After Grayson's death, Mercedes fled to Prospect where she has existed off the radar ever since. She ghouled a local waiter who guards her sleep by day. Having received such a lasting impression of the Tremere based on her uncle's sickness, she has not tried to join the Camarilla. Using her looks and her blood, she has lived off her wits ever since the embrace, beneath the notice of the tower and others who might do her harm. She is eager to be reunited with her twin but afraid of the attention it will bring from clan Tremere.
