The image shows a Mediterranean Caucasian man in his forties. He is wearing a dark grey three-piece suit with white pinstripes and a blue-grey tie. He also has a Tau cross around his neck, over his white shirt. His hair is dark and parted in curtains on either side of his head. His hands are in front of his waist and he is toying with a ring on his smallest right finger. He is smiling cruelly, his tongue pressing into one of his fangs. He has a mischievous look in his piercing golden-coloured eyes. The image shows his name as Marcello Tafani. The image has a quote: "Ruthlessness. It runs in our blood but it is a gift, not a bane. This world will destroy you if you show even the slightest weakness but we have a defence against it! I would almost call it a mercy..."

With a stronger will to deal with the darkness and violence of Kindred society, it's Tasha that steps in for Cara when the pair can no longer keep a low profile. Their relationship has become quite... blurry for them over time.

The image shows a white woman in her thirties. She's wearing a smart, light beige-yellow blouse with a brown-grey suit jacket and trousers.

The image shows her name to be Tasha Spencer. The image has a quote: "Come on. There is no use in getting nervous now. Are you going to leave to find a pigeon on the street? No. It's too late for that." The image also shows the title of the book series - The Chronicles of Nottingham - and the logo for the shop it is available from - Storytellers vault.

One of Nottingham's resident Malkavians, Cara likes to keep a low profile when she can and stay out of the way when she can't. She takes an almost immediate shine to Alethea on her arrival, coming to her rescue when things get tough...

The image shows a white woman who's age is hard to gauge. She's wearing loose blue jeans and a My Chemical Romance hoodie, with the hood up over dirty blonde hair which is very messy.

The image has a quote: "I know this isn't real. It's a name, a face and a voice. To make it all make sense. It's me, it's Tasha, it's the beast..."

After surviving unlife beneath the boot of the Camarilla, Ruben has taken full advantage of the Anarch rule of Nottingham to chase what he wants and make a name for himself. Whether he can handle the pressure remains to be seen.

The elder Ventrue Tyra is far too old to be getting involved with Kindred politics these days, but she still has some care for her own business, which remains thriving. In Alethea she sees an opportunity to keep things running smoothly. What could possibly go wrong?

After a little bit of a break, the next character up is the Baron's lieutenant (and Enthralledyet's favourite), Isolde. She tends to grate on others with her clinical approach to Kindred affairs, but she knows how the game is played.
