[Dietrich Schäfer]

Abilities:

• Psychic Projection (Germanic Race): 
  
  Background (actual ability below): It has been increasingly noted (at least by some experts) that vampires, even born vampires, can have a statistically significant tenancy to share basic qualities (physical, cultural, and psychological) of the humans that share similar origins. Some have theorized that this may be a combination of similar geographical origins and, perhaps more importantly, evidence that significant vampiric influence has taken place in the very genetic make up of some of the human races (please note races as in, Anglo-Saxons, Germanics, Scandinavian, Celtic Gauls (French), Semitic, Nordic, Nilotic, Bantu and similarly broken up tribally/historically/geographicalyl/culturally relevant races, not white, black, oriental "races" ). Similarly, there are certain 'abilities' that appear to be more prevalent in the different races, many of which bolster the mindset of the human/vampiric origin; those who are less sensitive about former human, vampiric relations have speculated that vampires may have, in addition to breeding characteristics into pet lines, may have systematically released bred qualities into free human populations, in effect increasing the likelihood of adding quality pets without having to maintain the massive numbers of humans that would be otherwise required to maintain healthy breeding stock (not unlike the old west practice of enjoying the ability to go out and catch a good quality wild horse, without having had to provide for and maintain the entire herd it came from). The Germanic people have maintained a tenancy towards loyalty, dedication to established order, and a warrior mindset over the centuries, likewise, Dietrich's physic ability is one that coincides strongly 
  
  The ability: Dietrich, unknowingly gives off a psychic aura at varying degrees dependent upon his mood, and what is going on around him. This psychic projection of his will bolsters in others a sense of unity through purpose, and a loyalty to established leaders (established in the mind of the person regardless of why the individual is identified as a leader) in most situations, especially political. When serious conflicts arise, a need to establish order (most quickly done through dominance), and the urge to protect and defend the order and those that stand for it are bolstered by his aura. It is arguable that this ability may have been fostered in human pets and slaves to help bolster these same core Germanic values in those serving the clan, a useful talent to have in mass. Of course this ability is far less powerful, and impossible to actively control in a human (where similar powers issued from a vampiric psyche or inspired by lycan pheremones would be much more direct and in the case of the former, certainly controlled by the user). His ability also does not effect who a person sees as a leader, or as an established maintainer of order, it only can take what of these instincts and dispositions a person has and intensify them. This ability affect all races (humans, lycans, and vampires).

Weaknesses:

• Political/: 
  
  His direct nature, and formal tenancies can put Dietrich at a disadvantage in most parts of the United Sates, especially 'softer' states where people can seem duplicitous, untrustworthy, and shallow to those of his cultural upbringing, while he can come across as rude and aloof (though nothing could be further from the truth by his cultural norms). He is aware of the cultural difference and is working towards compensating for them, but he is only willing and able to go so far. 
• Deportation: 
  
  Dietrich is and intends to always remain a German citizen, as Germany has very few exceptions to not allowing dual citizenship, he therefore cannot, nor will he ever become a US citizen, nor willingly serve another country in any military function (as non-compulsorily military service to another nation forfeits German citizenship) . Though, being German, he has devoutly filled out, filed and maintained all his legal papers meticulously, he could face deportation if one had the means and motive to get rid of him. Since he is not a diplomatic representative of his own country to the United States, but rather is paid to serve such a role between the human and vampiric interests of the country, he is not afforded diplomatic immunity at any level.

