Vincent Roberts

The Director
"That information is classified. You can get clearance, of course, but you'll need to do the Movement a favor first...and I'm not sure you're up for it."Prior to the Decimation that the agents of the God-Machine brought to New Babylon's Kindred, Vincent Roberts was a mid-ranking member of the Carthian Movement seemingly content to aid others in their operations. The Movement itself, then, was certainly more a revolution than it is tonight, with a full set of clear doctrines based around personal liberty. The God-Machine and, some would say, Roberts changed all that.

The Carthians probably lost more members in the early days than any other Covenant, and immediately went to war against the God-Machine and its agents. They did not succeed in their efforts, and revolutionary after revolutionary met their Final Death as Roberts and others watched. Soon bereft of leadership, this Mekhet stepped up into the gap and reorganized the Movement to operate more like a spy agency than the bloody democracy it was before. He claims to have learned all this from time in his mortal life spent in the CIA, but there's certainly no record of his involvement in that organization that anyone has found (or survived long enough to share).

As the Kindred of New Babylon go forth to take back the night, the Director says that the Carthians must transform themselves once more and find a new purpose in a city which, for most purposes, is new to them once more. Some call him obsequious, but Roberts doesn't seem to mind. He says he prefers to be underestimated.
