Gloria Alder
Ventrue of London, embraced September 2029 by Adele Pennington.
Appearance: An elegant woman in her forties, Gloria can blend into any corporate or upper-class crowd in England. She traditionally wears her long blond hair in a bun, and wears understated, fashionable clothing designed to de-emphasize her figure and native beauty. She may not be as naturally gifted at "turning it on" as she was a decade ago, but she is certainly more practiced at getting what she wants out of it.
Background: As a secretary for the HR department of an (unnamed) corporate titan, Gloria's talent for ferreting out all the dirty little secrets didn't go unnoticed. Her boss gave her a promotion, and sent her to school. In gratitude, she learned to keep the secrets she discovered. By the time she was 35, Gloria was a senior assistant to the VP of security, charged with ferreting out spies and ensuring that her company's secrets, be they corporate or personal, remained secret.
Adele Pennington ruined Gloria's life, then gave her an new one.
