The former Prince of Chicago and his Chief Assassin have awoken over one hundred years after their deaths.

They recall few details from their part lives but do remember a number of generalities. They were sired by the same Vampire, a man from the old world who called himself Gregor. He created them at the same time, around 1750, but he had been in the area since at least 1700. He trained them to work together and taught them many skills and powers. He set them up as the Prince of Chicago in 1833 as the town was founded. They ruled for some time together, one seen and the other unknown. They nominated Lincoln in 1860, survived the great fire in 1871, oversaw the construction of the first skyscraper in 1885. The memories are hazy, however. They are punctuated by drama and violence, but names and motivations are hard to recall. Sometime after 1890, perhaps one or two years, darkness envelops them.

After rising they were greeted by Leopold, a cemetery groundskeeper, who stated his family had been watching over you for three generations.

They were brought to a temporary haven where Rosalyn, a capable instructor, has spent several months helping you transition to the modern world. She advised them that the city currently has no Prince, but is ruled by a Council of Elders.

They have just begun to venture out into these modern nights and reclaim what was taken from them...
