As much as Vampires fear each other, most fear the living far more. In the same way a lion avoids prey in herds that can trample them in a stampede, the damned must be mindful of how their actions might provoke their mortal kine. In the wake of the Blood Hunts and the veritable end of the Masquerade, Kindred must be more cautious than ever in their dealings with mortals. It may not be necessary to pretend that they themselves live all the time, but even the lowliest mortal is a near-insurmountable enemy at noon. Mortals pose a unique danger to the damned. What they lack in supernatural powers, they make up for in numbers, familiarity with their own world, and the ability to walk under the cleansing light of the sun.
Despite Kindred's best efforts, it's almost impossible not to make enemies in the duration of an eternal life. The Anarchs of New Orleans are no different than any other. In their efforts, they have scorned and alienated the living. And some of those they have scorned wield power over the city and thus its undead inhabitants. These mortals, given the right circumstances, are as dangerous as any Elder if left unchecked and may pose a unique threat in the coming nights.
