The Phoenix Society
Perceived goal: Destroying elders around the country.
Real Goal: Though the Phoenix Society is not above doing away with an elder who gets in their path, its true goal is the elimination of the Justicars, who the Phoenix Society feels are responsible for the persecution of the anarchs.
Prince's song "7" is obviously out of place when it is played on a small easy listening/contemporary or classical radio station serving any given city. But then, its purpose is to get noticed. "7" is the calling card of one of the most feared anarch organizations. Its members use the popular song as a battle anthem. By playing it, the Society informs the Camarilla leaders that they are planning a strike within a city and challenges them to stop it.
The killing of elders and assassination attempts on Justicars, though more than enough to keep its members permanently on the Camarilla's Most Wanted list, are not the only activities in which the Phoenix Society engages. Because its members view the Camarilla's decrees against them as attempts to protect their persecutors, members of the Society do whatever they can to disrupt a prince's power in a city. The seriousness of these activities ranges from disabling his car to causing city-wide blackouts or explosions at major business areas.
The Camarilla does not seem to know for sure who is behind the Society, alternately blaming anarchs, Sabbat, Setites and anyone else with whom it presently conflicts. Certain Tradition Mages have been known to support it clandestinely. Setites also back its activities in a strange sort of alliance. Both favor corruption of the Camarilla cities and try to avoid interfering in the other's affairs. Finally, though no Sabbat claims to be a member of the Society, the sect keeps a close eye on it and may well have spies among its members.
