October "Halloween" Matthers ended up the Baron, not because she wanted the job, but because folks liked her. It was never a title she called herself, but it was something others called her. That is how a real Baron tends to happen.
A local, Halloween was a young punk enjoying club life in the early 80's when she was embraced during a shovel heading party. She stayed buried, however, as she simply took a bit longer to 'come back'. The coven in question dug her hope, figuring they could reclaim the vitae if the embrace didn't work. It was then that she awakened in frenzy. She killed her Sire and badly injured another before someone fired a flare at her, and the hunger turned to fear. She managed to escape...and one hell of an unlife began.
She fell in with one of the more active and idealistic gangs at the time, the Suicide Kings. Eventually she ended up Baron, running shit from a popular club in town called 'My House'. From there she planned and helped inspire for a number of raids against Sabbat strongholds across the Southwest. In addition, she helped plan and lead attacks that put down some of the more anti-Anarch and aggressive members of the Ivory Tower in the region.
And then, in 2003, the Sabbat attacked her club and murdered her and two dozen mortals. Several members of her gang died, while others fled. They are still active in the Southwest.
Upon being freed from her Caul, she was dragged off by a slaver hoping to sell her to the Hierarchy. Filled with rage, she devastated the bastard and escaped. He ended up in a Harrowing he didn't escape from. Eventually she ended up in LA, where she fell in with the Haunters. They redirected her old cause towards her new one, and over the years she climbed the ranks to become a dangerous member of the Guild. The continued to bother Sabbat and incredibly aggressive members of the Camarilla, but she focused a lot of her rage towards the Hierarchy, now. They represented everything she hated about the Cam as a Lick.
Now she is back in Prospect, looking to reclaim something of her old self in this hellhole.