Skills:

• Multilingual:
  
   Dietrich currently speaks German, French, and English fluidly.
• Debate:
  
  Germans are notorious for their perseverance (stubbornness), skill, and even enjoyment of debates. Dietrich is no exception, being willing and eager to talk out any point of contention (though he is unlikely to yield or give up on his convictions it doesn't mean the debate can't be profitable and enjoyable).
• Tactician:
  
  Dietrich comes from a long line of military men, and his current family comprise for many current or retired service men (and women) in the German armed forces. Tactical thinking is not just a part of his blood, it was heavily prevalent in his upbringing, and has been as substantial boon in his dealings in the political realm of vampiric, human integration in parts of Europe. He has become adept in knowing what he needs to put in place to move others towards a common goal or way of thinking... Of course time will only tell if this will make it through the cultural barriers and differing attitudes he is encountering in America (the red tape is hardly a problem, American paperwork is a joke compared to what is required back home... though admittedly American offices seem to 'lose' more papers in a week then any good German would dare throughout the whole of his career).

[Dietrich Schäfer]

Personality:

(American perspective-initial impressions in "softer" cultured areas of the States) Serious, Stubborn, Confrontational (sometimes), Aloof, Rude, Elitist, no nonsense

(Actual Personality) Patient, Honest, Loyal, Friendly Compartmentalized (distinctly separates different aspects of his life), Proud, Patriotic, Organized, Devoted, Family oriented, Sexually openminded.


It is difficult to say how Dietrich will come across to any given American. Those that are aware of German tenancies (and the accent leaves no room for question as to where he comes from ) will readily identify his personality separate from cultural differences. Given the German tenancy to compartmentalize life (i.e. work time is for work not small talk, play time is for play), and to take establishing 'friendship' seriously (Germans on average tend to have more 'close friends' then Americans but strikingly fewer 'acquaintances' and never intermingle the term 'friend' with the more casual American meanings the word can take on) Dietrich may come across as disinterested in socializing or being unfriendly to those that try to interact with him at the wrong time (while he is working for example), or who have high expectations of immediate familiarity (such as being offended by his use of their last name, thinking he should invite them over to his place of residence as soon as he has met them). To those, however, who apply less pressure, are less socially sensitive, or catch him at the right times, it will become clear that Dietrich is actually a very patient, and genuinely helpful man, who relishes the chance to assist others in their personal success. To those that become his friends, while they will still face his unfiltered honesty (perhaps more so as his cultural guard will go down more often when he is with friends), but his words will not be used with an intention of hurting or insulting, and he will above all else be unshakably loyal (mind you though rules are rules to the Germans), and actively devoted to growing and maintaining the relationship.

Work as a Representative of Vampiric Interests

• Early Career:
  
  Dietrich began his early career as an intern, mostly observing and learning.  As relations with vampires (aside from purely high standing, select political heads) had not been undertaken all that long before his involvement, Dietrich did not remain in this position long.  With still much to learn, he quickly was elevated for a position as a go between, often carrying out the duties of his superiors with lower ranking vampires, or clan level members.  His genuine interest and sensitivity to the unique culture presented among the vampirics ensured that Dietrich was often taken along with his superiors to more important functions, and succeeded in giving Dietrich the opportunity to establish himself more quickly in the affairs of higher political relations between humans and vampries than he otherwise might have. 
  
  
• Germany 
  
  
  • Citizenship:
    
    Dietrich was a big proponent, not only in establishing the full citizenship of vampires, but in also offering clearer and more relevant guidelines specific to vampires who desired such citizenship. 
    
    
  • Economic considerations:
    
    Dietrich worked with many vampiric 'business owners' to both establish their rights of ownership (of established human businesses), and to legalize and outline reasonable laws and restrictions with law makers in regards to 'vampiric businesses' (ie such as the selling of blood supplying services, or non-lethal hunting prey for hire ).  Further more, while many human business owners could see for themselves the value in hiring vampires for various jobs or night shifts, being Germany it was important that laws regarding fair employment practices be put into place.
    
    
  • Military
    
    One of the matters closest to his heart as the offspring of two long lines of military involvement and pride.  Dietrich fought fiercely to get hesitant politicians to not only open military involvement for ' non-human' races, but to see to it that high positions could be obtained, and that a branch specifically saw to the best incorporation and use of these various races and the strengths they had to offer, as well as to best see to the accommodations they would need.
    
