During the course of the various stories of this chronicle the coterie has and will meet many characters so I'm therefore creating several profile pages for different groups within my version of kindred Los Angeles to help them keep track. I'll also amend these profiles as new information comes to light and old 'facts' turn out to be less factual than originally thought...

Therese/Jeanette Voerman- Jacob, 5th Generation Malkavian
Clan
Lore (Both)
The popularity of both locations continued to rise and the Asylum franchise has now gone international having locations across America, Asia and Europe. Many now consider it to be 'The' nightclub of the undead, rivalling even Chicago's Succubus Club. Given the need to monitor an international empire of clubs while also keeping track of her assets and other businesses in Santa Monica the Baron has a Seneschal named Jane Lane who keeps things in order for her while she's absent and deals with those issues beneath her notice when she is present.
Though Therese is undoubtedly the business mind of the two, Jeanette for her part has a network of contacts, informants, retainers and former lovers that constantly feed her information on a wide variety of subjects hoping to gain her favour in return. With the political and financial influence of the one and the information network of the other making enemies of the Voerman's is considered an extremely poor decision...though usually an extremely brief one...
Therese Voerman is aware that the coterie of the Baron of Pasadena, Michael Tomassio has Camarilla sympathies but as she herself also values order over chaos she has not used this information against them.

Although Therese is a Malkavian, she dresses and acts like a Ventrue; as her sister Jeanette Voerman states, "She won't even feed unless it's poured into a glass". Therese was loyal to the Camarilla when they had a presence in Los Angeles but had more than enough power and influence to maintain her position within the Free States after LaCroix's unfortunate and spectacular demise at the hands of Smiling Jack. Her sister Jeanette leaned more towards the Anarch position as would be expected of some-one of her less predictable nature. In L.A., to "Do a Voerman" is to make a member of your own coterie a sworn enemy.
Jeanette and Therese alternate between co-operation and near violent disagreement on a wide variety of issues though some suspect that this is merely to confound their opponents. After their most recent apparent falling out Therese maintained control over Santa Monica's Asylum, briefly re-branding it as 'The New Asylum', while Jeanette opened a second location in Hollywood. The sisters never appear in the same club.

Jane Lane was a successful lawyer with a thriving practice in Hollywood Los Angeles until embraced apparently on a whim by an unknown kindred, and left with a bewildering array of new abilities and absolutely no idea of how to deal with the unlife that had been inflicted upon her. An inability to see clients during the day was a minor inconvenience compared to wanting to tear their throats out.
This new kindred came to the attention of Jeanette Voerman when she wandered into her club in Hollywood apparently drawn by the connection that all Malkavians seem to share to one degree or another. The sister added her to her considerable list of lovers and playthings before pointing her in the direction of her sister Therese when she began to get bored of her. Far more pragmatic than her sister , Therese offered her a role managing her business interests while she was away, and tasks she deemed unimportant while she was. Grateful for the chance to regain some aspect of the life taken from her she has taken on the role with relish and considerable skill.
When Jane hunts she does so amongst the social elite of Los Angeles attending the most fashionable clubs, restaurants and haunts though few would recognise her as the Seneschal Jane when she does so. Jane searches for prey in the guise of 'Janice' a beautiful and ruthless sexual predator who takes what and who she wants, when she wants, while making them believe that they are entirely willing parties, sometimes perhaps they even are. Somewhat amusingly Jeanette now has a newfound interest in her former plaything but only when she wears the mask of the predatory 'Janice'.
She is also broadly speaking responsible for deploying Therese's commando coterie in it's defence of Santa Monica's borders from poaching thin-bloods and other uninvited guests. In practical terms though the coterie is led by Ellie-May Li.

