[@pugbutter] So, Dark is looking at making a thin-blood alchemist. Assuming you're okay with my idea to intro your character, I've got a pretty solid foundation as setting up the group as essentially outcasts that are put up with because the local prince really can't afford to dismiss anything that even vaguely resembles a resource, no matter how weird they are, as long as they don't threaten the masquerade.

So, what 'role' (for lack of a better term) would you ventrue be filling?
