==== Plans ==== ---- Long term strategy ---- **Vengeance** I want to avenge the destruction of my Sire. I believe that Archbishop [[setting/Malfalda Fiore]] is responsible. * Vengeance! PossiblyThe Prince of New York, [[setting/Michaella]], was a close friend of [[setting/Gabbriella di Firenzi|my sire]], and they had a shared background. She may be willing to assist in some ways. * Recover the transcripts that my Sire stole from 'Il Migliore' and return them. That would go a long way towards ending the clan enmity. * See [[setting/Malfalda Fiore]] condemned in a 'court of blood' with 5, 7, of 13 anonymous Lasombra for destroying my sire without sanction. I might have standing, but such proceedings may take a long time, and I should see my own reputation restored first. * Build a (written) report with Prince [[setting/Giangaleazzo]] of Milan, my Grandsire. He too may have an interest in vengeance. * [[setting/Zhenya]] has found that another group (speaking Spanish or a language similar to Spanish) has been plundering my sire's caches, as detailed in the Green Book. The caches in Europe must be considered lost, but there may be some hope for those in the Americas. Zhenya can work on archbishop [[setting/Malfalda Fiore]]this when we return to New York, with me functioning as back-up. * ParticipateWork out details on "who is who" in antithe Italian encrypted correspondence of my Sire, which uses initials. **Secure and reclaim New York** As a neonate I spoke boldly about changing the status quo in New York, and was willing to try and reclaim territory. While enthusiasm for this project in the larger community is tepid, in part for fear of reprisals, my commitment to this project is part of what secures my standing with the Camarilla. * [[SCCTOp]] should be redrafted to favour intelligence gathering, and suppression as part of a business plan, so that there can be a profitable mortals-Sabbat activities and lead a combat team. focused component. **Set up a business** I will be responsible for Masquerade violations by the team. * Start a business. * Proprietary databases access: is this a thing? Can be expensive or you need to be part of a firm. * Get an office. * Get a secretary. * Get customers. ant to establish a business intelligence / corporate espionage business as a source of revenue.

When I return I should make sure I have toaken personal possession. * See what has happened with the fund for the party to restore the church. (If the Church has not been revamped in the mean time.) * Retrieve my stuff from storage. * Hire and ghoul a priest. **Find out who I am** I want to delve deeper into the nature of the Shadow. Seeing a pit into a literal Hell has also been unsettling. What is true of religions' supernatural claims and how does being a Lasombra fit into this? * Get to know my shadow-cat. * Having studied Church literature, draw conclusions and speak to religious figures. [[setting/Khadijah]] might put me in touch with an Imam who is in the know. * I finished reading the Latin-language book about the Umbra that I obtained from Magister Binnion.
