Equipment:red leather ledger (which contains information that could topple the empire) Cigarettes, Lighter,The Chains of Slavery These Nephandi talismans are very prized by the dark mages, since they help them manage those unfortunates they plan to sacrifice to theirmasters or otherwise use in their vile amusements. The chains are black and cold, numbing to the touch and quite heavy. Some versions come with manacles or leg irons, but most are simply long chains which bind a victim. Anybody bound by them will become docile and have a hard time taking initiatives. Thinking about breaking or escaping the chains becomes impossible, and orders given by someone holding the other end of the chain (or just orders in general) are instantly obeyed. System: As long as the victim is bound, his effective willpower is five ess than normal, reducing most people to docile slaves. The difficulties of initiating new actions increase with 3, while resisting a given order requires a willpower roll.

Story:

Lady Sarah Thorne is proof positive that you can make a silk purse from a sows ear as long as you don't mind it turning into an abjectly evil silk purse. Sarah was a streetwalker from the age of 11. She was adopted by a group of Acharne Mages and used by them somewhat vigourously. Nobody was more suprised than them when she awakened and managed to poison their Absinthe. She was walking around east london with her mind spinning after her awakening and abrupt freedom. broke, hungry, possibly out of her mind...naturally a man like Hawthorne Rausch would seem like a knight in shining armour when he approached her. Saying simply " I have been waiting for you."

Rausch taught her everything. he hired tutors, taught her to dress and speak correctly. Gave her the rundown on ettiquet and politics. In return she shared his bed and when he deemed her ready, he began to entrust certain vice trade to her.

She is not one to disappoint Rausch. She took to being a Madame with gusto and has built a serious operation out of something merely peripheral to Rausch's plans.