    
  • Societal Integration
    
    
    A join effort to educate citizens, teach inclusion, and to ensure that vampires honored human social norms, but that vampiric culture and propriety was also upheld as much as human society was able. This aspect of his job required the most persuasion and debating back and forth as Dietrich found himself having to 'argue' with both sides as to what allowances had to be made, and often this meant telling one side or the other 'they simply can not... '
    
    
  • Politics
    
    Vampires now enjoy equal say in political decisions as their human counter parts.  There are political offices specifically intending to deal with additional needs vampires may have (such as clan 'district' management ), but anything that is not exclusive to vampiric need is incorporated in the same system as other citizens.  Further more, Dietrich has made a point to ensure that vampires can run for various political offices (not all of them, he's not a miracle worker after all ). In fact he was key in working towards having himself replaced in his former political position (of representing Vampmiric interests )  in Germany with a very capable vampire under the premise that, though he loved his job, it only made sense that a vampire would take the position once one was ready and able to do so.
  
  
  
• Austria
  
  
  • His work in Austria was far more limited.   Here he mostly worked as a consultant to help the Austrian vampiric and human governments hammer out the details, giving advice on what worked in Germany, and what had not.  He was also key in assisting in the implementation of the laws that the Austrians had already agreed to put in place. 
  
  
• France
  
  
  • Similar to his work in Austria, most of Dietrich's work consisted of the implementation of the laws that were already decided on by the government of the time. However, Dietrich found the country a bit more lacking in its education of the people.  It also seemed to be far less organized (in his mind anyway ) in the way it incorporated the use of the vampirics in the military. 
  
  
  
• Work with Other 'Races'
  
  
  • Lycan:
    
    A proponent of lycan rights, in Germany Dietrich was often involved in assisting those appointed to their representation in coming up with reasonable accommodations for the race, as well as in navigating the political and societal obstacles to put these accommodations in place. 
    
    
  • Dhamipire: 
    
    Initially Dhampire rights were lumped in with vampiric rights (as dictated by human policy). However, once Dietrich had enough influence to do so, Dietrich fought to have the two issues dealt with separately, given the vast difference in the the needs of vampires and the mixed race population.

Familial Relations

• Odila Schimdt - Maternal Grandmother
  
  Of all the thrifty and resourceful adults in his life, his "Oma Schimdt" taught Dietrich the most about making use of what he has at his disposal and to be thankful for what he has. Having grown up in communist ruled, East Germany, she was often strict and no nonsense.  Still, family has always been very important to Odila, and she made a point to teach all of her grandchildren about family tradition. Sometimes Dietrich is concerned with what her opinion on various matters will be, as she can tend to seem rather 'old fashioned' at times; however he has no doubt of her continued affection.  
  
  
• Ambros Schäfer - Paternal Grandfather
  
  One might expect the former military man to be gruff and cold, however Ambros has always tended towards more gentlemanly behavior.  Dietrich doesn't really remember his Mother's Father well, as the older male had passed when Dietrich had still been a very young child. As such "Opa Schäfer" is the only grandfather figure he's really known.  Despite still being in service as a high ranking official, the elder Schäfer has always made time to spend time with all his grandchildren. Dietrich holds a great deal of respect for his grandfather. He was the family member he was most reluctant to share his desire in career in, as military service is a long standing tradition in the family. He was rather surprised by the other's not only accepting but also fully supporting his decision, stating that the tradition of defending the honor of the fatherland was not only undertaken in battle. 
  
  
• Fritzi Schäfer - Paternal Grandmother
  
  A former nurse in the medical corps, "Oma Fritzi" is a composed and proper lady.  She is the more progressive thinking, and open minded of Dietrich's oldest family members.  She, like Dietrich's mother's mother has often made a point to keep the younger members of the family well versed in family history. It is from her that Dietrich learned the importance of accepting the bad parts of the past in order to learn from it. Something she knew well enough, having had an Uncle that served as a member of the Gestapo.  She was the first of his grandparents that he tends to approach when needing advice on something he is unsure of, especially from a moral perspective.  
  
