2013

• June - Murdoch was present at the death of the bloodhunted Henry Douglas at the hands of the Scourge, discovering in the process a potential group of hunters. The sheriff was eventually informed, once he finished up his own difficulties. A large number of boons were moved, for a great variety of reasons.

• July - Started his clan testing quest of the courts officers, with a few Russian difficulties here and there.

• August - Managed the bets on behalf of the Scourge on the nights footie game, then foolishly asked the Governor if there was a replacement for the missing seneschal. Now drafted into the role, he spent the rest of the night running back on forth on endless errands, eventually being rewarded with standing for his efforts, to his awkward surprise.

• September - Initially slow going, as many of the court combated the efforts first of a Spider Monster, then the traitorous efforts of Bernard Estrada. Later in the evening he was instructed to conduct blood tests on all members of the city, which he began to do quite vigorously. In the midst of these efforts, he replaced Archived-Jericho as Sheriff, then was a surprisingly loud voice in a tumultuous Ventrue meeting. Mandatory blood testing was instituted by the Governor, a task that Murdoch was quick to get started on.

• October - A gathering defined by the tests of former Governor Bush, Murdoch was a minimal participant, carrying on as normal with his blood testing and questions.

Murdoch, February 2014

• November - Was on hand to defend the Court against a small strike by Hunters. Following it up led to some explosions and deaths, but the Masquerade appeared to stay intact.

• December - Sits quietly as Archived-Sawyer seizes Praxis. Does not attempt to hold onto the post of sheriff.

2014

• January - Murdoch quietly does not argue his loss of the Sheriff position, quickly jumping into the new organised "portfolio" system of City service. Towards the end of the evening, as Archived-Tobias Mol was arguing with Archived-Yegor Zadorozhny, Murdoch represents the Ventrue in the Prisci meeting. His sire promptly lost status from the harpy shortly after.

• February - Murdoch disappeared for the month, and thus was not around for the demise of Archived-Sawyer.

• March - Reappearing, it became evident that Murdoch had been forced into torpor by Hunters. After a long night of Brood infiltrators being revealed and killed/torpored, including his brother Archived-Jack Wolfe, he moved away from the city having served his thirty year sentence. He received acknowledgement in Canberra and begun the process of joining the Invictus.

• April - Politicking heavily in his new city, Murdoch seizes Ventrue Priscus in anticipation of a back room Priscis deal to aid a Praxis seizure. No Praxis seizure eventuates.

• May - Given the position of Seneschal under Lady Daywalt and supports her in the following Praxis attempt. For his efforts he was known as Valued within the city. Later in the evening when members of the city broke out into violence through luck and Dominate he escaped from Archived-Satan's Spawn, fleeing the scene with Archived-Isaac Winter.

• August - After an absence from the court in which his entrance to the Invictus is finalised, Murdoch returns to Canberra; now under the ruler ship of Archived-Zarkov Justinius. He is immediately made Seneschal. Later in that evening he once again rises to be Ventrue Priscus.

• September - A foray into Sydney is disrupted by the death of Archived-Marquis Aurialanus, the instance of which spoils several plans. In Canberra later in the month he serves fully in his roles as Seneschal and Priscus, making decent gains for the Ventrue.

• October - Elected to Clan leadership at the Conclave, continues in his various duties as Priscus and Seneschal. For the first time in recent memory Daeva ascendancy is broken by the Ventrue. He also serves as Venue host. Later in the month his Invictus status is raised and he obtains the rank of Lord.

• November - The Daeva sadly resume their position as the strongest clan in the city. For the second month, Murdoch was host, instigating a new City Goal calling for kindred to rise for the occasion of said duties. Uncle Willy, who had served as Prisci Harpy for as long as Murdoch had been in the city, was not present. Moving swiftly, Archived-Johnathan Thayn of the Ventrue was installed. Later on Murdoch would have his city standing increased to Respected., and be given the Invictus title of "Lord".

• December - Eminence returns! For his achievements his clan realise that Murdoch is worthy of Admiration. He spends the evening at court in a long array of meetings and appointments, outside of a brief interruption by a loud member of the Society; necessitating Murdoch intervening as the host seemed incapable of doing so.

