NPCs of Mage
(Now divided into the two groups of Tradition Bigwigs, Technofags and then by city/region for ease of reference.
Tradition Bigwigs
Hermitics
Of the six members of Dirtfort surviving at the end of The Movie, half are from the Order of Hermes, including the core of the hallowed Team Fireball. As a result, the Hermitics probably have the most influence overall on the chantry's movements.
Lucio Sao Salvadore - HO CALDWELL. AND LITTLE MISS CALDWELL. Former Pharos of Abkazia Chantry Master. Replaced by Rachel Auriol.
Edric Hontanat. Ren Dynler's master. Eccentric.
Vincent Caldwell A Master of House Bonisagus and Mentor and uncle to Marilia Caldwell. Murdered during a magic dual, he was subsequently resurrected after his soul passed through the gauntlet during Team Fireball's first, confusing, mission. In cahoots with Noldos Vayne before Vayne's death. His death was directly caused by tainted Tass provided to him (through intermediaries, including Marillia and Ren) by the Verbena adjudicator of the Certamen... corrupted by a Nephandus who managed to penetrate the Chantry. It is very possible this was the same Nephandus who went to so much trouble to seize Catherine West and attempt to get one of the Japanese Umbrood to do away with her on the basis of being a self-proclaimed enemy of Caldwell.
Josephine Mordant - The Magistatus of Jove of House Quaesitor and Mentor to Cara, who swore her into the House, and the closest thing to family the Cabal's Quaesitor has. She gave a flower to Cara during her childhood after viewing her future. The flower allowed Cara to defeat the Wilder Luss, a far superior Mage. Supported Cara in the events involving Tom One-Eagle in Winnipeg with the Council.
Noldos Vayne - Poor fellow who lost his soul to Lucius in a partial embrace. Committed suicide in a last ditch spit in the face of Lucius while giving his location away to Cara via Hedge Magic. A confederate of Master Caldwell in researching the Crown of Gilgamesh, having seized it with Cladwell from a Iraqi partisan who was 'quite a killer of americans'. Had an apprentice that briefly was on the seen in Vancouver but vanished.
Alexandra Solaimani Hermetic Lara Croft
Chorus
Rachel Auriol - Replaced Salvadore as Chantry Master of the Pharos of Abkazia. A Choristor brought in to bring some moral spine to the chantry due to a sense of the place becoming corrupt. Hundreds of years old, supposedly a former French nun, and big on the old rules. A Tradition traditionalist one might say.
Akashics
Influenced the cabal to the end of Season 2 - Tia was an Akashic; Kana had an Akashic weapon and is still the reincarnation of a major one.
Master Kenshin Takezo - Died to deliver Kana from Technocratic tentacles in an early episode. His influence lingered until the katana empowered by his Mikoto-the-Cat pin was destroyed.
Nakazawa Takumi - Shu Izanagi's cabal shota a hundred and fifty years ago. He is now an old man and still stuck with his little kid name. Played Go with Miho once last century and got his ass kicked. Kicks modern Shu's ass at martial arts and beat Kana at Go.
- Kobayashi Masao - Proud 20-something mahjong hotshot. Proved not so hot a shot against Haruho Artaria-Jurai and her serial Rinshan Kaihou during the south round.
Virtual Adepts
Contingent 10 - They don't fuck around.
Kiyoshi Nakamura - He doesn't fuck around either.
Euthanatos
The Euthanatos has had a significant impact on both Team Fireball and recently Team Japan. With two of the cast being from this Tradition it is expected the Deathmages will have a interesting impact into the series.
Dimitri Sotiris - A member of the Chalice grooming Westin for promotion.
Adept Parvashita - A stern faced Indian (a REAL Indian) woman. Was present at Master Caldwell's "death" but vanished before Mordant could question her. Turned up at Cape Cod breaking into the Caldwell estate having suspected Master Caldwell was seeking to circumvent the Great Wheel. Pity she was nearly burned to death by Mari. Carried on Cara's back she survive due to the Cara's bravery in such (and Mari's first aide). Proved that turning into a cat like a snake doesn't help.
