The Camarilla of Houston
The Camarilla is the most widely influential organization Kindred history has ever known. Its stated purpose is to preserve the Masquerade, an elaborate veil
of deception pulled over the eyes of the living to hide
the existence of the Kindred. But the Camarilla is so
much more. It is a conspiracy to preserve the power of
the elders, an undead secret society influencing global
business and politics, the closest thing the Kindred have to a system of government, and
an international union of cities akin to
the United Nations – complete with
a central inner circle and a cadre of
justicars and archons traveling the
world to “keep the peace,” answering to nameless masters. The sect
maintains a fierce moral stance
on preserving humanity in the
face of the impulses of the Blood,
seeing themselves as the shepherds of the blind human throng –
simultaneously morally superior and
inferior to their short-lived subjects.
The sheer age, power, and wealth of many Camarilla members, and the recent exclusion of the Anarchs from their ranks, makes the sect distinctly upper class. These are the monsters that hide behind $5000 cocktail dresses, meticulously tended stock portfolios, and havens guarded by blood slaves in private security uniforms. They are the one percent of the one percent and they hunger for more. Their pawns are placed in banking and in Congress, making deals and passing bills. They are masters of disinformation, propaganda, and blackmail, never leaving a loose end untied for long. These nights, there is a lot of tying to do, but the Camarilla does not hesitate to lay ruin to human lives and Kindred unlives to protect the secrets of their influence
