History of Past Princes

1955 - 1968: Kaida, Ventrue Ordo Dracul. Gathering the kindred in the city together, she proposes there be a court. It is agreed and pre-laid boons are called in for her to become the first Prince.

1968 - 1976: Rieger, Gangrel Invictus. A member of the court is destroyed by an unknown assailant, the resulting shift of boons allows Rieger to seize Praxis. On his opening night he destroys the throne and crouches on the ruins.

1976 - 1984: Kaida, Ventrue Ordo Dracul. As Gangrel business forces Rieger to be detained, she successfully seizes power.

1984 - 1988: Raymond Vauxhall, Mekhet Invictus. Raymond's Praxis looks like a boon-based seizure, but no-one can plot the exact flow of boons that make it happen. Regencies are handed out, and feeding is strictly and brutally restricted to those Regencies.

1988 - 1993: Lady J, Daeva Invictus, makes back-room deal that no-one is privy to - one night, she announces that she is Prince now, and neither Raymond nor his supporters object.

1993 - 2002: Rieger, Gangrel Invictus. One day the court arrives at Elysium to find Rieger on the throne, he doesn't vacate it and speaks not of the Praxis.

2002 - 2003: Isaac Winter, Daeva Crone. Suspiciously easy Praxis seizure from Reiger...

2003 - 2004: Lupo, Daeva Lance. Is given the Praxis by Isaac, who is more interested in pursuing the Livians. Lupo, having returned from the Livian crusade, continues the persecution of the Livian cause in Canberra in a series of public inquisitorial hearings.

2004 - 2013: Kaida, Ventrue Ordo Dracul. Playing on the distaste generated by the semi-frequent Inquisitorial hearings, seizes power.

2013 - Present: Tiberius Harkonus Augustus Marcellarius. Uses boons for a traditional Praxis seizure, then institutes his own ideas on court positions.
