Known Associations

Allies

• Theodore Donowitz - Ancillae Brujah, Sire.

Barnett used to see Teddy as the father that he wish he had, and once would have done close to anything he asks. Since Teddy was put into torpor Barnett has felt a bit abandoned by his sire.

• Aaron Fontaine - Neonate Brujah, 'Brother'.

Barnett is having trouble believing one of Teddy's would attack the Keeper of Elysium, but respects his ability and knows that Aaron can follow orders.

• Candy - Neonate Brujah, 'Cousin'.

As above, yet Candy seems resourceful and exceptional at bluffing.

• Luella Hunter - Neonate Gangrel.

"This young one is teaching me about modern culture and technology, she's pretty smart... and she ain't hard on the eyes despite the fangs. Maybe, if the world were a slightly better place, she could have been my childe."

• Clay McDonald - Neonate Gangrel.

He's dependable.

• Beatrice - Neonate Toreador.

Barnett is not mad, just disappointed.

• Armand Le'Blanc

If my sire trusted him, then I suppose that I can too, although to a lessor degree.

• Scotty

I trust his judgement.

I would swap Kate for Evangeline any day.

• Mick Diamond - Neonate Brujah, Grandsire's childe.

Typical Iconoclast.

• Victor Creed - Neonate Nosferatu, Keeper of Elysium.

Victor's association with Kate Horton could be a danger to the court.

Elders are always feared by their court; Elder d'Lumiere is one of the few that have rightfully earned that fear.

• Emily Black - Neonate Brujah, 'Cousin'.

Rumours

• He seemed to like Voce's performance, y'think...?
• Has earned the title "Sheriff China Princess Barnett the fragile".
  • Certain Kindred of the Brisbane Court would do well to remember Barnett taking 4 direct shotgun blasts in raid against Sabbat Ghouls in February of 2014, and seizing a Sabbat Member's Haven by force in July 2014. Certain Kindred of the Brisbane Court were curiously absent during both of these raids, mayhaps they are projecting their fragility?

• Deputy Marshal Everett Hitch from Appaloosa.
