Coterie

Christof Romuald

The main character of the game, Christof is a French knight who was recovered in a monastery in Prague, where he falls in love with the lovely, pure nun Anezka. After getting turned into a vampire, he fights for his newfound clan, but eventually finds out that Anezka has been kidnapped by the Cainites. Along with his friends, he starts his journey across the land (and time) to save Anezka and eventually stops the various evil vampires in the way.

  • The Ace: He can learn a lot of Vampire Disciplines.
  • Anachronism Stew: Though the manual says he's unusual in respecting Jews, this isn't merely unusual for the Crusades, it's significant to the point that Christof wouldn't have been hailed as a hero, but considered morally compromised in the Church's eyes. Later in the story, Christof wakes up after centuries' sleep apparently knowing how to accurately fire and reload weapons 800 years ahead of his time.
  • Bad Powers, Good People: He can drain a person of all his blood, animate the dead and make enemies' blood boil, but he's a good guy.
  • Chick Magnet: Many Cainite ladies aren't above flirting with him, expecially Serena and Lily.
  • The Chosen One: May be a coincidence, but a wall paint shows that Christof was the prophesied wielder of the Aikurn Sword.
  • Cool Sword: Starts with one and can obtain the legendary Aikurn Sword, but can equip any weapon he wishes.
  • Determinator: Endures centuries of blood torpor, but comes out sane because of Anezka.
  • The Dreaded: For the Premysl clan. See below.
  • Good Is Dumb: While he has some very brilliant moments, generally, Christof can come off as a very hilariously air-headed person. This is especially true during the Dark Ages part, where Christof pretty much ignores everything Anezka says to him after the raid on Prague streets.
  • The Hero
  • Kick the Dog: Some choices are quite nasty, such as using the Diablerie on Lucretia and absorbing her powers.
  • The Messiah: May be one...
  • Red Baron: "Champion of Prague", and later "Killer of Ahzra", "Bane of the Premysl House".
  • Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Don't stay between him and Anezka, or betray him. Just ask Orsi...
  • Single-Target Sexuality: He loves only Anezka.
  • Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe: Even after his resurrection, he still speaks like this.

Wilhem Streicher

A Brujah ancilla and friend of Christof, he helps him during his first steps in the Kindred world. They soon become a fearsome duo and fight together many times. After the timeskip, he meets Christof again in New York and joins the coterie in their last battle against the forces of Vukodlak.

  • Almighty Janitor: Sort of: he's just a neonate Vampire, but has the potential for becoming really powerful.
  • The Archer: Wields a bow the first time you meet him.
  • Blade on a Stick: He also has a halbeard as starting weapon.
  • Face Heel Turn: Offscreen, he and Ecaterina joined the evil Sabbat, but he promptly dumps them when he meets Christof.
  • The Lancer: At first he's there to keep an eye on Christof, but later develops into this.
  • Mr. Exposition: He explains a lot of things to Chris.
  • Only Sane Man

Serena

A Cappadocian Kindred and Garinol's right hand. She's sent to help the Coterie by Garinol, and she develops a crush on Christof. She's a powerful caster and can use many spells.

Erik

A Large viking-like Gangrel vampire who was imprisoned by the Tremere, who tried to turn him into a hideous gargoyle monster. He uses his great strenght to help the coterie in their battles. Eventually, in Vienna, he meets his fate when Etrius completes the ritual and turns him into a mindless gargoyle and the coterie is forced to finish him off.

Pink

A big, punk-like Brujah met by Christof in the "In Tenebris" pub in London. He decides to join Christof in his quest and help him. He's actually an Assamite Vampire hired by Vukodlak whose task was to stop Christof, but he's forced to flee before he can accomplish his mission.

  • The Big Guy: Again, he's simply large, just like Erik, and with melee-oriented skills to boot.
  • Deadpan Snarker: A lot.
  • Delinquent: He looks like one and speaks with a peculiar accent.
  • Face Heel Turn
  • Jerkass: He's really cocky and rude, especially to Lily and Samuel.
  • The Mole: He actually works for the Assamite clan.
  • Mr. Exposition: He introduces the mechanics of the modern world to Christof.
  • Odd Couple: He and Christof.
  • Shout-Out: His name, appearance and attitude are inspired by a character in the Pink Floyd album and movie The Wall. Fridge Brilliance sets in when you realize this isn't the writer being funny, but a role adopted by an Assamite who likely studied the film to help get into character.

Lily

A young vampire from the clan Toreador who was forced to work in the Setite Brothel by Lucretia and is freed by our heroes. She follows Christof out of gratitude and in order to find out what happened to her Sire Alexandra.

Samuel

A Nosferatu from New York, he's a member of the Camarilla. The coterie saves him from other Sabbat Nosferatu and in return, he helps them with his powers and his friend Dev/Null. Despite his grotesque face and body, he's very kind and soft spoken.

Villains

Ahzra the Unliving

A Tzimisce vampire who dwells in the deeps of Bonn's Silver Mines. When she attacks Christof, she boast about the coming awakening of the Mathuselah of Vysehrad, but gets slain by the young crusader.

Ardan

A Tremere Sorcerer in Prague and the leader in charge of the slave trades. The coterie storm his hidden base in Golden Lane and eventually kill him after a brief battle.

