History
Chester was once one of the great cities of England. From here, English knights held the frontier against the wilds of Wales, and forced civilization on the barbarians. However, it has faded over the centuries to the point that few mortals ever pay it any heed.
Vampiric History
Chester is the longest continually held Barony of Avalon (Glasgow is older, but did not submit to Mithras and become a barony until the end of the 17 century): Baron Marcus Veres, a childe of Mithras, once officially ruled Chester and southern Wales, holding the line against the ancient native Gangrel and Druid sorcerers. Over the centuries, he slowly prevailed, pacifying his corner of Avalon even as the world passed him by. As his court has dwindled, Baron Marcus withstood the passing of time, appearing in London just often enough to prove he has not succumbed to torpor or death.
