Sylvia Raines

Clan: Mehket
Covenant: Lancea Sanctum

Sylvia may be Chicago’s foremost scholar of Theban Sorcery — light years ahead of the most advanced fundamentalist. While her renown protects her and gives her the credibility to openly criticize the Bishop, her renown also (ironically) limits her. As the only Kindred in Chicago known to have access to the highest rank of ritual, any use of those rites is likely to turn curious eyes in her direction. She uses her power to fuck with the fundies, but she can’t use it at its highest levels without crossing the line and painting a target on her chest. Lacking Solomon’s forceful personality, Sylvia is a scholar and a mentor, but she is no inspiring leader.

Nevertheless, she is as deeply committed to the principles of the Testament of Longinus as her rival. She just believes in a more nuanced faith.
