Known History

Embraced less than 20 years ago, Katherine Kennedy-McKenna makes her home in the Midwest. She is the acting VP of Mercurial Towers, and spends a great deal of her time devoted to helping the human population, through charitable and business endeavors.

No stranger to politics, Kate was embraced into power, with her sire at the reigns of the Gem of Chicago. Kate herself remained in the background, spending time around the formidable First Family and once-mortal members of her human family, including her uncle Peter and even the “Butcher” himself. She felt it was her duty to keep them human, and for a time she accomplished this goal. Maintaining a strong mortal identity, Kate married a mortal philanthropist, Wilhelm McKenna-Rahl, whose international business interests she now controls in his absence.

After helping to orchestrate more than one praxis following her own sire’s disappearance, Kate eventually assumed the position of Seneschal in the now-defunct domain of Champaign-Urbana. The domain, as well as Kate’s political intentions, were rife with controversy. Constantly shedding and regaining status for her unpopular beliefs, Kate disappeared from the domain shortly before its destruction.

Resurfacing occasionally in the Kindred world, Kate returned to Chicago to continue her work at the mortal-run Mercurial Towers, but kept a low profile up until recently. She currently occupies the position of Keeper in Milwaukee, where she plans to open a satellite office of her husband’s biotechnology firm.

Kate has yet to turn down anyone who has come to her for aid. Perhaps this, and her apparently genuine desire to help others, is what leads her to have allies in the strangest places. Though she professes to be a devout Catholic, much of her personal philosophy is riddled with animism and other shamanistic ideas unfamiliar to most Westerners. She places the highest regard on human life, and believes that vampires are nothing more than people who have forgotten their connection to humanity. She has taken it upon herself to remind them, in ways that are sometimes gentle and other times outright confrontational. The “Mother Theresa” of vampires, Katherine Kennedy is out to save the human world, and God be damned if other Kindred get in her way.

People have a bad habit of disappearing around Kate. Her mortal parents, her sire, a husband, even a few lovers. Cold fusion generators make great disposal units, especially since almost no one believes they exist…
