Concept: Man Behind the Man
Nature: Capitalist
Demeanor: Judge
Morality: Humanity 5
Clan: Ventrue
Sect: Anarchs
Titles: Sweeper
Physical Appearance:
In contrast to most of her sect, but very in line with her clan, Lauren dresses in a smart, conservative manner. She has black hair that kept in a short ponytail, unnervingly blue eyes, and she wears the same set of diamond stud earings and diamond necklace with every outfit. Just enough effort is put into her appearance to show her wealth and taste, without having to waste any extra time on it.
Personality:
In life, Lauren was raised to climb the corporate latter, no matter the cost, and in unlife she continues this desire. While she is able to put on a smile and be witty and charming when needed, she is happy to drop the facade when it is no longer needed. This suited her in the Camarilla, but she finds herself at odds with most of her fellow Anarchs.
Her position means that she must put that smile on more than she'd like, but it's a necessary cost to act as the advisor to the Baron. Bored with the minutiae of ruling, she's become adept at giving a word of advise while reporting the happening of the Sect. Where he handles the constant threats of warfare, she is able to handle to logistical and administrative requirements of the sect, an arrangement she is quite happy with for the time being.

Biography:
Born into a family of corporate elite, Lauren Blake was always destined to rise the ranks and excell in the world of business. And sure enough, in her early thirties she was already the CEO of a successful international shipping company, with fingers in enterprises ranging from real estate to car manufacturing.
How exactly she caught the attention of her sire was never made clear to her, given that shipping doesn't exactly attract fame to those looking from the outside, but one night she met a man who was already waiting for her in her penthouse. He stopped her from calling the police, explained that he was a vampire and that she had already been approved by the Prince, and bit her on the neck. She thought she was going to die that night, murdered by a violent delusional psychopath. And she was right, but not as expected.
When she awoke with new powers, she was thrilled rather than confused and frightened as most fledglings are. She was in a brave new world, and she would conquer it as she had all the other worlds of business and finance before her. Unfortunately for her, the positions were already filled by Kindred with her same drive, and hundreds of years of experience. The only chance for advancement came from the final death of one above her, making for slow progress. Too slow for her taste. And so when she learned of the Anarch Movement, it wasn't ideological support that moved her. Instead, it was merely the prospect of advancing and finally ruling.
The Anarchs are unruly, to be sure, and a group that she doesn't fit in with. However, the opportunities the new sect offers more than makes up for any discomfort they create.

Backgrounds:
Contacts: 4
Though Lauren has fallen out of touch with global captains of industry since her embrace, she remains in contact with many businesses in Oddhaven, which are eager to please her and earn her advise based on reputation alone. Further, despite defecting, she has blackmail on a couple image-concious Ventrue on the up-and-up, and can learn of Camarilla happenings, within reason.
Domain: 4 (size 1, security 3)
Blake lives in as opulent an apartment building as can be found on Bright Shore, keeping near the Anarch leadership. Such a nice building in such a rough area naturally has security measures, which she has added to extensively, ranging from security cameras, to guards, to outright traps.
Haven: 5 (Guards, Location, Luxury, Security, Staff)
Though officially she lives in just one apartment room, she controls the entire top floor of an opulent building that exists to spite the poorer community surrounding it. Other residents are either ghouled and dominated to serve as her guards, or simply dominated to serve as her slaves.
Guards- 5 rating 1 ghouls, all specialized in Brawl
Guards- 5 rating 1 ghouls, all specialized in Brawl
Herd: 3
The same mortals that dote on her in her haven serve as her feeding stock. Each was hand-selected, as she discretely got the names of people fired from her contacts, dominated them, and had them begin renting a room on her floor to serve her.
