Bio
Sobriquet: Lady Latimer
Appearance
Janet is a comely lady of above average height. Her chestnut hair is often put up and plaited. Her eyes are dark blue and flit between friendly condescension and outright haughtiness. She walks in short, measured steps and does not hurry for anyone. It is unladylike to get in a hurry.
Behavior
You were born to rule, and even here, out of your territory, you demand respect. So far, you have always received it. You don't win many allies among your peers—London's senior Kindred, as you see it—because you view every discussion as a chance to prove your worth and status. Your relationships with those who are clearly your inferiors are much more straightforward. You still do your best to dominate any conversation you are involved with, unless it is with someone blatantly more powerful than you—Mithras, the Justicar Violetta or her Archon, and Lady Anne, for example.
History
Janet is the childe of Prince Shaw of Manchester. She is in London as an ambassador of Manchester to Mithras. Janet Latimer is Lorna Dingwalls chaperone in London. They are working with several agents in the city to keep Mithras off balance so their Barons can break free of London's influence.
Janet Latimer is not a child of the cities, and it shows. Born to a well-to-do family in rural Cheshire, she spent her childhood and teenage years enjoying the country pursuits of the landed upper class. The local people deferred to her and her family without question, not least because her father owned most of the farmland in the surrounding area and thus controlled all the jobs.
A few trips into Manchester with her mother were the sole extent of Janet's experience of the city until Shawlands chose to Embrace her. The Baron of Manchester had some business dealings with George Latimer and would occasionally drive out to the estate for a late supper with him. Naturally, Latimer expected his wife and daughter to entertain his business associate.
Shawlands became quite fascinated with the young woman. He spotted a keen intelligence in her that went to waste on a life of rural pursuits. Her upbringing and status could make her a useful asset in Britain's surprisingly class-conscious Kindred society.
Shawlands invited the whole family to join him for a night at the theatre in Manchester, then had his ghouls set upon the coach carrying Mrs. Latimer and her daughter into the city. They beat the coachman into unconsciousness, at which point Mrs. Latimer fainted dead away, and they kidnapped Janet.
Even as Shawlands comforted the distraught Latimer over the loss of his child, he was training her in her responsibilities as his first childe. While it took a decade for her to grow used to the idea of drinking blood, life in Manchester's Kindred community suited Janet just fine.
Shawlands had been right: her fierce intelligence came into its own in the new setting. With the blessings of the city's primogen, Janet eventually became Shawlands' seneschal, a duty she enjoyed thoroughly. With the prince's attention split between Manchester itself and the rapidly growing port of Liverpool, he needed a second pair of eyes. Janet was able to act in his stead in Manchester when he passed several nights in Liverpool.
The rapid influx of country people into the city throughout the 19th century has made existence much easier for Janet. She is able to feed only on farm workers, and the number of them now working in the docks and factories of the area makes hunting much less onerous for her.
Janet's sire's decision to send her to London came as a shock. He explained that the similarity between Lady Anne's new position and her own experiences in Manchester would hopefully allow the two to build up a rapport that could be usefully exploited in the long term. Again, his assessment proved remarkably accurate. Anne has more than once sought out Janet's advice in the year or so she has been in London.
Indeed, Janet has grown to enjoy Lady Anne's company and becomes increasingly uncomfortable with the knowledge that her sire has other agents in the city, whose actions cause Anne some degree of consternation. Furthermore, having met Mithras in person several times now, she wonders what Shawlands really hopes to accomplish against such a Kindred.
The delights of London and the easy feeding all add to the city's attractiveness. Should the time come when her sire summons her back to Manchester, she will be reluctant to leave. Perhaps if she reveals her sire's plans, she might be given permission to stay.