Jeanette/Therese Voerman (1: Asylum Membership, 2: Performing Monkey), Sect War Veteran (1: Survivor, 2: Active Participant, 4: No Vampire's Land)
Taught martial arts by her brother in order to defend herself in an increasingly volatile political atmosphere in pre-boxer rebellion China after the death of their parents in a flood. European legations had a particular jurisdiction status in Peking in that they were not subject to Chinese authorities so robbers, raiders and worse committed their crimes then took shelter in the European legations to escape any punishment for their criminal acts, hence triggering exasperation among the townspeople and causing her brother to fear for her safety during his absences.
She showed considerable skill and natural talent for the skills she was taught and her brother continued her lessons until his death at the Battle of Langfang against invading foreign troops. Devastated by the loss of her brother and having no ties to her home she gathered her few belongings and left.
Such an environment was dangerous to travel through for any at the time let alone a young woman alone and she fell foul of a rampaging group of foreign soldiers intent on rape and pillage. Though the first of her attackers paid with his life and the second with his manhood she was soon overwhelmed. Unfortunately for them she had also gained the attention of a Chinese Toreador whose haven had been destroyed during the conflict and was looking for a place to spend the day. After feeding himself with their blood, and the girl with their rations, he blood bound her to himself as a watcher during the day and she became his companion as they made their way out of China. Once they were safely established, far from the warzone he embraced her as a reward for her service.
Over the next century Li Min learned a great many martial arts, flitting between them as they came in and out of fashion moving from Chinese martial arts, Japanese, Western boxing and any number of others. Somewhat scornful of other Toreador whose artistic obsessions were in her opinion transitory and pointless she continues with her own personal quest to create a martial art that is as deadly as it is beautiful to watch. Though she is never satisfied with her creations those who have cause to oppose her rarely survive the experience. Her preference is for speed and skill over brute force though she also is not above using her talents with the Presence discipline to intimidate or charm should a conversation be a preferable solution to a problem. In her opinion death by her carefully crafted skills should be considered an honour...
Recruited by Therese Voerman while touring her Asian business interests she now goes by the name Ellie-May and leads the commando coterie that defends the Voerman's and continues to test herself wherever possible. She has a considerable grasp of tactics and uses the coteries various strengths to their best while ensuring that the weaknesses of each cannot be exploited.

Aliases
Originally hailing from Scotland the Malkavian known as either Hamish or Jim as the mood takes him was embraced on a whim as is often the case with Malkavian sires.
Though most presume his skills are martial in nature due to his height and physical development his abilities as a grappler are mainly used to keep a target in position so he can make eye-contact. Once he has his hands on a victim there are few capable of overcoming his vast physical strength.
Able to twist a persons thoughts against them Hamish is an expert at interrogation and information retrieval though very few of his victims are quite the same again and it was utilising these skills as a 'gun for hire' that he traded for his nightly requirements. If asked why he left his homeland, travelled to the states and then onto Los Angeles he would be hard-pressed to give a reasonable explanation. It just seemed like a good idea at the time...
Now he uses his extensive mental talents to ensure that uninvited guests to Santa Monica understand the folly of their mistake and to ascertain exactly what their intentions are. His powers of Premonition also enable his coterie mates to be in exactly the places they need to be in order to prevent his mistress being caught by surprise. If ever there was a kindred defined by the phrase 'Plays with his food' it is Hamish Moody

Fatima al-Faqadi (1: Weapons Locker, 2: Extended Web), Jeanette/Therese Voerman (1: Asylum Membership, 2: Performing Monkey), Occult Artefacts (1:Rowan Ring), Sect War Veteran (1: Survivor, 2: Active Participant)
Daughter of a foreign mercenary and a middle-eastern prostitute she grew up on the streets making her way as a pickpocket and petty thief though this is as much of her early life as is known to any-one except perhaps the Voermans and Jane Lane.
Recruited after she was observed in an altercation with a group of drug dealers she was attempting to liberate of their money and stock. It was during this failed robbery where she sustained significant injuries to her face and what would have been a fatal stab wound to the heart were it not for the fact that her sire chose to embrace her. Unfortunately the embrace is not always consistent in results and though the chest wound healed those to her face now have the unfortunate habit of seeping blood when she feeds or becomes agitated.
Educated in the path of blood followed by her sire and taught how to use the speed, stealth and sorcerous skills that were her clans heritage she soon became his prize pupil and claimed the lives and unlives of many of the enemies of the clan. When Ur-Shulgi returned to re-shape the clan to the form that he believed the Banu Haqim's antediluvian had intended many including Charlie's sire fled their ancestral bases as those not immediately pledging themselves to his way were ruthlessly purged.
Though she left with her sire, she arrived in the west quite alone where her skills were equally in demand by Camarilla Princes and Anarch Barons alike. Skilled in firearms, bladed weapons and blood magics to enhance her ability to both hunt and kill prey her success rate came to the attention of a certain enterprising Malkavian who was looking for just such a person to protect her business interests. She prefers if possible to attack from ambush using Obfuscate and Celerity to overwhelm a foe before they even know she's there. She also has a basic grasp of blood magic which she sometimes uses to enhance her weapons if Mandi is unavailable though her skill in that area is considerably less advanced than that of her Tremere coterie-mate.
In Los Angeles she has encountered another of her clan named Daniel Matthews who she knows has a price on his head. The price is the promise of a lowering of the generation of any who provide the information that leads to his sire locating his lost childe. The price specified has now apparently been matched by her employer Therese Voerman though exactly how is best not to be considered. Daniel Matthews on the other hand now finds himself in debt to the Voerman's.

