Biography
Vanessa Coal is an 8th, 9th, or 10th generation Ventrue and the current Prince of the Lower Island in Tri-Island City. She was born in the 1820's in New York City to a wealthy family with a long history of business success. Vanessa inherited her family's shrewd business sense and became a successful entrepreneur in her own right.
In the mid-1800s, Vanessa traveled to the Tri-Island area to explore business opportunities in mining. She quickly saw the potential for wealth in the rich coal deposits outside of the city limits and founded Coal Industries, which became one of the most profitable mining companies in the region. Vanessa's business savvy and sharp negotiation skills helped her acquire vast amounts of wealth and power.
Less than a decade later Vanessa was embraced into the Ventrue clan by someone who recognized her potential as a leader. Vanessa used her wealth and influence to solidify her position as the Prince of the Lower Island a few decades later, a position she has held now for over a century.
Vanessa is known for her shrewdness and ruthlessness, both in business and in politics. She is highly respected by her peers, but also feared for her cunning and ambition. Despite her harsh exterior, Vanessa is deeply loyal to her allies and fiercely protective of her domain.

Appearance
Vanessa Coal has a commanding presence and carries herself with an air of regality that befits her position as the Prince of Lower Island. She stands tall at 5'10" and has a slim, athletic build. Her piercing blue eyes are sharp and calculating, and seem to miss nothing. She wears her blonde hair in a sophisticated updo, and is always impeccably dressed in the latest fashions. Her skin is smooth and flawless, with just a hint of a youthful blush on her cheeks. However, her demeanor can be cold and distant, giving her an aura of superiority and detachment.

Haven
Vanessa Coal's main haven is an opulent and spacious mansion located in the heart of the historic district of the Lower Island. The mansion is surrounded by a high fence and guarded by well-trained personnel, making it a nearly impenetrable fortress. The interior of the mansion is adorned with priceless works of art and furniture, and it boasts an impressive library and a wine cellar stocked with rare vintages.
The mansion is staffed with a team of loyal ghouls who attend to Vanessa's every need, from cleaning to cooking to running errands. They are handpicked for their discretion and loyalty, and they have been trained to defend the mansion and its occupants in case of an attack.
Vanessa rarely invites other Kindred into her haven, preferring to keep her personal space private and secure. However, she occasionally hosts small gatherings of her most trusted allies and advisers, often using the opportunity to discuss the latest developments in the city's political landscape and share her insights on how to maintain the stability of the Camarilla in the Tri-Island area.

Modern Nights
In modern nights, Vanessa Coal still holds her position as the Prince of the Lower Island in Tri-Island City. She has managed to maintain her power and influence through a combination of political maneuvering, financial control, and manipulation of information.
Coal Industries, the company she founded during the industrial revolution, has continued to prosper under her leadership. In fact, the company has expanded into other industries such as oil and gas, real estate, and telecommunications. Vanessa's business empire has made her one of the wealthiest and most powerful Kindred in the city.
Despite her focus on business and politics, Vanessa has not neglected her duties as a Ventrue or as Prince. She is a shrewd and cunning strategist, and has taken an active role in shaping the policies and direction of the Camarilla in Tri-Island City. She is always on the lookout for opportunities to expand her power and influence, and is not above using underhanded tactics to achieve her goals.
Some whisper that Vanessa has ambitions to take over the entiriety of Tri-Island City, and that she has been making connections and alliances with powerful Kindred to help achieve her goals. Only time will tell if these rumors are true, but one thing is certain: Vanessa Coal is a Kindred to be reckoned with, and those who underestimate her do so at their own peril.
Vanessa has also recently ordered her herald, Charles Castle, to intervene in the ongoing confilict between Baron Eric and Baron Hef. Her latest letter has ordered them that one of them must meet the final death within the next six months or else both of them and their baronies shall be destroyed.
