Seduced and abandoned by their Sires, the Caitiff are everywhere on the fringes of Cainite society. Clanless and unwanted, the Caitiff are the results of one-night stands, infatuations, frenzied Embraces and outright msitakes. Most have hazy recollections, at best, of Sire and Embrace; some have none whatsoever. Stumbling into the haze of a new existence, each eventually discovered the keys to survival - usually in the form of other Caitiff looking out for a newcomer - or died trying.

Appearance (Mechanics): [3] Appearance-related Traits (Magnetic x2, Seductive), obvious Social Merit (Enchanting Voice)

Description: John Tisch was remembered for a span as having one of the more memorable introductions to New York vampiric society. The young NYU theater major was apparently Embraced in a rather intoxicated state during a college party, and then directed to Elysium (then taking place on the Chapel Perilous houseboat). He arrived at his destination and proceeded to indecorously vomit his internal organs upon the deck.

This was apparently a prank. The Camarilla, however, was not amused.

Tisch was eventually informed of his situation and placed under the tutelage of William Lansing. The next several months were confusing for the young neonate, who had to rapidly familiarize himself with an increasingly unforgiving Kindred society. He eventually found sympathy, however, in a young Brujah named Sarah Capone, with whom he rapidly slipped into a deep and torrid love affair.

Tisch's origin's eventually caught up with him, when his Sire (an Anarch Ventrue) found him, and he was faced with serious decision in Sect loyalty. He eventually made the decision to defect, and Capone proved willing to join him.

Before they could fully detach themselves from the Camarilla, however, tragedy struck, as both of them we're captured and presumably put to final death at the hands of the New York Sabbat.

A.K.A.: n/a

Player: Inactive (formerly played by Jacob)

Appearance:

Appearance (Mechanics): *[4]* Appearance-related Traits (Elegant x2, Magnetic x2), obvious Negative Physcial Trait (Lame), obvious Physical Merit (Blush of Health)

Description: William Lansing came to New York in the Fall of 2004 from his home in Seattle where his Sire, Sara Madison was Primogen for the Clanless. He served as her Whip on the Council for several years and gained some notoriety in the Camarilla for organizing Caitiff into effective members of the Camarilla who would help in dealing with the Kindred of the East and Sabbat problems in Seattle.

Upon arriving in New York, he quickly established himself as a loyal and capable Camarilla member and Prince Evans entrusted him with the position of Keeper of Elysium. Several months later, Lansing was appointed Advocate to the Primogen Council for the Unrepresented, due to the lack of several key Primogen and the large number of Kindred not usually part of the Camarilla.

In late January of 2006, Lansing was revealed by Greer to be plotting an assassination coup targeting Prince Evans. He had apparently confided to her and asked her to join him after a profession of love. She evidently did not requite him.

After evading capture, he subsequently made a public declaration of praxis on behalf of current Seneschal Darren West, declaring the Prince to be insane and unfit for office. The initial praxis, eventually seconded by West, failed and Lansing was placed under the Lex Talionis. He managed to flee to New Jersey where it is now known that he is currently granted asylum by the mysterious Kuei-jin who rule there.
