I am glad you are well. I was becomming concerned you were in danger. It would have been a large inconvenience to send assets to track you down.

You have all eternity ahead of you Ethan. Don't be foolish enough to fall to a few Neonates.

This is certainly very interesting. I would be most interested to hear more of Marc. For just the reasons you mentioned it is very hard to introduce an agent into his organization. However, as I have recently become the Prince of New York City I am in a position to pardon you after you have gone through Marc's little initiation ritual. I understand that there was some congress between Marc and one of the leaders of the Sabbat in this city before the assault. I would be very currious to know if this is true, who was involved, what they were talking about, and is such discussion continues.

I would say that congradulations are in order. The Sabbat have been thrown back, without the help of Jan or Julia however. The people of the city saw this lack of leadership and asked me to take Jan's place, as I mentioned above. I am, of course, glad to serve. I see no reason to hide from you that this brings me a great deal of personal pleasure as well. Unfortunately the city is not yet well in hand. I have had to... compramise a bit to achieve the position I have attained. In six or eight months I belive things will be secure enough for you to return.
As for your friends... well. Perhaps you could write to them. For some reason they have taken great offense with me. I will be the first to admit that I caused their sires some small amount of trouble. Julia was not pleased to see Jan fall of course, but I am glad to say she left the city without any conflict. Parker's sire had to be put down I am afraid. She was truely beyond control, a menace to the kindred of this city. I am glad I was able to serve by destroying her myself. Surely Cliff and Parker can be made to see that they are better off free of their sire's influence. I think they mean to cause harm to me in this city. Certainly you can tell them that working with me is highly preferable.

Naturally your sister is in no danger. I made certain she was introduced to her new "friend" to further ensure that, he is highly trained in the arts of self-defense. I am, and will continue to, uphold my end of the bargan.
