Editing Demon: Berlin (section)

===NPC Demons and Rings===
The Aristocrats<br>
This is a group of conservative Demons, most of whom have resided in Berlin for decades if not longer. Currently meets at Salon Kitty, in the Unterwelt room.
Noted members:

    Kitty herself, madam of Salon Kitty. AKA "Frau Muse" (Mrs Muse)
    Katja, a girl who works at Salon Kitty, and who seems to be Russian. AKA "Fraulein Wolf" (Miss Wolf)
    Markus Brechlein, defence contractor and war veteran. AKA "Achilles"
    Hubert Schneider, physicist and rocket scientist, recently returned from a lengthy stay in the USA. AKA "Heimdall".



The Bureaucrats<br>
These Demons are mostly younger, and mostly Fell during the war. They are also conservative, intensely paranoid, and fearful of change. Most of them have invested heavily in building up the GDR as a survival mechanism for Demons and the world. As such, they have taken sides in mortal politics to an unusual extent, having infiltrated the GDR government and especially the Staatsicherheit/Ministry for State Security, where they have created their own division, called Abteilung S (Division S). The S stands for Schwarz (black), or Sonder (special), or Satan -- nobody knows for sure. But they've built up their own army of fanatical cultists and Stigmatics who consider themselves the revolutionary vanguard -- the "Sword and Shield of the Party", as the Stasi motto says. They use Gadgets as spy gear and think the voices in their head come from tiny implanted radio transmitters. The Demons of the Abteilung use their troops and Embeds ruthlessly in the service of balance; keeping their tiny, strategically vital, painfully artificial country balanced between the imperialists in the West and the Stalinists in the East -- both slaves of the Weltmaschine.
Some noteworthy Abteilung members:

    Horst Brandsessel, master interrogator, cult-leader, propagandist. AKA Herr Kommissar (Mr. Commissar)
    Ulrike Meineke, researcher, creator of Gadgets, archivist. AKA Fraulein Hammer (Miss Hammer)
    Karsten Reichert, chief of operations, occasional assassin, negotiator with the Aristocrats. AKA Herr Eisen (Mr. Iron)



The Anarchists<br>
Mostly located in West Berlin, this group is more free-floating, composed of some Demons who live here full-time, some Demons who are just visiting to take advantage of the scene, and some freedom-minded Demons who are trying to create Hell within the walls by sheer force of will and charisma. They're not as close-knit as the first two factions and are really made up of multiple Rings which tolerate and trust each other to varying degrees. It's the closest thing to an Agency Berlin has right now -- the Aristocrats are too self-absorbed and focused on their own interests to pay much attention to the average Demon, and the Bureaucrats are supremely focused on the East and mostly look at West Berlin as a threat to be managed. The name "Anarchist" only really refers to Karl Marek's politics -- it's also a sarcastic reference to the lack of leadership or operational security.

    Karl Marek, the supposed leader -- one of the older Demons in the city, he firmly believes in the power of anarchism and hopes to realize it in West Berlin, both for the young mortal kids he attracts to himself, and for the Demons of the city. AKA Herr Feuer (Mr. Fire)
    Siegfried, last name unknown, raging alcoholic who has slept on every park bench in Berlin. Constantly burning through, and patching up, his Cover, taking bits of sad stories from other drunks in exchange for enough good luck to get them through the week. Has no discernable politics, fiercely loyal to Marek, and said to have been a formidable Guardian back in his Angel days. AKA Herr Hose (Mr. Pants)
    John Shoemaker, British journalist and decadent. An unpleasant fellow, but an honest broker who's helped many of Berlin's Unchained find new Covers, and sent more than one newly Fallen Demon to see the Kid to get oriented to life in Berlin.
    Claudette Dupres, French fashion designer who's opened a shop on the Ku'Damm and invested heavily in restaurants and night clubs. She believes that West Berlin is about to become devastatingly fashionable, since human love to visit in dangerous places, and she plans to be ready. She's said to have good connections to the city's occultists and even claims to have a vampire lover. AKA Fraulein Laterne, "Miss Lantern". 

There's more Demons around, to be sure, but every Demon who's been in town for more than a few weeks knows something about these guys. They let their Covers be known more than is wise, in exchange for positions of trust and influence in Unchained society.
