Character Information

Known History

Niko was released from his accounting around 1400 and received his Camarilla Acknowledgement in 1753 at the same time his Sire received hers. He was Acknowledged by his Sire's Sire's Sire in a visit to his homeland for that purpose. He and Thea decided that this new sect, the Camarilla provided opportunities that otherwise might be missed. They have been members since.

Coterie

In 2009, Niko sent a series of emails to several famous and influential (not to be confused with *Famous and *Influential) members of the Camarilla and suggested that they begin working together. He proposed that they form a group that would use their rather large amount of leverage in society to help protect the Camarilla and the Masquerade. When this group works together they are capable of not only shutting down a city's mortal connections but of using those connections to the betterment of the sect to which they all belong. "If you have a problem, if no-one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the Consortium."
