Hopper’s "Nighthawks" also comes to mind when thinking of the city we’ve built for "Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2".
Our Seattle is more complex, filled with more different characters, and backstories, but still - all sharing that same quiet ache and loneliness beneath the neon lights...

You’ll hear plenty of gorgeously grungy guitars in our upcoming title "Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2". Set in Seattle, birthplace of that sound - and home to the Crocodile Café, where Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Soundgarden once played.

Roy Olmstead - a real Seattle police officer - turned to bootlegging during the Prohibition era. He used bribery instead of violence, ran a very sophisticated operation, dressed impeccably, and was known as "The Good Bootlegger". Seems like a Ventrue, no?

Fine; I will be a king. Shesh.

I’m never going to live down the accusations.
Ventrue Ventrue vampires usually choose their progeny from mortals familiar with power, wealth and influence. Seeing themselves as the rightful leaders of vampire society, Kindred of clan Ventrue take up the mantle of leadership wherever possible, often in the form of high positions in Camarilla Courts.

Banu Haqim.
Not bad since I've been wanting to be an Assamite in game since forever. No lies though, that recently Lasombra trailer has me having a hard time with which clan to start with.
A visual of a hooded vampire that hails from clan Banu Haqim in the game Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2, represented with their Clan Symbol and their three vampiric disciplines.
