Germano Giovanni's purchase of the abandoned S.M.Archangel Farms poured in vastly needed revenue into Beauport's tiny coffers, but this was trivial compared to the billions of New Francs he poured into the construction of a new gated community at the center of Vieux-Moulin, Archangel Estates. As of the beginning of 2043, Germano Giovanni could do just about anything he wanted, short of something obviously and dangerously illegal and the Beauport city council would bend over backwards to accommodate him.

This discipline combination eliminates the penalty from (skin of the chameleon) for moving faster than walking speed.

−
System: the vampire activates skin of the chameleon as normal and another blood point to activate this ability. When active, the movement penalty is negated for a scene, however, when the vampire moves at greater than walking speed, observers may make a perception + alertness role, difficulty = to 10 - the number of actions the cloaked vampire takes in the round. This perception role may only be made if there observer takes a full round! If successful, the observer sees the outlined form of the cloaked vampire but gains no further information about that individual unless he/she successfully sees past the hidden figure's dex + stealth.<br>

Origin: I originally gained the necromantic ritual - Circle of Cerebus, a level one Giovanni rite after attacking and killing a household of Australian Giovanni in Sidney - circa 2037 - 1st Iteration. But, after playing with it for a while, Jamie and I deemed it too powerful and I researched this variant which is very basic.{BZ} (Brian:ST)

Thaumaturgy Rituals

Level 1


Backgrounds
Allies 5 -- La Cosa Nostra

Yes Germano's allies are mafiosi or rather the grandchildren of mafiosi he fought alongside during his breathing days. Germano's primary mob allies are among the 5 families of New York city, but he knows made-men from several lesser crime families. Considering Germano's age and change of appearance, his current identity is likely a descendant of the original Germano and a made-man in his own right, but as such he will likely have to prove himself to every new generation.

Arcane Objects
Contacts 5 -- La Cosa Nostra

Germano's contacts are mostly mob affiliates who often work with the various crime families without necessarily being members of the five families themselves. The following is a short list of Germano's major contacts.

    • -- Fiorella Pavesi -- Neapolitan Mafia Mistress
    • -- Jaymz McFarlane -- Dirty Organized Crime Detective (Afro-American)
    • -- Adi Shafir -- Loan Shark, often called "Sapphira". (Jewish Mafia)
    • -- Ríoghnán Desmond -- Loud-mouthed Irish Fence (Irish Mafia affiliate)
    • -- The Custodian -- The custodian is an independent cleaner who can be called at anytime to cleanse crime scenes and get rid of evidence. (anonymous)
      • (minor contact) -- <<Edgar Vincent>> -- Young homicide detective in Quebec City.
      • (minor contact) (F) -- City Coroner (flirts with Germano whom she believe to be a private investigator)
Domain 5 -- Vieux-Moulin - Beauport

Vieux-Moulin is a sub-district of Beauport, Quebec City with an estimated 15000 residents.

Officially, Germano was Embraced 11th generation, but having been 'blessed' by the Urge Wyrm of Power, his effective generation has increased to 7th, but there are likely to be side-effects.

Influence 5 -- Vieux-Moulin - Beauport

Germano Giovanni's purchase of the abandoned S.M.Archangel Farms poured in vastly needed revenue into Beauport's tiny coffers, but this was trivial compared to the billions of New Francs he poured into the construction of a new gated community at the center of Vieux-Moulin, Archangel Estates. As of the beginning of 2043, Germano Giovanni could do just about anything he wanted, short of something obviously and dangerously illegal and the Beauport city council would bend over backwards to accommodate him.

Influence 1 -- Quebec City Morgue
Mentor 1

Terzo Giovanni -- Technically, Terzo is only ancilla, but he is a permanent resident of Venice which makes him all the more valuable to Germano when the time comes for returning home.

Resources 6 -- Real-estate

Germano was promised a sizable reward for the recovery of those funds embezzled by Enzo Giovanni (several hundred billion dollars) and his reward was a stock settlement that makes him a garden-variety billionaire.

Retainers 5

The clan's latest darling for killing the traitor Enzo Giovanni and recovering a staggering fraction of the clan's collective funds.