Kim Vachon- Euthanatos Master infiltrating Chicago Chinatown's Nephandi. Is not a ray of condensed sunshine. Loves onyx almost as much as Mari does. Probably has way more money than the entire chantry combined. Probably the hottest Master-level mage we've met so far.
Kevin Gallagher- Celtic Euthanatos death-mage with a magic sword. Died from a truck to the face keeping Cara alive. May get his vengeance from the grave in the form of his blade, with Derek recovered after his death.
Sons of Ether
Captain Percival Dory - The gentlemanly wooer of Catherine and also lent Kana his pocketknife. Recieved Edwardian schooling and has spent decades, not all that he actually lived, traveling all through the Ether.
Professor Konstantin Marakov - Specialist in psionics and artificial intelligence, and mentor to Derek. Cleared Derek's mind of Technocracy programming, and helped him get a start as a Scientist.
Technofags
Iteration X
Apthalon - ItX cyber-hunter, out to chase down renegades. Like Reynolds. Not having shown up in the story for quite a few episodes, fans are speculating whether the upcoming run on the net will feature his return. Showed up in Season 3 to nearly stymie Team Correspondence's train escape using a plasma cannon larger than he is. Current kill count: One Russian Missile Train and one PC. Last seen tumbling off into the darkness on the internet with clawing Betas surrounding him, which means he is almost certainly going to be back.
Nimrod - Even Kana would tell you the chantry lacks the genres necessary to manage a team of hardsuit girls. The team exchanged one lost hardsuit to 3 lost Chantry members, which may or may not be favourable depending on perspective.
Charles Starborn - Codename "Castar". Iterator who isn't too busy making money to blow up Traditions magi. Drinks coffee nonchalantly while chantries burn. Current progress in sabotaging Technocratic operations: 6 dead MiB (4 veteran), 1 senior operative, 1 combat operative, 1 heavily damaged Construct, 1 valuable intelligence resource, and a whole lot of sleeper personnel in exchange for a single dead Trad mage, which according to some sources is approximately the exchange rate he requires to break even. On the other hand, he permanently destroyed the main tradition chantry in Chicago and undid years of trad work in the area, so he's still winning.
New World Order
Amy Lee - Woman in Black who was out to capture Kana and maybe still is; either way, they'll meet again. Last seen in the Spy's Demise Windy City, bending Akashics to her own ends. In former times she was the student of Takezo Kenshin and is now considered an infamous traitor.
Black Coat - Some midlevel MiB caught smuggling a bottle loli. Punches way over his magickal weight. Has a pistol that can shut down Correspondence effects within a wide tactical area.
Nameless Man In Black #610 - Badass Man in Black who stood in front of Westin emptying an entire magazine with only a cinematic scratch to show for it. Didn't help much though, because he ate a rocket to the face immediately after. However, he managed to sacrifice himself to keep his buddies alive from the rocket hit. May he rest in peace, as a worthy foe. Possibly caused Mari to botch as revenge from beyond the grave.
Syndicate
John Kerrin - Syndicate VPO, formerly administrated Chicago Technocratic Ops. Was too busy making billions of dollars to really do more offensive action than troll Traditions webforums as "SugarDaddy$$". Sadly global economic downturns meant that he was replaced by Charles Starborn. Has proven himself to be a magnificent bastard above and beyond magnificent bastards.
Eli Havelock - Syndicate high up who is over 200 years or so old. Fought Miho in World War II for possession of the littlest Lama, manipulating three chantry members into helping him achieve this goal. Like approximately 100% of Syndicate senior personnel seen so far, a magnificent bastard.
Ikeda - Some fuck in Japan. May be working on biomechabots. The target, or one of the targets, of Marauder-ko. Nobody remembers him due to all his Arcane. All evidence points to him being a magnificent bastard as well.
