The Camarilla Court of Indianapolis

In life, Dr. Sutherland was a DaVinci - good at just about everything. He was the family doctor to the Ball family of Muncie and learned from their innovations. After the Embrace, he was instrumental in the rise of the Eli Lilly corporation. It is said that watching the movie, “the Matrix” he laughed at the scene with the red and blue pills and declared “they actually get it!” He can fix any problem. He can read your mind. He is surprisingly chill for a guy with that much status.

It is unknown how soon Mr. Binford came to Indianapolis, but like all Ventrue, he is very family oriented. He came from England by way of the colony of Maryland to old Kentucky – and from there founded a sprawling dynasty. His descendant “Tom” Binford helped bring both the Pacers and the Colts to Indianapolis and served as Marshal of the Indy 500. His descendent “Jim” Binford was instrumental in providing the seed capital for Colonel Eli Lilly. And his descendant David Binford helped bring both Salesforce and GenCon to Indianapolis behind the scenes. He has his fingers in every pie. 

 His art forms are jazz, modern dance, and he helped fund and create an Indianapolis R&B sound. He played an instrumental part (pun intended) in creating the Arts District and the Indiana Avenue community. He is more Toreador than you. He can sing, he can dance, he’s unbelievable on the sax. And he wants to know YOUR story. He’s the Herald!  Just don't let the charm fool you or you'll end up without your wallet, your pants, and your status.

Don’t let the name fool you, she is a member of the Miami tribe and a direct descendent of the famous Little Turtle. She shapeshifts into a black panther but does not enjoy Wakanda Forever jokes. Her family was involved in the movement of her tribe to Oklahoma and other places. She didn’t go. Behind the scenes, the Binford family might have wound up with an unreasonably large share of the land. That’s an old story in Indiana, isn’t it? She helped in the creation of the Monon Trail and every urban wilderness area in greater Indy. If she is looking for you, good luck escaping. 

A member of House Tremere as well as Clan Tremere. A 33rd degree Mason. He knows the secret extra degrees, too. There are four Elysium areas in Indy: the Eiteljorg Museum, the Walker Center, the Scottish Rite Cathedral, and White River State Park. He was the architect for three of them. The fourth is a park. Who says Masons don’t build things anymore? Make friends with him and he can show you secret ways into Elysium. But don’t trust him more than you’d trust any other Tremere 

  Pete Pierpont is known to the world as a man who helped John Dillinger bust into banks and out of prisons. The world thinks he got the chair. Clan Nosferatu tricked the world. Since death, he helped innovate the fastest race cars in the world. He’s still into guns and explosives, too. They say he was a nice guy before the head injury. Being embraced by the Nosferatu hasn’t made him less grumpy. The good news is he isn’t allowed to kill you unless you forget to talk to the Prince.

An early supporter of Madam CJ Walker and her businesses, the Ku Klux Klan tried to murder him near Vicksburg, Mississippi. The world thinks he’s dead. He’s not dead, but his politics crystallized at that moment. Out of respect for his friend, Catie Fontaine, the Black Panther Party never came to Indianapolis. Mr. McDaniel will ensure that it never needs to. 

She was Embraced Hecata after having a distinguished career as a suffragette. Later in life, she became a quiet supporter of the Spiritualist movement. Having friends on the other side is normal for the Hecata family, and boy has she got one: Colonel Eli Lilly.
