Welcome to New Orleans: Under the Mask

I was born into a military family, and moved around a lot as a kid (and consequently was homeschooled). I never got on with my family, and, when we finally settled in New Orleans, I ended up leaving home too young, and ended up running with some pretty bad company. I did some things I shouldn't have, and eventually I ended up in the custody of an officer of the NOPD.

I guess he saw something useful in me, and he offered to let the charges against me slide if I started working for him instead. He had me start infiltrating the gangs I used to work for, and provide him with intelligence about who was running things.

I put him in position for a couple of significant busts, and felt I was working my way up the hierarchy in the gangs. I had more or less figured out that there appeared to be a major player who was running several of the major gangs, and was getting myself in position to start finding him.

Then, I found myself Embraced. I didn't get much support from the older Vampires initially, as the like to let their new recruits figure it out for themselves, so they can see who might be useful to them. Apparently, my sire is one of the senior gangsters, and felt they needed some reinforcements.

A few months later, I've more or less figured this out, and have managed to avoid making enemies among the senior Brujah. I hear there are other clans, but I've only barely met them.

I'm still trying to figure out my place here, as I came to this part of the world to unseat these gangsters and now I'm supposed to work for them. I suspect I'll have to decide which side I'm on permanently fairly soon.... Until then, I try to look out for Louie, my old mentor, as he's really the only person who ever looked out for me.
