==== Plans ==== ---- Long term strategy ---- **Vengeance** I want to avenge the destruction of my Sire. I believe that Archbishop [[setting/Malfalda Fiore]] is responsible. * Develop a working relationshipThe 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 [[setting/Gaston Lebrun]]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 the TremereI should see my own reputation restored first. * Vengeance! PossiblyBuild 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-focused component. **Set up a business** I want to establish a business intelligence / corporate espionage business as a source of revenue. With my current level of income, it should run a profit of $6000/month to have a comfortable Ventrue lifestlye. * Cierra is willing to invest in exchange for a favour. She needs to see it as being in her interest. * Join the Guild of Investigators. * Hire a secretary by asking another secretary. Use [[setting/Elisabeth-Maria Holstein]] to ask about the Empire State secretaries that are in the know. * Hire a forensic accountant from ex cops. Find out why they are ex. **Keep Peter Ingolf on side.** [[setting/Peter Ingolf]] is paying the assassins to not kill me yet. I would like to keep it that way. * [[setting/Peter Ingolf]] may be heading to Buenos Aires, in Sabbat activities arranged by Ventrue primogen [[setting/Jacqueline Calloway]] aftercontrolled territory. I need to be prepared for this eventuality and have learned Spanish. * I have prepared an extensively researched dossier about London politics and the Sabbat in London for [[setting/Peter Ingolf]]. * [[setting/Zhenya]] has retrieved several archival folders with my Sire's chronological activity logs, which include actions undertaken to maintain the masquerade in England and track Sabbat movements. I will make a copy for [[setting/Peter Ingolf]], along with a report of what has occurred. **Restore the [[setting/Church of Our Lady of Kovno]]** * Having obtained the legal deed, I contacted legal expertise from Cierra to acquire title to the foundation that owns the Church. When I return I should make sure I have taken 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 recommended by [[setting/Kenneth Forbes]]a Lasombra fit into this? * Get to know my shadow-cat. * Become a trainerHaving 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. ((Storyteller gib info plz)) **Unsorted** Various other objectives that do not fit with any long term goal. These should be frowned upon from the point of view of efficiency. * Police Contact (work out) * Go shopping for the Camarillaa new tuxedo. * Utilise compromat on 2 politicians in New York. * Brief [[setting/Polishchuk Yevgeniy|Zhenya]] on need-to-know matters and try to teach him Disciplines. * Lead a combat team. I will be responsible for Masquerade violations by the teamJersey. ---- Regular activities ---- ^^ Day ^^ Early Evening ^^ Training ^^ Night ^^ Training || || Monday || Monitor Street Crime as blackmail targets or hints for police. ||Contacts/Allies/Resources.
