Prince

Status: 5

Current Prince:

A Prince is the undisputed master of a given domain's vampires. A Prince is served by a number of Officials who keep order in their Domain.

Primogen

Status: 4

Current Primogen:

Carthian Movement: Vacant

Circle of the Crone: Vacant

Invictus: Vacant

Lancea Sanctum: Vacant

Ordo Dracul: See Below'

Primogen is primarily an elder in good standing within the community. Though, Primogen may represent their individual Covenant, not every covenant has a place on the council. If there are too few individuals of a covenant in a given domain or a certain covenant is out of favor with the Prince, they may be denied a place on council.

Seneschal

Status: 4

Current Seneschal: Vacant

The Seneschal is the Prince's right hand and is tasked with looking after the day-to-day operations of the domain, keeping track of the Prince's interests, schedule, appointments, screening inquaries, etc. In cases that the Prince is absent from Court, the Seneschal is expected to acts as the Prince in Proxy.

Herald

Status: 4

Current Herald: Vacant

The Herald is appointed by the Prince and includes the more mundane activities such as posting decrees, making unimportant announcements, and alerting others for newly scheduled Court appearances. The Herald answers to the Seneschal in all things unless ordered otherwise by the Prince, and likewise may speak in Proxy for them both when necessary.

Prisci

Status: 3

Current Prisci:

Daeva: Vacant

Gangrel: Vacant

Mekhet: Vacant

Nosferatu: Vacant

Ventrue: Vacant

A Priscus (or Prisci in plural) is the informal leader of a clan within a Domain. This position is generally not an official one in the Prince's governmental structure: a Priscus is not appointed by the Prince. Rather the position arises organically within the political power structure of a given clan. A certain elder gains power and prestige, gathers and bestows favors and has the power to enforce her edicts upon others of her clan. Other clan members give her respect and fear her enough such that she becomes clan leader both de facto and, for all intents, at least within the clan, de jure.

Sheriff

Status: 3

Current Sheriff:

The Sheriff enforces the laws of the Prince over a given domain. This includes but is not limited to investigating, interrogating, and concluding the laws which have been broken and deciding whether or not to bring the criminal before the Prince. The Sheriff cares out all sentencing handed down by the Prince, and is the first person that should be notified when the Masquerade is breached. The Sheriff assigns Deputies in order to help him or her in keeping the peace.

Hounds

Status: 2

Current Hounds:

Whips

Status: 2

Current Whips:

Daeva: Vacant

Gangrel: Vacant

Mekhet: Vacant

Nosferatu: Vacant

Ventrue: Vacant

A Whip is a largely informal position. They are responsible for pushing their clanmates to present a unified front on major issues and for all members of their clan to have a voice in local issues. The Whip tends to be a leadership figure, but in a different way than the Priscus. Whereas a Priscus leads via status and presentation, the Whip is usually seen as a bully and taskmaster, pushing their clan to attend Court, vote on issues if need be, and other similar functions. They are something of an assistant to the standing Priscus, and will usually only exist when there are large numbers of a given clan. Clans with smaller populations are less likely to have or need Whips, as their Prisci can typically perform the functions a Whip would without disrupting her nightly routine.

Harpy

Status: 3

Current Harpy:

Unusual in that it is both an official and unofficial position, the Harpy is, at its simplest level, a member of the "Kindred elite". Harpies represent a who’s who of Kindred affairs, the celebrities and fad-starters. Other Kindred look to Harpies to see who’s in and who’s out, and what positions and opinions are popular this season. A well-known Harpy can sway public opinion faster with a biting comment than some Princes can with a solid decree.

Usually, one becomes a Harpy by just playing the part and socializing with other Kindred. (Also, they are usually Praxis Status 2, but due to the rarity of this type of interaction and political intrigue in the recent months, they have been given a bonus/raise.

Keeper of Elysium

Status: 3

Keeper of Elysium: Kailash Patel

The Master of Elysium is in charge of the upkeep and inspection of all Elysium within the City. S/he is given authority, by edict of the Prince, to travel to all Elysium locations within the city and is given unprecedented access to all clan and covenant haunts. He is also the only person within the city to have the right to strip Status (even the last level) from anyone who breaks the rules of nonviolence.
