San Francisco Vampire Territory

The vampire territory of San Francisco is comprised of five noble gentils, the Hals gentil, Lamar gentil, Schmitt gentil, Artiglio gentil and the Hartman gentil.

The shaman boun a Bear Spirit to Lawrence Ward giving him the strength to fight, and kill, the vampire. Lawerence chased the three across the country, until settling into San Francisco, CA. The vampire sent for their progeny and created a small army to defeat Lawrence. Thoguh they managed to defeat him, the bear spirit leaped into the body of another, and resumed trying to kill them.

The cycle continued, until the three of them had become the progenitors of all the vampires within the San Francisco bay area.

Eloise would meet a young, powerful with by the name of Betty Jean and the two would become allies. The which would prepare a ritual as a favor freezing the possessor of the Bear Spirit in time, and preventing the bear from being reincarnated again.