  
• Gottwald Schäfer - Father
  
  Between being away while on active duty, and having multiple siblings to vie for their father's attention has made Dietrich's one on one time with his father pretty limited.  Still, there is no resentment on his part, as he has always been proud of what his what his father dedicated his life too.  Dietrich, much like many sons, tends to measure himself against his father, mostly in his character and resolve to stand up for what he believes to be right.  Their relationship is a comfortable one, though not overly warm and affectionate. 
  
  
• Ninja Schäfer - Mother
  
  An organized and driven woman. Ninja handled the juggling of three young boys and a girl well. She instilled a sense of responsibility in her children, and was the parent they were most accustomed to seeing.  Dietrich often tried to keep from getting too underfoot, especially after his sister was born, concerned for all the work she did.  Dietrich feels most comfortable with discussing his personal life, as well as his professional one.  Unbeknownst to Dietrich, she has begun to suspect a certain 'attachment' forming between her son and a vampire of high standing he has mentioned a bit more often and with markedly more respect and admiration than any of the others.  
  
  
• Augustus Schäfer - Eldest Brother
  
  Augustus has always been a commanding presence in his life.  As the eldest of the boys, he often attempted to take charge of his younger siblings whenever it was necessary, and help their mother maintain order.  Dietrich holds nothing but the deepest respect for the most disciplined of his siblings.  In their father's absence, Augustus has often stepped in to help teach his brothers about becoming young men, and was particularly supportive of his youngest brother.  The two remain relatively close to this day, despite Augustus' service in the Luftwaffe, and attending to his own, young fang family. 
  
  
  • Klara Schäfer - Sister-in-law
    
  • Antja Schäfer - Niece
  • Ludwig Schäfer - Nephew
  
  
• Karsten Schäfer - Elder Brother (older twin of Konrad)
  
  Along with Konrad, Karsten was often in the habit of causing mischief, and encouraging Dietrich to go along with them in getting into trouble.  Karsten has settled down considerably as he has gotten older and has a family of his own to attend to.  Karsten has settled into a nice, fond relationship with his youngest brother, looking back on the trouble they got into with a sort of fond nostalgia, that Dietrich does tend to share, even if Karsten and Konrad were pretty much always the instigators. 
  
  
  • Viktoria Schäfer - Sister-in-law
  • Gilbert Schäfer - Nephew
  
  
  
• Konrad Schäfer - Elder Brother (younger twin of Karsten)
  
  The second youngest of the boys, and for a long time the smallest of his older siblings, Konrad has always seemed to make it a point to be the typical teasing, tormenting older brother to Dietrich.  Little has changed, despite his brother's elevation to the largest of the Schäfer men.  He delights in giving his younger brother a hard time, especially in regards to how serious he can be, or teasing him about any potential love interest.  Still, Dietrich has no doubt his brother would do just about anything for him... well anything other than stop annoying him. 
  
  
• Emma Schäfer - Younger Sister
  
  His only younger sibling, and only sister, Dietrich, like his other brothers, is incredibly protective of his younger sister.  She, for her part, tends to give Dietrich a hard time, and is the most likely to tease him about not going into one of the armed forces.  Still, she has often come to him for advice in her personal life, as he is the brother that is easiest to reach, and Dietrich tends to understand those sort of things better than the other brothers (or at least he communicates his understanding better ) .

[Dietrich Schäfer]

Background

Born to a heavily militaristic family, Dietrich Schäfer, is a proud, devoted citizen of the "Fatherland", Germany. His German/Prussian line has included men that served in many of Germany's major wars, including both world wars, a handful of the wars that were later dubbed the 'Wars of Unification, and the Napoleonic wars. He has even been told they can they can trace their mother's military line back to a soldier that fought in the Thirty Years war (1618-1648 ). Dietrich, understandably came to develop a particular fondness for the history of his country, especially when it comes to the military, of which he is a devote supporter. After all, when one grows up hearing of heroic acts one ones ancestors, one does tend to take a greater vested interest in the past.

