Seattle’s vampire politics just got bloody again. Benny Muldoon, the Camarilla Sheriff, has gone rogue — and both sides of Seattle’s undead society want a piece of him. If you’re trying to uncover the mystery behind the strange mark on Phyre’s hand and stay in the Prince’s good books, this confrontation is inevitable.
Only problem? Katsumi, the Thin-Blood Anarch leader, wants Benny just as badly as Prince Ryong does — and she’s not exactly one for diplomacy. What you decide here will tilt your relationship toward one faction and freeze out the other.
🩸 Siding with Katsumi (The Anarchs)
If you let Katsumi handle Benny, her crew will take him away — permanently. She’ll thank you for letting her deliver justice her own way and invite you to the Anarch hideout, The Hole in the Wall. From that point on, you’ll be on friendlier terms with the Anarchs.
Back at Weaver Tower, Prince Ryong won’t be thrilled. Still, she lets you stay in Seattle — and surprisingly, she promotes you to fill Benny’s now-vacant role as Sheriff. Your Masquerade slip-up gets swept under the rug, but your standing with the Camarilla? Let’s just say you’ll be sitting at the unpopular table for a while.
🦇 Siding with Ryong (The Camarilla)
Turning Benny over to Ryong earns you brownie points with the Camarilla. Katsumi won’t like it — she’ll throw some verbal fangs your way — but she won’t attack you or completely sever ties. You’ll still be welcome at the Hole in the Wall later if you want to smooth things over.
Ryong, on the other hand, is very pleased. She deals with Benny according to Camarilla law (translation: he’s toast) and rewards you by naming you Seattle’s new Sheriff. It’s a clean win for the Camarilla and a power move for you.
⚖️ Does the Choice Matter?
Not as much as you’d expect. The story continues regardless, and you still end up wearing the Sheriff’s badge either way. The main difference lies in who likes you more — the rebels or the royals — and which doors might open down the line.
So in classic Masquerade fashion, it’s not about saving the world… it’s about who you piss off least while trying to survive it.
