Lasombra Antitribu of Paris
The history of the Lasombra Antitribu in Paris is very recent. Indeed, they appeared in the city only by 1804. And this history is very special, too. It all began in 1799 when the Toreador Arnaud met Francesca and felt in love with her. The love was shared by the woman, and soon he learned she was a Lasombra Antitribu seeking refuge into Paris. The "Grand Couturier" made this possible and since then the Lasombra Antitribu keeps a low profile, surviving is secret in the shadows of the City of Lights.
Generally speaking, the Bloodline is friendly with Toreador because of Arnaud and with Gangrels because of Juan (even if Juan doesn't have the same feelings for the Bloodline). Bâtards are supported because of Tania. In fact, Francesca thinks the Pander movement should be copied by the Camarilla and she has even begun to search for a suitable leader. Her attention was caught by Catherine when she met her at Arnaud's workshop (he made a dress for Cath for the New Year Night soirée at the Louvre) but found her too hard to control (Cath share a deep friendship with Tania and Juan, and she hates Francesca for what she think was a forced Embrace on Tania). Still, Francesca sees nobody else to replace her...
The Anarchs are seen with a favorable eye, as long as they don't disturb the Bloodline plans. They're seen as part of the establishment. Francesca attitudes can be confusing (especially after a reading the Clanbook: Lasombra!), but it must be remembered that the Lasombra Antitribu hide themselves, thus living side by side with caitiff, anarchs, etc. Therefore their opinions on those matters have been updated, sometimes radically...
Hence, the Lasombra of Paris form a tiny group but a very ambitious one, who could be well succeed in t heir plan. They don't have an official existance but believe firmly they are in their way to obtain it.
For now they remain hidden and enjoy the position, so it's unlikely that any kindred will cross their path. However should this happen, the unfortunate one would be in a scary situation: The Bloodline not only has some control over the city Sabbat but is also linked directly to the Prince... As a conclusion, they're better left alone.
The Lasombra Antitribu will have to change their plans: The Sabbat seem to awaken for their (controlled) torporous state, and with the growing numbers of War Parties coming to Paris to feed from the old crones, the influence of the controlled Sabbat pack will decreased.
Francesca has now another bit of information disturbing her, as it seems that Montano has given the responsibility to another than her to awaken a blood brother she ignored even the existence. With the knowledge of the existence of Amon, Francesca is now considering an total alliance with the Camarilla Kindred of Paris, in exchange for the destruction of a maximum of Sabbat by her own controlled pack, as well as the identity of the possible survivors.