Progenitor
Uncategorized
Dr. Asano - Head of a Syndicate-tied R&D/manufacturing company. Has android secretaries. App 5 mage.
Cyber-Tia - May or may not be a cyborg Tia 2.0. Found working in Japan, with possible connections to Strike Force Zero. Current guess is that she's an Iteration X construct.
Winnipeg
Winnipeg's Vampires
Lucius Andari - A serious business vampire. His inability to keep up with Kana's torrent of fictional culture led to his downfall. Former Sabat Bishop of Winnipeg. After his final death his possessions were looted by various parties, including Tom One-Eagle.
Elvira - Lucius' former hench-bondage-vampire lady. Now a bishop of something or other. According to Filbert based under a Basilica.
Filbert - A vampire contact of some kind to Ozu. Somewhat crazy.... But being a insane Malkavian Kindred possessed a clearer understanding of the events happening in Winnipeg then anyone else at the time.
Indian Posse
Tom Oneeagle - A Dreamspeaker who contributed significantly to keeping Kana alive against Winnipeg's Vampires in S1, leading a clowncar full of Indians. As of the end of Season 2, Tom appeared to have gotten his hands on the Crown of Gilgamesh and may or may not be was definitely suffering some effects from it. During Mage: The Ascension: The Movie ~Curse of Gilgamesh~, he was shot in the head by a perfectly mundane bullet despite his phenomenal cosmic power due to mutually terrible magic rolls but was rescued by his werewolf buddy before the job could actually be finished. Now at large in northern Manitoba proving that in the World of Darkness, even Canada can have an insurgency. Now known to be attacking the oil pipelines in northern Alberta and Manitoba causing fuel shortages across North America.
Bobby - Some guy who got his neck snapped by Elvira. That bitch.
Izzy - A still-pimpled member of Indian Posse. Thinks he's all that with a butterfly knife. He and Kana found their worlds had little in common.
Wuff Brigade - There's like six of them. Sources say they do not fuck around either.
Other
Donald Ingram - A corrupt police chief in Winnipeg who was a willing lackey of the Camarilla, the Technocracy, and the Malfeans. At the behest of Tom Oneeagle, Westin helped plan an assassination against him, which was almost foiled by some angry Asian men looking for revenge against the Indian Posse. He was protected by some sort of evil magic (and not the True Magic kind) but Westin's marksmanship as well as his prayer for his speedy ascent to Acheron was more powerful than his eldritch protections, and hopefully will set the man free from his sins.
Vancouver
Vancouver Triads
Kang Tze-Kung - Kuei-jin. Definitely a Kuei-jin. Slain by Ozu in an epic brawl in the Dojo.
Kang Zhang - Kang's son. Dead by Kano's blade with an assist from Kana.
Mister Lao - A Kuei-jin. Was the Big Bad of Season 2. Had a Black Spiral ally who got roasted for his sins. Killed in triple combo attack by Kana, Proteus and Kano. Possibly had a man behind the man however.
Chiju - Overall leader of the Shady Vale kuei-jin base. Overcome by Tia after a bit of stumbling and had his place taken by "Tiachu".
Bao Zhi - Incredibly nasty sword kuei-jin. Cut in half by Vali after a 3-on-1 battle.
Xiumin - The third midboss. An ice lady in leathers dual wielding broadswords and with an uzi at her hip. Blinded by Cara and burned to ashes by Mari with Kana backing up.
"Jimmy Dean" + 4 - Sat around the garage and was responsible for the location's four chih-mei. Slain by Vali in a single blow. Vali also mostly slew the chih-mei in a single blow each, with the balance cleaned up via the team German's flamethrower.
Franky and Little Li - Troublemakers apparently. Cheaped out when Tiachu threw them to the chih-mei.
Hsing and Fu - Those Two Guys. Kidnapped Tia and led to this situation. About to face Team Girls, so one could argue that this section is Under Construction. Blinded by Cara, entrapped by chains, hacked and burned to death by Team Girl.
