Deanna Moss

The Hierophant
"Can't you feel it? I think you will if you close your eyes and open your soul. An electric buzz in the air, whispers in your ear, wind through your hair. The spirits of this city are waking up again. So put on your Sunday best, my darling, because we will be there to greet them!"

Deanna Moss claims to have been born an illegitimate child of the city's seventh mayor, raised at first in luxury but then in whorehouses after her father's untimely death. From the women there and from her father's old friends (he was also a renowned Spiritualist of the time), she learned the secrets of spirits and seances. It is said this passion for occult knowledge and tenacity in pursuing it led to her Embrace. She served as a Priestess and then a High Priestess in the Circle of New Babylon, eventually founding several of her own cults at various times. When the Decimation came, those with more specific and stringent beliefs tended to perish, but somehow Deanna managed to survive, and with no one else left to lead assumed the title of Hierophant.

It is unclear precisely what her goals are now, or if she's ever had any goals at all beyond indulging in her beliefs and the activities that go along with them. What is certain is her belief that Kindred and mortals alike can commune with powers beyond themselves to achieve their deepest desires.
