Overview
Alias(es): Dawn Halliwell, The Dusk Crusader
Real Name: Dawn Kane
Apparent Age: Late Twenties to Early Thirties
Concept: Biker Gang Queen
Physical description: Dawn is a muscular, pale woman standing 5'11", short black hair with shaved sides. Dawn is visibly and unapologetically low in her Humanity, flaunting an openly primal and predatory nature.
Dawn is heavily tattooed. Those designs visible, depending on the outfit worn, include:
-A black swan on the back of her neck.
-The insignia of a biker gang (fame x2) known as the Knights of Dusk tattooed over her heart.
-The Ivory Legion crest on her right shoulder.
-A full sleeve down her right arm, with designs involving chains, a large snarling tiger, roses, and plenty of fire. A design of a pistol has been added on the underside of the right wrist with the word "Equitas" written on the barrel.
-The left arm and shoulder is sleeved a tangle of Celtic knotwork with emerald green flames. By the wrist is a matching pistol to the right arm, with the word "Veritas".
-A full color design of a sleeping dragon under a cloudy night has been tattooed over her upper back. If looked in the dark after the skin was exposed to light, there are lightning bolts that appear glowing in the clouds.
-Her left leg appears to have a continuation of the Celtic designs on her arm - it can be easily surmised that they likely go down the left side of her torso as well.
-Her right leg is wrapped in more chains with roses blooming from them as though they were flower stems. Behind the chains are images of deserts and large sand worms. Spiraling down her leg is the Litany of Fear from Dune, highlighted with a blue backing glow to make them pop. Like the lightning bolts in the dragon tattoo, the backing around the Litany of Fear glows in the dark.

Character Information
Dawn is a brash, violent, impatient and often flippant die-hard supporter of the Camarilla. Often describing herself as a "grunt" for the Ivory Tower, Dawn generally scoffs at the more social aspects of the Tower's structure, believing that its not the world where she belongs. She instead haunts the battle lines where the Camarilla and its enemies draw closest, "fighting in the trenches so the politicians and the artisans don't have to."
Though in human society she runs a number of criminal enterprises, to the Tower she is a soldier to the core, and will not hesitate to throw herself into dangerous situations to defend the Camarilla's interests. She is frequently seen in the middle of the fight, drawing attention away from others with a spiked chain in one hand and a hand-cannon revolver in the other. When the situation allows, she fights while riding a motorcycle, capitalizing both on the mobility and the attention the loud engine draws her way.
Known History
Before her embrace in 1996, Dawn was the co-leader of a biker gang with her husband Warren. While small, the gang made a name for itself with a sort of Robin Hood attitude, supporting the homeless population with their various gains. They were also among the first biker gangs to begin the trend of showing up to court cases for matters of child abuse, protecting the kids from having to interact with their abusers outside the courthouse. While the gang's name has long since changed, Dawn still seems to maintain this philosophy with the humans she commands.
She doesn't talk about the night of her Embrace to many people, but what is known is that her Sire embraced both her and Warren in the same night, and it is believed that neither of them would have survived the night had he not done so.
Dawn went through her accounting with Warren in Knoxville, with both of them becoming acknowledged after several years. The Clan Primogen (their Sire) held a party in honor of the couples' success, but the party turned bloody when Sabbat attacked the bar where the party was being held. Warren, it turned out, had betrayed the Sect in favor of joining the Sabbat, and had leaked the location of the party so that the rebels could attack it. Warren left with the Sabbat, leaving Dawn badly injured and their sire dead.
Dawn spent a number of years in Knoxville after this, hoping to clear her name of the stigma attached to it through her estranged husband's actions. Eventually she decided to pack up and leave, moving north to the Twin Cities where she was welcomed into the Domain before eventually moving further north to settle in the Domain of Duluth.
Dawn has served in various positions between the Minnesota Domains, having served as Sheriff of both the Twin Cities and Duluth at various times, Scourge of the Duluth Domain, and even a brief period as Seneschal of the Twin Cities for a time when the Domain was facing a multitude of dangerous threats. However, Dawn's dedication to her work in the Ivory Legion forces her to travel often, which kept her from settling in a single Domain for more than a year or two until recently, when Dawn reached the rank of Legion Centurion and decided to establish a base of operations in the Duluth Domain. She resides there now, assisting the Domain, the Legion, and the Tower alike while keeping hawkish vigilance for any sign of her traitorous ex husband, venomously promising to kill him on sight.

Rumors
- The reason she still goes by Kane instead of defaulting to her Maiden Name is because she still loves Warren, even though she won't admit it.
- She hates Anarchs more than the Sabbat.
- There's no way that someone who revels in violence and chaos as much as she does is really as die-hard a Camarilla Loyalist as she says... right?
- She dreams of becoming an Archon someday.
- Is she raising a tiger?