2015

• January - An assassination attempt on Prince Archived-Zarkov Justinius results in his torpor, but he escapes. While he is convalescing Murdoch sits upon the throne, though he limits himself from speaking stridently on behalf of the Praxis.

• February - Murdoch enjoys a new lease of freedom as the Praxis peacefully changes and he is no longer bound by the duties as Seneschal. Focusing on Ventrue affairs, he dictates the local Clan philosophies without protest, tests the veracity of his fellow lords claim to be of the Clan of Kings and convinces his fellow Prisci to raise Fujita. This balances the Ventrue standings overall after Archived-Kaida slaps Murdoch before storming out of the court, forcing the Keeper to lower her standing.

• March - Rumours swirled over a move by Murdoch to the Lance. He forged working relationships with both the Spear and Ordo. There was also a hug by Fatima, that was both suspicious and awkward.

• April - Made the briefest of appearances at the gathering before the evening ended.

• May - Rose in the Invictus ranks, cemented his position as the standing Judex and otherwise entertained himself in the court.

• June - Spent a relaxed evening engaging in machinations, seemingly unperturbed by the death of Ella as he stopped Simms from surrendering to the beast.

• July - Murdoch seizes Praxis/Primus of Canberra. Aside from a singular meeting he spends his time upon the throne engaged in the business of a new Praxis, appointing some positions and trapping unfortunates in long discussions.

• August - It's a busy, continuous loop of discussions as Prince with Murdoch barely leaving his Throne, with brief interruptions to exit with Vivi Lefluer, Blood Hunt Simms as they sat next to each other then negotiate his fate with the torpid corpse at his feet. City goals were declared and multiple oaths signed, proclaiming a preference for torpor over destruction, said bodies to be held by the Lance and for the treaties with the Shapeshifters and Willworkers, then finally multiple city positions were granted.

• September - Holds the Manumission ceremony to induct his Vassal, Scrap, into the First Estate. Has the joy of witnessing the tourney held by Leo, then dealing with visitors bringing their problems with them. Ends the day with the migraines consistent, the meetings constant and Praxis intact. Owing to some odd choices in the combats, he also leaves with the torpid body of Archived-Fujita Kazuhiko.

• October - Travels to the Conclave spends some time with the local Prince. He ends up being involved with the Conclave to some degree and issues their pronouncements against the product known as Synthblood. Back at the Canberra gathering, he gave Archived-Nyx the option of death or lifeblood for torporing and boxing Archived-Artemis. This was viewed disfavourably by the Lancea. The Scourge, Leo, was sent to deal with some Draugr Murdoch had restricted to a building. He failed badly and the Draugr sought out Murdoch, who had Archived-Melieke finish them off.

• November - Spoke against recent statement by Lupo, negotiated with Mages peacefully.

• December - Had a quiet night as the court concerned itself with hunters and was witness to a self defeating series of Prisci announcements by Lupo.

2016 - Was Prince long time, left position, disappeared mid Conclave gatherings in Canberra

Quotes About

"I don't believe I've ever heard of the Kindred you speak of. Yes, we've met, what is your point?"

- Archived-Marquis Aurialanus

"You've got a problem, right here. This shouldn't have happened, but it has. You're a mistake. You're worse than a purulent bitch in heat. Now, get out of my sight. You disgust me. And don't come back."

- Archived-Tobias Mol

"I don't care if he is the childe of Tobias Mol, he was warned and needs to pay the price for his crime. While he is in service to the Court his crime is ignored, we should assume he will fulfil his service. Should he work out his term, he has a clean slate, I will not consider the alternative."

"Pitiable. Mr Hobbes likes them that way".

- Archived-Anthony Desmond

"Mr Tyron clearly understands that he is indentured to the Invictus; he understands the chains that bind him; how much freedom his bindings provide; and more importantly where he is free to walk but shouldn’t. Through this understanding he has become ruler over his small caged domain. I would warn any individual against attacking this small world that belong Mr Tyron because while he appears harmless his rage will burn long and cold and likely lead to your destruction."