Descendent of Tyler (1: Instigator, 3: Tyler's Mercy), Jeanette/Therese Voerman (1: Asylum Membership, 2: Performing Monkey), Kindred Dueling (1: Honourable Combatant), Sect War Veteran (1: Survivor, 2: Active Participant)
Originally part of a small bike gang in Chicago with minor interests in drug dealing and prostitution they fell foul of an enemy expansion into their minor operations. Though quite capable of handling themselves against mortal foes the leader of the rivals they assaulted was much more than mere kine and the gang had made the understandable mistake of attacking their rivals during the night.
As the last to fall he presumed that he was to join the fate of the others but it was not to be as the remnants of his blood was drained and replaced with something far more potent. He sated his fledgling hunger on the cooling lifeblood of his former friends and started a new existence as the right hand of his sire along with his three other childer. Though healthy competition was encouraged by his sire, Lex soon became convinced that nothing he did seemed to satisfy the one who had created him and an argument about his status provoked both he and his sire to frenzy. Despite their differences in age and generation Lex prevailed and for the first time enacted the forbidden act of diablerie.
As the Camarilla held sway in Chicago and knowing that his three 'brothers' would attempt to destroy him for what he had done he left the city that very night. Travelling by dark and sleeping wherever he could find during the day he became a plague to lone hikers across the highways of America before eventually reaching the Anarch Free States. Finding himself in a club called the Asylum he met a kindred called Jeanette who made him an interesting offer. Well, two offers, the second of which was employment as a Scourge for the enforcers of her sister.
Though he has considerale skill with a knife and carries a sawn off shotgun in a custom shoulder rig his preferred method of combat is hand to hand where he makes use of either a set of spiked knuckledusters or a set of studded gloves. Along with 'Chick' he acts as one of the Voermans scourges though their direct skills are supplemented by the abilities of the final two members of the coterie.

Unlike most Tremere elsewhere in the Dark Medieval world, the Telyavelic actively Embraced women, seeing them as embodiment's of the dark mother-goddess figures of local paganism. Although the majority of this group is still male, nearly a third is female, and many of these were created during the middle age. Candidates for Embrace must come from the ranks of pagans. Many of them are priests and priestesses of the old religion and such was the case with the woman then known as Arethusa.
Surviving and thriving within the ranks of the Telyavelic she advanced the clans knowledge of blood magic in a variety of areas though was particularly interested in the martial applications of the various paths and disciplines developed. As the variation of the pyramid used by her bloodline only bought neonates two thirds of the way to a blood bond her strength of will enabled her to break from the clan and she left to seek knowledge from whatever other sources she could including a dangerous but informative decade amongst the Tremere antitribu of the Sabbat. In recent times her research has led her to rumours of an abandoned chantry in LA so she happily accepted Therese's offer of a job with her enforcers in Santa Monica as this allowed her to gain an easy means of travel to LA.
She supports the others with poisons for weapons and rituals to track any interlopers that escape the grasp of Hamish. She has gained a reputation amongst her fellow coterie members for liking to kill in as messy a way as possible though when feeding she never misses a drop. Now she is reasonably sure the Chantry is not in Santa Monica she is looking elsewhere in her spare time. With the fall of the main chantry in Vienna and the disruption amongst the bloodlines and houses of clan Tremere she firmly believes that a group of like minded kindred could create their own haven for knowledge and research, free from the restrictive practices of the past. In her opinion a chantry belonging to a former regent would be an excellent place to start and Therese has broadly agreed to assist her in this quest as long as her original duties are not neglected.
