Territory Claim: Newham

"Snow Patrol - Take Back The City" (Watch on YouTube)

With Raymond Harris dead, and the structure of Islington Nest potentially fragile, Cesare has a point to make. It is always during sudden changes in leadership that others have a tendency to fight for influence, a standoff of peace followed by a sudden rush for power and position. Cesare himself has done it many times, but just this once he would like to avoid it.

The Nest needs to assert its strength and Cesare is happy to be the one facilitating that. The assassination of Raymond Harris has whetted his appetite. He had missed this.

Although abhorring Sylvia, he decides not to attack her directly just yet, settling instead for the easy enemy, East End Pack. He tells only a few of those in his nest who he thinks he can trust, and sets out during the night, capturing strategic points, pushing out political figures and killing those who refuse to move. Cesare believes in fairness, but he does not believe in mercy.

"I was thinking Dame Frye, for one. She has a calm exterior, but I'm fairly certain she's itching for a fight." Whether he's right or not is another thing entirely, but what's the impression Cesare has of her.

"I would appreciate it if you could gather your people as best you could too. It would save us a lot of time." Joscelin isn't exactly the highest rank in the world, but Cesare knows that old vampires tend to have friends.
