'''Mister Skitz''' runs the Thirteenth Cammorae, a dangerous crew who scar themselves ritually as they make the obligatory Blood Oath. While everyone takes care of their own problems as much as possible, these guys are getting reputations as bag men and hard hitters, not to mention some of the only people tough enough to muscle commands on the Inferno. | '''Mister Skitz''' runs the Thirteenth Cammorae, a dangerous crew who scar themselves ritually as they make the obligatory Blood Oath.

− | =====Vorhee===== | + | =====Vorhee===== The Vorhee have extensive operations in Baroque, mainly in armsdealing and designer drugs. They are also perhaps the biggest orgainsed player in the prostitution business, where they'll offer anything as loose trade. Vory captains, however, are a disorganised, fractious lot, each vying for power and respect, happily poaching each others best men and most profitable business', smiling as they trade blood for blood. |
− | The | + | The only thing preventing civil war and keeping the Cammorae off their backs is Masha Voyevoda and her company of former Spetsnaz killers. While she isn't exactly in charge, it is she the other captains go to when a deal must be struck, and more often than not, she forces both parties to the bargaining table sooner rather than later. She also seems to have the subtle support of the Mask known as Streetwalker, who ha so far kept players like Mister Skitz and the Red Queen off her back. |
− | + | Unlike the Jade Mirror, however, she is seen as weak by the Cammorae, her holdings a perfect acquisition for their devouring maws. Recently, every day is a struggle for for Masha, and soon she will need to deliver a very clear message that she has what it takes. The only question is whetehr she actually does. | |

According to the story, Vince became the Made Man of all made men. He can't be hurt by bullets. He can cook people with his brain. He can hurl trucks. He can even make robots that look just like him so he can be in more than once place at a time. | According to the story, Vince became the Made Man of all made men. He can't be hurt by bullets.

This is a huge loss of face, and if the man exists, he is surely busy. Everybody in Baroque has met a guy who claims to have met the guy.

So you shrug, say it is just a story and get on with business. But sometimes, when an old time mobster looks too confident at a meet, and he whsipers to his consigliari, you're sure you hear the name 'Vincent Lorenzo'... |

The Jade Mirror would be just such a man... if he were a man. It is agreed by everyone that he isn't. What he is, that is open to debate. His gang, the Spiders (technically, the Lung Te Hsien-ch'üan), terrify everybody in Little Asia with a weird terror mixed with pride, but for the rest of Baroque, simple terror usually suffices. |

It's the reddest of Red Light districts. Drug dens, bordellos, brothels, strip clubs, flophouses and underground fight clubs. The antithesis of the Carrivagio Quarter, here is where the rich and poor meet, each providing what theu always ofer each other. Anything goes here, and cops know better than to set foot here. However, some of the establishments are quietly watched over by either JSS or the Brujah. |
