Daniel Moineau Files
A few terms and concepts to be familiar with
Diablerie is the act of one vampire drinking all of another vampires' blood and includes the consumption of their soul. With regards to vampires believed to originate from Cain, this allows the absorption of power from a vampire of an earlier (more powerful) generation, effectively decreasing the diablerist’s own generation from the original vampire.
Antediluvians are vampires created before the flood, believed to be third generation from the original vampire of Cainites. Daniel wishes to commit diablerie on one of them in hopes of obtaining their godlike power.
Ghouling is an act of feeding a living creature the blood of a Cainite. The vampire in this relationship is often called a “regnant” and the ghoul a “thrall”. The “blood bond” formed is a supernatural link of fidelity and dependency of one individual on a vampire. It creates both a physical and psychological addiction in the thrall. Based upon the frequency of feeding, it could lead to pure domination of the thrall’s will to the vampire. At its lowest intensity, this will result in someone easily swayed by the vampire’s will and desire. At its strongest, the thrall will do nearly anything the regnant suggests. Intel implies that withholding the regnant’s blood from the thrall for a year will break the bond, both physically and psychologically. Other means of breaking the bond are being tested.
A blood bond can be formed between vampires as well.
Who's Who in Daniel's inner circle
Attlilio Centofanti - Daniel's biological grandfather. He was an elder being who dates back at least 2000 years. Believed to be one of the founding fathers of La Costra Nostra, he was an extremely powerful sorcerer with the ability to manipulate the netherworld.
Our very own Sebastian Jacques was an associate of Attilio's. If anyone wishes to know more about Daniel's grandfather seek out Sebastian.
Daniel has also been conducting rituals in an attempt to unlock 2 millennia worth of his grandfather's memories. If this doesn’t cause him to go mad, it will allow him to absorb knowledge that could be dangerous in the hands of this psychopath: old Arcane secrets; location of powerful magical artifacts; and even hidden tombs, such as the resting places of Antediluvians Daniel seeks.
Daphne Ballantine(Captured) - The former infiltrator of Phoenix Insurrection was believed to be Daniel's second in command and perhaps is the key to finally locating Daniel. The problem is that she has been blood-bonded to the vampire, meaning she'd sooner die than betray the sick fuck. The best means to break her might be to seek her mind for information. We have gathered some intel from her through our very own Robert. Please see below for more information. I would like to speak with any psychics among us in regards to further tapping of her mind. As a warning, this is not a task for the faint of heart. Please seek me for further instruction.
Celi Marcetti (At Large) - Formerly known as the lovable tech geek of PI, she is now the twisted childe (vampire) of Daniel. It is believed that she was ghouled by Daniel before she even joined PI, yet no one seemed able to pick up on this. She managed to have many PI members eating from the palm of her hand using her sweet, down-to-earth girl act. She was eventually captured when PI destroyed Daniel's original lair, though she later escaped. She is another key to bringing Daniel to his demise. From the intel gathered on her, she seems just as twisted as the one who sired her and she has been seen utilizing similar magics to those that Daniel wields.
Spike Plissken (At Large) - Daniel's "war general," not much is known of Spike's past, though those within vampire circles believe him to be a former Army Ranger dating back to the Vietnam War. If true, it makes perfect sense as to why Daniel chose Spike as the one who runs his vampiric army. Reports claim Spike is expertly taking charge of the army with nearly perfect execution of various missions. Getting hold of Spike would be a huge disruption of Daniel's plans.
Jack Wright (Captured) - Another of Daniel's flunkies. It is believed that Daniel easily ghouled him due to Jack's desire to become a vampire himself. It appears that Daniel utilized Jack as a distraction. We don't believe Daniel shared much with this idiot. Instead Jack appeared to serve as a patsy in regards to Celi's escape or to cause paranoia as he tried to pin blame of Celi's escape upon our very own Elizabeth Leopold. Again, while we feel he doesn't hold the information that we seek, we intend for the mentalists among us to help search his mind for possible clues that may lead us to Daniel.
Mira St. Clair (At Large) - Known to have ties to the Arachnos, this member of SIN, Inc, had strong enough evidence against her to lead us to suspect her of being one of Daniel's ghouls. We believe she has been working for him from the beginning. Recent news may toss doubt to that theory, though; Daniel stated that it was PI and Kinneas who clued him in to our interest in her which may have brought his attention to her as well. A few weeks ago she was picked up for questioning by Arachnos, supposedly due to her ties to PI and IE, only to be snatched out of their hands by Daniel's organization. Mira may have been involved in Celi's escape. More to come as we gather further intel.
