This is where I propose we put our notes re: the elders for the vampire game. My thoughts are as follows. Fundamentally, we're not players, we're GM aides. That being said, we should try to create situations that do the following: 1.) Enhance the thematic elements of the game world 2.) Provide interesting 'plot hooks' for the characters to follow, probably in the form of ways to get involved in the city politics. 3.) Drive the players towards interesting components of the main plot.

So, I am going to put what I think will be the main "features" of Genevieve down. Then I'll post what her main "agenda items" at this time are, generally. Then I'll post 1-3 things that she's working on ca. this time, that the players might get tied up in or hear about. I'm open to a different structure, and others of you can opt to comment how you may or may not be involved in these things.

Genevieve: My view of Genevieve is that underneath it all, she is a believer. She sees her domain as a crucible in which vampires and mortals alike are tested to reveal who serves satan and who serves God. Above all, her concern is the protection and strengthening of the faithful. As such, she should be continually pushing those in the lancea sanctum to improve themselves. She sees it as a divine calling to maintain order and structure amongst the kindred of the city, and thus is not afraid to use whatever means necessary to this end.
Currently, Genevieve is most concerned with firming her grasp on the city. She is less interested in restoring "stability" immediately than in making sure the members of lancea sanctum come out stronger and more experienced when the smoke clears. She sees this as a good opportunity to make some broad strokes and to give some of her allies the opportunity to prove themselves. She also sees it as a good opportunity to force Blade's hand a bit. Her second agenda item is securing Pope's alliance: not anything deep, but something functional.
Agenda Items:
1.) Liam will be kept on the job of ferreting out what blade's plays are right now.
2.) Genevieve will pick someone very loyal and have them be the "point person" for Pope. In a way, she intends it to be a test for both Pope and whoever it is that she picks. She will be straight with this person that it is their job to gauge Pope's trustworthiness, what it is worth giving him and what he is willing to give, and to act as his herald and advocate to Genevieve herself. IE: if you read him wrong, you will be to blame. If you read him right, and it benefits lancea sanctum, you win big.

As an aside, here are some things I think would be interesting:
1.) Although genevieve is a social darwinist, she has a weak spot for her childe chester.
2.) I think it would be kind of fun if Blade and her were previously romantically involved.
