Zyta Ceres

Zyta Ceres, who typically just goes by "Z", was born in south Florida in 1972, and raised between Miami, where she lived with her mother, and San Augustin, where her father lived after the divorce in 1975. By the time she was ten, she was interested in Goth music, and embraced the whole scene before she was in High School, where she also began studying Wicca and Ceremonial Magic, becoming a competent Hedge-Witch by the time she graduated. She moved to San Augustin, both to live closer to her father and to study magic with a coven of witches in Vermont Heights. When the Tremere came to the Old City in 1996, Z's grasp of magic - through the medium of modern technology - attracted the attention of Shaye Falcon who almost immediately invited her to study with the Chantry. She became Shaye's ghoul in 1997, and was embraced just after the destruction of the Chantry and the disolution of the Tremere hierarchy and strict rules.
She remains a public figure among the local pagan communities and in the club scene, particularly in the Goth clubs, where she is seen as an older mentor figure, and something of a local celebrity. In the wake of the, relatively recent, political upheavals, Z has become focused on gaining Status in San Augustin's Kindred society.

Stories

• Reverse Engineering for Beginners

  • Z approaches the Coterie individually and as a group, in an attempt to gauge their interest in a return of the Camarilla, hopefully without playing her hand.

• Challenge Land

  • Z invites the Coterie to solve a handful of problems plaguing the city, in an attempt to measure their competence and perhaps drive home the need for the Camarilla.

• Hopper's Roppers Security Training

  • Z tasks the Coterie with beefing up their personal security and to help with the security of San Augustin - both for its own sake and to give herself an avenue of control.

• Seedlabs

  • Z asks the Coterie to perform a series of simple, seemingly unrelated tasks which are designed to undermine the power structures in San Augustin and help pave the way for a Camarilla incursion.

• TryHackMe

  • Z begins bringing in new Kindred, helping them establish themselves and positioning herself for a position of power. If the Coterie has been amenable, she may enlist their aid.

• Exploit Exercises

  • Z and the new Camarilla begin making their play for San Augustin. Their aim to make this as bloodless as possible, but they are playing for keeps. If the Coterie has been helpful, they may be allowed to join the Camarilla, and maybe even position themselves in seats of power.

• Backdoor

  • With the return of the Camarilla, Z and the new Kindred begin to weed out the undesirables, which they see as a threat to the stability of the city. No Kindred who is known to participate in the ousting of The Master and his loyalists will be allowed to remain, but all will be allowed the opportunity to flee the city before the bloodhunt is called.