Feng - Last of the Mochinkans. Survived because he was on sentry duty. Should be thankful.
Team Timeout
Lussentelay - Skeletal and emaciated heroin addict infernalist mage who sold his soul. His arrogance at his own power and some timely help from both Marilia Caldwell's wraith and Josephine Mordant allowed Cara to take him down, bringing Team Fireball out of the nadir of its fortunes.
Red May - Appearance 5 Asian bondage lady with short cherry red hair and blue contacts. Unfortunately, Cara seems to hate her a lot, putting a damper on her prospects at becoming a Kana cosplay model. Possibly a Ghoul in bondage to Ozu. Slain at the final battle of RDJ by Cara.
Cathy - Black girl who goes out with a skinhead. Low self-esteem. Managed to quit the field with the wounded Sieg during the last battle.
Sieg - Skinhead who goes out with a black girl. A matter and mind mage, though a fairly shitty one. Was shot by one Cathy only to be saved by the other.
Other Fuckers
Ozu - A vampire and a Yakuza. Camarilla Prince of Vancouver. Is Kano's teacher. Just what he has at his disposal is uncertain though he was clearly losing to Kang before. As recent events unfolded, it rapidly became clear that he was at the extreme low end of the Conspiracy ladder. Object of infatuation to Dirtfort's resident fireball loli. Has not seen Gunslinger Girl.
Wang Jun - A Chinese arms dealer. Supplied guns to the Triads until he developed a severe case of Cheetahman.
Fat Freddy - Fat Freddy may be a reference to Fredek Bezelizin, a Russian gangster. Generally rather upscale, involved in gambling and laundering. No conflicts between him and the Tongs that you know of from the media reports.
Detective Nick Lomas - A detective who was onto Tia. Thought Kana was a harmless loli until she shot him from behind. Keikaku doori!
Leo Tarhal - Reborn Garou for the Glasswalkers and servant of the Wyrm. Excellent hacker, although not quite good enough to shake off Proteus. After being trapped in "real" space by Catherine, targeted by Proteus, fireballed by Mari his mind was cut apart by Cara in a challenge of wills that saw the brute broken and its secrets given up, cut short only by the coming arrival of fire engines. A lackey of Mister Lao.
Nyima Tempai - A Tibetan shota who was really an over 100 year old Kueijin. Apparently was a destined goodguy of some sort despite being a corrupted, purulent dick previously in league with a huge crime boss and subsequently in league with a servant of the Wyrm. Tried to play chessmaster with a mahjong player. However, Kana also activated his trap card.
Chicago
Japan
Arita - Manga girl.
Marauders
Lin Seigen - Leader of the Zollian Alliance.
Tokomandilin - A marauder stage boss. Quiet appears to be "I am Raven who stole the sun."
Ex-Techno Creations
Captain High Impact - A literal man-machine interface.
Ione - Marauder chick. That is, she is both a Techno creation and a Marauder. Can project and control biomechabots. Is the sister of the Captain so her Quiet may be closely related. Known as chaoticax@umail.com or Marauder-ko until Proteus gazed into the eye of chaos and managed to communicate on her level. Sees organic life as a hideous virus on the orderly matter of the so-called 'real' world. Takes the form of an OS-tan with doc oc tentacle-hair online.
Imogen - Ione's younger sibling. A much more sophisticated man-machine interface, she has incredible hacking and codebreaking abilities. Looks to be ten or so years old and isn't crazy like her older sister.
Kuejin
Boss Matsumoto Wielded the Sword of the Dark Shugenga, failed to adequately defend against Shu's ninja swords.
Boss Yamashita Fought Shu to a standstill, until the Kana-Heat-Hawk reaved his soul.
Boss Yoshida Impaled by an I-beam.
Boss Sasaki Escaped, still at large. Thinks the technos were behind the attack.
Nephandi
Jodi Blake Nephandus who is apparently a self described enemy of the Caldwell clan.
