St. Louis. Gateway to the West isn't just a nickname, you know. Whoever controls St. Louis, controls most of the ways to get to the Western half of the States. Which is why it's a Camarilla stronghold, why the Anarchs are fighting so hard to retake it, and why the Sabbat are massing just across the River. St. Louis is on the verge of becoming an outright warzone, and even the mortal masses are starting to notice.
Which is where you come in. Things are getting a little too noisy, and technology has advanced too quickly for the existing Kindred to keep up. The Camarilla needs people with the contacts, skills, and knowledge to counter these new risks to the Masquerade, and your sire has decided that you have just the skills needed. Lucky you.
