==In recent nights==
Rafael Monroe, one of Hartford’s older residents from 60 years ago, has now returned. Before leaving he was thought to be obscenely close to his sire, and some would say too close. Some happened to be right. His return brought bitter tears and memories to the abandoned Elsa Linden. Her childe, who disappeared with not so much as a letter or word, still exists. <br>
+
For some reason most have a hard time keeping track of this kindred, even remembering his name can be difficult at times.  
All these years she had thought her childe dead, lost to the brutal nights that claim so many kindred.<br>
+
The barely known kindred seemingly has made his mark officially inheriting the Praxis of Westchester, NY.
Rafael was back now as if from the dead, and living by alias. For some reason he was reluctant to reach out to his sire, unable to let her know he had returned to the city of his second birth. He lived out the nights, keeping to himself and trying not to draw the attention of others from his kind. <br>
 
  
He would eventually begin to surface later in the year 2011 at the local Gatherings in Hartford. He became acquainted, and later friends, with Primogen James Norton. When asked about his art-form, Rafael replied, “I am a dancer”. Norton  officially introduced him to the city powers shortly after, with Monroe keeping his lineage quiet for the time being. <br>

Months later, the same night  he first met with Prince Anya,  Rafael met one of his brood-mates, Amelia. Amelia pegged who he was from the descriptions her sire had given in a tale of her lost love. She had been embraced shortly after Rafael’s disappearance. It was safe to say that then, after being spotted by his new sister, mummy knew that Rafael had returned to Hartford. <br>
 
  
Time went by uneventfully until May 2012, when Elsa showed up at one of the gatherings, angry and tired of waiting for Rafael to return to her. While she was relieved to see him, “pleased” would be a hard word to further describe her emotions. She was pissed. Her scorn for his abandonment was hard not to wear on her sleeve, and she buried it deep to avoid an embarrassing display of public emotion among the kindred of the city. Later that evening he finally did catch an earful. <br>
 
Upon seeing her again he was overwhelmed with relief. It quelled his fear that she was in danger. Other emotions, much older ones stirred back in his soul as well. One look at her reminded him of everything that once was, a simpler time without the emptiness and numbness. He had memories of nights where anything was possible, and everything had meaning. His time away had been rough, and is something he never speaks of. <br>
 
 
While he was now reunited with his sire, he had been keeping tabs on her for months. He avoided getting too close and tipping her off to his presence. Rafael and the ones he loved were always being hunted by a powerful enemy, his twin brother, who has taken the name Knives. Knives is presumed to be a member of the Rebellion. His personal hobby is to destroy everything Rafael loves. It was only a month before Rafael came back to his sire that he put Knives in a box, delivering him personally to Prince Anya. <br>
 
On the same night that sire and childe were finally reunited, a painting had been stolen from Sebastian Han’s Elysium by anarchs. This violation of elysium was the straw that broke the camel’s back. After all Elsa had been Patron to the artist whose painting was stolen. Rafael would later catch an extra dose of her contempt, as she was already in a “mood”. <br>
 
After a private emotional exchange later that night between them, she was overwhelmed. Seeing the childe that she had thought was lost again after so very long stirred a whirlwind of emotion. As much as she loved him, she couldn’t  just let him step back into her life like he never left. She couldn’t just open up again to be hurt by the one who abandoned her. A lady of 241 years old must keep some sort of composure and not lose her mind to emotion. After all, she is the Elder of Clan Toreador in the North East Region. <br>
 
 
Knives most successful attack on Rafael was now obvious, driving him away from his sire, and killing them both inside. A hat trick. After putting the young ancillae in place that evening, Elsa proceeded to trample his heart, much like how she felt when she was abandoned all those years ago. She could not understand why he had left her in such a manner, refusing to believe that he had done it  for her own protection. For all the power she possesses it was inconceivable for her to imagine herself as a potential victim of Knives or his villainy. If she only knew Knives. <br>
 
She excused herself from the gathering, leaving Rafael on his own. He would now have to prove himself worthy of her once more. He would later find that her forgiveness came at a price.  At a more recent gathering and yet another private meeting, he learned the price he will have to pay. <br>