In his more immediate family, is no exception to the tradition, many of his kin in varying branches of the Bundeswehr (Federal Defence Force).
On hi s mother's side the tenancy was towards service in the Marine branceh, and later the Marineflieger (Naval Air Force). His second oldest brothers (a set of twins) follows this tradition, while his eldest brother, on the other hand has followed the more modern traditions of his father's side and joined the Luftwaffe (air force). Originally men of the Heer (Army) prior to aerial combata, his younger sister is nearly old enough to join the military, and is considering a career in the army. Dietrich is the one, and only child between his parents to not serve the military in some fashion, and is often given a hard time because of it. It's all in good fun however, as his family has been supportive of his goals and interests.

Brief History

The youngest born of four boys, and fourth child out of five, the first six years of Dietrich's life saw him as the baby of the family. This, of course didn't mean he was about to get away with anything, growing up, not only in a German home, but was also the son of a high ranking officer in the Luftwaffe. Dietrich, like all the children of his family, dedicated himself devoutly to his studies. Initially he, must like the rest of his family had imagined the he himself would one day become a soldier.

His path in life seemed certain, except perhaps that he never really did choose which branch of the military he would join. This, however changed around his sixteenth year. It was about then that people were beginning to become aware of vampires and lycans. Dietrich was immediately fascinated to think that an entire society lived right under their noses, and not just in Germany, but apparently around the world. Effort to reconcile the vampiric world to the human world began much more quickly in Germany than in America, and he was quick to interject himself into the system. He took an immediate interest in vampiric, human relations in his youth, finding vampires (and lycans for that matter) fascinating. Their cultural practices were reminiscent of many of the older human cultures, and it seemed unlikely to him that this was a coincidence. Since little was known about the vampiric society at the time, with a little influence from a few high ranking military family members and their political friends, Dietrich found a way to jump start his career as a skilled liaison to the vampiric community, and the regional lycan tribes.

Studying, and observing the vampiric culture was his basis for much of his work in ensuring a mutual understanding that honored and accommodated all involved while, as is vastly important, maintaining higher order. Dietrich was one of the keep proponents of legislature that dictated Vampiric royalty (which is a bit more complicated to follow than human royalty ) be observed with the same reverence human nobility would expect, as well as many of the other accommodations made so that vampires were afforded the same rights, protections, and luxuries of their human counterparts, while observing and respecting established vampric society. Once he was confident matters in Germany were settled enough to be left to other hands, he then moved on to consult and assist in similar efforts, first in Austria (which wasn't far behind Germany anyway), and then in France.

To be sure, he was surprised to be contacted by the born high council member Klaus Brauer. The German ancient, wanted him go to the US to assist in less than ideal situations with their vampiric community. What could he do but except? This especially became apparent when the other helped expedite his moving to the US. His place was to be in District three primarily, with some additional work to be done with occasional visits, consultations, and follow up with the others. After he actually got to the US and really saw the state of things in the country, he half expected this was stipulated by some human on the American side if Klaus expressed the likelihood of his displeasure that the country was so cut up and spars in its minimal tolerance of the clans. (Truthfully he was half ready to turn right back around and go home between this and other practices he has learned of in the country.

Dietrich has sense settled into his place in an apartment complex outside of the clan compounds. Given the vast differences not only in his cultural upbringing, but also in just the situation he has found the vampire/human relations in in general, he is pleased to at least know he is working under someone who has a better understanding of the situation in America. Arron Williams, the liaison he is to 'assist' the majority of his time, is someone he is curious to meet; though he has his reservations about speaking with the man about his the finer points of arrangements between the vampires and humans here, what the liaisons' have thus far accomplished, and what their current and long term goals are. Hopefully he won't offend the older man, but it is what it is.