Count Orsi

A Ventrue nobleman is basically the "boss" of Vienna and often buys human slaves. He ask the Coterie to kill the Lasombra Kindred Luther in exchange for his help, but eventually sells them to the Tremere and has them arrested. After the timeskip, Christof finds out that Orsi (now president of the Orsi Corporation) is still alive and helps the Tzimisce with his factories. After a final clash in the factory, he meets his final and well deserved doom when Christof tosses him into a vat of molten metal.

Luther Black

One of the high rank Lasombra Vampires, he lives in a secret lair inside the Vienna Clock Tower, where he lies onto a silver cross, guarded by a small army of Ghouls and Dark Hunters. When the coterie reachs him, he actually asks them to put him out of his misery.

Virstania

A Tremere regent that lives in the Haus Die Hexe in Vienna. She attacks the Coterie in the Gargoyle Den, but is killed after an harsh battle.

Etrius

The Leader of the Tremere Vampires in Vienna, is a powerful wizard who wages war with the Tzimisce and with all those who stand against him. He turns Erik into a Gargoyle and fights the party, but he eventually flees after telling them about Anezka's whereabouts.

Libussa

A Tzimisce Vampire and Vukodlak's servant, is a fanatically devoted vampiress who offered her body and will to her evil master.

Father Leo Allatius

The old and wise leader of the Society of Leopold, a group of human Vampire hunters, is actually a long lived ghoul who has survived feeding on the blood of the captured Vampires.

Lucretia

Leader of the Setite cult in London, she controls a Brothel where human and vampire girls are kept prisoners. The Coterie fights her to free Lily, but has to find her Heart, which is sealed in the London's Tower. She informs Christof about Vukodlak's location, but tries to kill him one last time and is slain.

The Underprince

The boss of the Sabbat Nosferatu, ambushes the coterie in the sewers of New York but is defeated.

Alessandro Giovanni

The boss of the Giovanni vampires in New York who works with the Tzimisce for the cash. Is killed by Pink before he can reveal the location of Vukodlak's coffin.

Vukodlak the Defiler

The powerful Voivode and Matuselah of Vysehrad castle, is a very old Cainite who was sealed in his coffin until 2000 for his crimes. He plans to use his powers to prevent Gehenna by killing the 13 Antideluvians and becoming the most powerful creature on this land. He's eventually stopped by our heroes.

Others

Anezka

A young nun and Christof's love interest, is kidnapped by the Cainites while trying to find out about Christof's location and falls into Tzimisce hands and is ghouled. Right before the final battle, the coterie finds out that Anezka actually did all the possible to slow down Vukodlak's revival and endured a lot of dire sacrifices to stop him. In the good ending, she dies in Christof's arms after Vukodlak's death. She doesn't actually die, but rather gets embraced by Christof and turned into a real vampire in the process, as she was a ghoul before and would have died after the defeat of Vukodlak.

  • Beware the Nice Ones: She's a sweet nun, very polite and quiet. But once given a reason to, she'll show amazing willpower and cunning.
  • Break the Cutie: What she endured under Libussa and Vukodlak is unspeakable at least.
  • Face Heel Turn: After being turned into a Tzimisce Ghoul. Subverted.
  • Fate Worse Than Death: Living as a slave for the Tzimisce must have been dire...
  • Holy Hand Grenade: She has (had) true faith, and so the Premysl Revenants couldn't even approach her.

Ecatherina the Wise

Elder of the Brujah clan in Prague, is a noble and ancient cainite from Carthage, and the one who Embraced Christof in first place. After the time-skip, it is revealed that she joined the Sabbat, but she secretly works against Vukodlak.

  • Face Heel Turn: She joined the Sabbat.
  • Femme Fatale: Briefly seduces and undermines Christof before Embracing him. As she notes, his strength as a mortal came from his Faith, and without it, would he be any good as a vampire?
  • Wicked Cultured: Exemplifies the old-school ideals of the Brujah as philosophers and scholars.

Cosmas

Elder of the Brujah clan along with Ecaterina, is a tall, proud warrior. Apparently, he died during the time-skip.

  • Bald of Evil: He's bald, and his awesomness (and potentially evilness) are plain to see, even if he doesn't contribute to any of the acts in the story.
  • The Dragon: To Ecaterina.
  • Killed Offscreen: Died in the chaos resulting from the human uprising.

Garinol

Large and wise leader of the Cappadocian vampires in Petrin Hill monastery. Is the Sire of Serena.

Josef

A really old and ugly Nosferatu, is the keeper of the secret Tunnels of Prague, a veritable labyrinth infested by Nosferatu, Giant Rats and ghosts. The coterie must give him a chalice of Elder Vitae from Ecaterina so that he will open the gates.

Tetha, Kazi and Zheel

Three beautiful vampire sisters Embraced by Orsi. Tetha and Zeel are mute, so you can speak only with Kazi.

Dev/Null

A Malkavian hacker and friend of Samuel. He gives indications to the coterie concerning the location of Vukodlak's Sarcophagus.

Alexandra

A Toreador vampiress and Lily's sire. She was imprisoned by Orsi and forced to paint beautiful works for him. She's eventually set free by Christof.