Daniel's Vampiric Army(Growing) - Daniel has legions of vampires following his command. Many believe this to be primarily through fear but it may be from his ability to play to the frustration of the politics instilled by the vampiric elders. Some consider him a ' revolutionary ' among the vampires, promising to take the world back from the meta-human population. While Phoenix Insurrection was able to set him back by destroying his original lair and his army, he had time to rebuild when PI's focus shifted fully to another thorn in their side, Hecator Salinez. We believe that during this distraction, Daniel was able to rebuild his empire to become a threat once more.
Intel Gathered
Formerly Daniel Sanders-Clarke, the future-son of Megan Sanders came here from a dark future that no longer exists. The boy was a mutant-born dhampir that Aes Moineau took under her wing. After thoroughly corrupting him, she decided to complete the destruction of any good in him by beating him up, turning him, and burying him in a grave she'd forced him to dig himself. The resulting vampire is the cruel, wicked, power-hungry monster we all know now as Daniel Moineau.
Daniel has since grown in power due to the acts of diablerie and tapping into the arcane power that his bloodline holds. Vampire circles believe that he may have achieved 5th or possibly 4th generation from the original vampire of the Cainites, Cain. One thing is for certain; if he is able to feed from the Antedeluvian that he seeks, he could possibly obtain godlike status. We can't let that happen. He needs to be stopped.
Daniel possesses the innate ability to wield powerful Dark magic, obtained from his ways of manipulating the power of the Netherworld. He is also an extremely powerful mentalist. Combined with his inherent vampire abilities and his intellect, Daniel is an extreme threat that needs to be put down.
His primary weakness is the divine. Those who wield weapons blessed by those of true faith or a simple prayer by one who has what has been deemed as true faith have an edge over him. The power behind faith seems to affect him far more greatly than most vampires, while fire or silver doesn’t have any effect on him whatsoever.
From what we gathered, Daniel seems to calculate every move and counter move ahead of time. He always seems to be a step ahead of us, and we need to find ways to cut him off at the pass.
One possibility currently exists to allow us to whittle down his numbers. We have intel that points to various warehouses throughout the Isles that Daniel uses to recruit members for his army. He uses a "Flight Club" style environment, and fights are to the death. Those left standing are able to join his army. We are looking into possible ways to locate these warehouses. Anyone who wishes to aid us in the search, talk to me or one of the Aspects.
Another lead we have is that Daniel's lair has different portal "doors" located throughout Nerva. A portal leading to his lair opens at different locations depending upon the day or time. We need mages to keep an ear to the ground within the magical circles of Nerva for possible information that will let us predict where and when such a portal will open.
We also found out that Daniel has someone cleaning the Black Market out of holy relics and weapons. His methods involve killing the one selling said items, robbing them of stock, or even simply having a particular person buy them off the shelf. We have people looking further into the situation.
If anyone else has anything that may help add to the pieces of the puzzle please share. We are looking for anything we can that will bring us closer to dusting this bastard. Anyone who wishes to aid in the investigation, please see Unleashed Force, Leader of Phoenix Insurrection, so he can direct you accordingly. Thanks in advance.
Update
Daniel's Demise
An email from Unleashed Force to the members and allies of Phoenix Insurrection
From: UnleashedForce@PI.org To: PI-Aspects (group), PI-Officers (group), PI-Members (Group) CC: Coalition-Leaders (group), Coalition-Members (Group)
Subject : Daniel's demise
I wanted to thank everyone who was involved in the investigations that eventually led to Phoenix Insurrection banding together to bring Daniel's organization down. We raided his lair, dusted his top two Lieutenants (Spike and Celi), rescued another tormented captive, and eventually took him down on our very soil.
While Daniel himself is behind us, as members of PI it will be our duty to clean up the mess he left behind. We still have Daphne in custody. I will be speaking with the Aspects to discuss our plans for her, but will listen to your suggestions if they're constructive. Also, Mira still remains at large, teleporting away before we could actually capture her. We don't know exactly what her status is, and while we were able to bring her down, she didn't ash like the vampires so we suspect she's still a ghoul. She may be a danger to herself if what I've heard about the effects Daniel's death on ghouls are true.
I will keep everyone posted on our overall plan. Any thoughts, ideas, or suggestions, please send them our way. Great job, everyone, and keep kicking ass out there.
- Clint
