Motivations

 In a lot of ways Shiri goes against the stereotypes for a Gangrel. Of all of the clan heads in Philly they come the closest to "playing the game" in a way typical to areas where the Invictus and the Lancea et Sanctum have greater sway. This is a reflection of their having been brought into their Requiem by a member of the Lancea et Sanctum of the Dammitic Creed, and that they spent the early years of their Requiem as part of that covenant.

 They're shrewd, observant, and far more subtle than they often let on, but also much more interested in the benefits of their requiem and enjoyment of their unlife than they are in the wielding of power. They use their position as Sagamore for the Gangrel clan more as a way to help ensure as little as possible interferes with their personal business, more than out of a desire to wield power over others. The current regime serves them very well in this, so they support it enthusiastically.

 On the other hand, people who threaten the stability of their unlife are handled harshly, quickly, and usually in ways nobody will suspect of them.

 Anyone who hasn't made an enemy of Shiri is typically treated with kindness and patience.

NPC Opinions

• Banan Mac Lochlainn - You don't even seem to like your covenant. You're a shining example of the sunk cost fallacy, and I wish you would finally see it.
• Clara Rodriguez - I swear that if you don't stop hiding things in my office just to scare me I'm going to make you suffer.
• Ejaita Okorafor - Have you ever taken a break in your entire life? You're the only person I've ever met more organized than I am.
• Saagochque - The monster and the mother seem to be at constant battle inside you, and this is all only going to last until one wins. I'd better have my plans in place by then.
• Sora Kan - Why do you know so many artists before I do? You don't even care about art!

• Floretta Williams - I honestly didn't expect Saagochque's family nonsense to make me feel like any of you were actually family. A pleasant surprise!