On Site Relations

Aubrey St. Jude:

• The favored pet of Clanmistress Sarin Borakiev, Dietrich's exposure to the owned human is pretty limited, as the Clanmistress forbids most others from looking at her pet.  Still, the has gleaned that Aubrey is a dedicated, content slave. 

Gunnar Helgison:

• He has been asked by Klaus Brauer to covertly check on the status of this Clanmaster when he goes to interview him. This would suggest a close relationship between the two, but what that is, he doesn't know.  In any case, this certainly wouldn't be the first time that he became aware of information that was not meant to be shared.  

Helena Persephone:

• He has heard that the clan formerly belonging to Thea has been taken over by a new Clanmistress.  Hopefully this one has more sense then her predecessor. 

Joseph M. LeBeau:

• After the death of his former superior, this man apparently is taking his place.  

Kailen Donovan:

• His neighbor, that has quickly become better acquainted with him than he initially planned.  Despite his efforts to maintain a proper 'neighborly' relationship long enough for the pair of them to become acquainted with one another in such a role, he has been drawn in time and time again by Kailen's appeal. The American male is a bit more forward than he would have expected, and yet he also seems quite genuine and straightforward. 
  
  
• While they have been 'enjoying' one another for quite some time, it is starting to occur to Dietrich that they might be heading down a much more serious road than he initially thought.  His caring for Kailen may just be turning into something much more.  His choice in disclosing his involvement with Klaus Brauer seems to have been an especially wise one. Now the only course of action seems to be to test the waters to see if the other male might be agreeable.

Klaus Brauer:

• He was surprised to find that "Herr Brauer" had come to America, more surprising though was the route their meeting took.  It seems that he has long been considered to be the German ancient's pet.  Odd that he didn't take exception to this, and instead finds himself eagerly accepting such a position.  Klaus, for his part, is willing, and seemingly supportive of him continuing his livelihood, and has not required him alter his living arrangements. Furthermore, he doesn't seem to mind the idea of Dietrich continuing to enjoy relationships with other humans; however, Dietrich knows better than to assume this carries over with vampires.  In all his work with vampires, he has yet to see a case where it was acceptable for a vampire to feed off another's pet unless specifically invited to do so, or in the case of bonded pairs or sometimes not yet physically matured offspring. 

Lex Gallagher:

• A neighbor from another floor. He doesn't really know much about Lex, or even his name. This is simply the guy who apparently felt it was appropriate to handle his underwear. 

Maggie MacCailin:

• His first acquaintance in coming to the states.  Dietrich quickly came to think of Maggie as a friend, and as family of sorts.  He has made a point to involve his lycan neighbor in his holiday celebrations and continues to find her delightful to be around. 

Sarin Borakiev:

• The child vampire seems calculating, thoughtful, and if experience is any indication, easy to be brought to anger.  Dietrich can't help that sometimes his pulse quickens in the vampire that is only a child in appearance, having nearly lost a limb to a child vampire in the past. Still, she seems pleasant enough, and her desires fairly straight forward, even if Dietrich knows that with any high ranking vampire, there is always more going on then is let on. 

Vesperes Van Hasselt:

• He has yet to meet the man reported to be the new Kaiser of District 3; however, having reviewed the facts and finding that the man in question is the former Kaiser of District 1, he contacted the human liaison there to see what he could find out.  Apparently the ancient vampire is Prussian, and quite a handful. 

Zeo DiPaulo

• Dietrich finds Clanmaster DiPaulo easy to like.  The clearly business oriented vampire, while obviously far too old to be completely forthcoming with all of his emotions (as the older a vampire gets the more he/she seems to value discretion ), his seemingly risk/reward oriented mindset is one the German can understand.  He has also gotten the sense that, while likely to be a demanding sort, Master DiPaulo may be a rather fair minded vampire.  

