who's made their name there, there are five who tried their hand at it and either died or fled.

After packs from Baja California assisted El Intocable in dealing with the problem of a Harbinger of Skulls that had degraded into a wight, El Intocable has pledged himself as an ally to Selena, and to Selena's subordinate Bishops (e.g. Carys, Spotted-Horse, etc.).

Packs and Personalities

La Familia de Monterrey

The ruling pack of Monterrey; lucha libre professional wrestlers who run the city like gangsters. Currently comprised solely of the Archbishop and his two large childer. El Intocable is based out of Arena Coliseo Monterrey, a real-life lucha libre arena. The three of them appear to wear hooded lucha libre masks at all times, but closer inspection will reveal that they've actually fleshcrafted their faces into these guises.

	Name	Clan	Title	Notes
	El Intocable	Tzimisce	Ductus; El Arzobispo de Monterrey y Estado Libre y Soberano de Nuevo León	Hulkingly strong, cannonball-belly obese, frighteningly charismatic; please consult Cheree about using this NPC
	El Efectivo	Tzimisce	Priest	Inscrutable and quiet
	El Ingobernable	Tzimisce	Templar	Hot-headed and bellicose

Los Patrónes

A pack with deep influence upon the international businesses that operate in Monterrey. In a sex comedy about ski instructors, they would be the snobby rich kids who challenge the scrappy losers to a ski race, and if they win, they get to turn the ski school into luxury condos. They take pride in their high-society ways and social standing, and mesh poorly with riff-raff.

	Name	Clan	Title	Notes
	Rafa Medina	Ventrue antitribu	Ductus	A charming, smooth-talking, execeptional political player; has risen to his station despite being already on two strikes with El Intocable from the word go, for 1. not being a Tzimisce or Lasombra and 2. being Panamanian
	María Santamaría	Lasombra	Priest	Chilly and precise
	William Muñoz	Toreador antitribu	Templar	Affable and easy-going, until it's time for him to kill you
	José Luis Soria	Brujah antitribu		Gambling addict, but competent enough for people to overlook it most of the time
	Efren Tiburcio	Lasombra		Paranoid and cautious
	Ernestina Salazar	Zantosa	Revenant	Submissive and compliant; Rafa won her from El Intocable in a card game, and Intocable is still pissed about it

Los Vipers

A pack that survived from the previous Archbishop's era into the current one. Its Ductus, Keyra, was until recently the pack's Templar, but rose to Ductus when the previous Ductus was killed trying to take out the Harbinger-wight. The rest of the pack are a motley but effective assemblage of warriors who are often the first call made when it comes time to go off and marshal the troops in some other part of Nuevo Leon to stop any lupine trouble.

	Name	Clan	Title	Notes
125px	Keyra (full name unknown)	Tzimisce	Ductus	Was an aerobics instructor when she was embraced in 1985; remains an aerobics instructor in 1985. Positive, upbeat, go-team!, helpful
	Luis Aguilar	Tzimisce	Priest	Wiseass with a big mouth
	Fabiola "Faby" Balbuena	Lasombra		Depressed and morbid
	Genaro Vásquez	Nosferatu antitribu		Longest-lived Sabbat of any note in Monterrey, believed to be around 250 years old; wise and teacherly; keeper of the secrets that died with others, and that's most of why he's survived so long
	Isabel Ordóñez	Ravnos antitribu		Seems to have no interests or hobbies beyond collecting lupine heads; has collected quite a lot of lupine heads