Gunnar Helgison:

• A newer Clanmaster, Dietrich has heard the name before.  Being a former member of the High Council, it was certainly Dietrich's business to be aware of the other's existence, though he had never really worked with him before.  He has been asked to pay close mind to sign of this man's well being when meeting with him.  The request,  being made by High Councilman Klaus Brauer, implies something more meaningful between the pair then simply being co-councilmen.

  • Mistress Borakiev seems to be a Clanmistress that takes great pride in her presentation of herself and in propriety, and shows a marked preference towards older forms of said propriety.  While there is the additional risk of emotional outbursts, she seems willing to inform possible offenders prior to the situation coming up.  Mistress Borakiev is no doubt a vampire that is likely to be very set in her demands, and therefore likely to offer opposition to oppression and be unlikely to accept relocation.  It is most likely a bad idea to involve this particular Clanmistress in any efforts to encourage human civilian support.

• Notes:
  
  
  • Master DiPaulo seems to be a fairly straightforward man. Business minded, and likely highly tactical in his political endeavours, he could be a valuable asset in reform, but likely also a vampire most likely to offer organized resistance to oppression (with preferences towards subtlety as long as it may be maintained).  His willingness to be relocated is not yet discernible, but it is likely quite low. Of the Clanleaders, he is the most prevalent in the human community, and is apparently quite popular.

[Dietrich Schäfer]

Current (Site) History

• Arrival in America was immediately eventful with the meeting of a neighbor in his apartment building, a seemingly nice girl by the name of Maggie MaCailin. Of less pleasant, but more important note, Dietrich also met with his superior, Mr. Aaron Williams.  The other man seems polite, but grossly uninformed for someone serving in the position he is in.  Further more, he appears to be unwilling to disclose any of his own opinions or views  on matters regarding their work, and frustratingly offers no hints as to how he might like Dietrich to conduct his own business. Fortunately he has been given a great deal of freedom to exercise his position as he sees fit (while reporting back when appropriate ) so at least one of them can get to work on getting things accomplished. 
  
  
• The initial meetings with the first two clanleaders has gone relatively well.  Master DiPaulo seems like a reasonable man that he can easily relate to, at least in so far as a mortal can relate to a vampire.  Clanmistress Borakiev, while seeming to be a bit higher maintenance, also shows signs of willingness to work with him.  Something disturbing has come of this however. Dietrich has learned that apparently the separate 'penal system' of which his superior was unable to go into detail with him, is one that declares immediate execution of a vampire for any crime outside of clanterritory. This is an unsettling scenario to say the least, and makes the urgency of what is going on in the district that much more clear. 
  
  
• His social life became complicated unexpectedly with the arrival of a new neighbor on the floor he and Maggie   The man in question, one Kailen Donovan, has some how managed to circumvent his dedication to getting to know his neighbor as a neighbor on multiple occasions, in favor of a rather carnal 'getting to know one another' technique.  Perhaps stranger yet is the fact that, despite the Irish American's ability to break through his discipline, and the seemingly purely physical relationship such a pattern would usually initiate for any two people, they have made a great deal of progress in becoming friends. 
  
  
• High Councilman Klaus Brauer has arrived in America, unannounced.  His call had certainly been a pleasant sort of surprise, as Dietrich has always had a particularly strong sense of respect and admiration for the ancient Germanic vampire.  Additionally Klaus is a vampire whose presence he has found to be consistently enjoyable, and the man himself is easy to become fond of.  Klaus, however, had a bit more in store for him then a mere meeting to talk shop and get reacquainted.  On this night, Dietrich not only became aware of Klaus' apparent claim on him, the pair also made the relationship 'official' as it were.  Klaus, has made it clear that he wants Dietrich to continue on with business as usual, which the German is quite certain shouldn't be a problem with him. Discretion has been advised however, given the delicate nature of the current political atmosphere.
