Editing Vampire: The Masquerade (section)

===Inconnu===
The Inconnu are a bunch of Illuminati-on-Steroids-crossed-with-Obfuscate-10 grade conspirators. ''Inconnu'' is a French word meaning "incognito/unknown/stranger".  The Inconnu have Monitors, who are vampires seeking [[Golconda]] and manipulating things behind the scenes. Members include a Malkavian who helped in the sacking of Constantinople back in 1204, the Prince of Switzerland and Liechtenstein Guillaume and even Vlad Tepes himself. Another such member is the Monitor of Istanbul, Mahatma, is a 4th generation Cappadocian who was trained in the way of Golconda by none other than Saulot himself. He now keeps an eye on Istanbul, training those whom he finds promising in the ways of Golconda while destroying those who pose a threat to the city's status quo or those who would draw attention from the Inquisition. Mahatma acts via intermediaries to do so, and even has an agent in the Prince's court. Istanbul is a complete cosmopolitan mess, with Sabbat tolerated amongst the Camarilla majority and even has some D'habi, the Baali Revenant family maintaining an estate somewhere along the Bosphorus (which would probably explain the strange, seemingly unused mansions along the coast IRL). On top of that, [[Werewolf: The Apocalypse|Pentex has its regional HQ there, and the city's got quite a few Silver Fangs and Bone Gnawers running around]]. So whatever the fuck those Inconnu are up to is some kind of bizarre mix of extreme vampiric political correctness, a weird experiment or utter ineptitude.

Their headquarters, Hunedora Castle, is a former Tzimisce castle in Western Romania. During the First Anarch Revolt the leaders of the Inconnu, the Council of Twelve, were out of options and as such saw themselves forced to summon a demon. The lucky fiend was [[Demon: The Fallen|Nikanuuranu, an Earthbound Fiend]] who agreed to a pact: mass human sacrifice and a drop of Vitae every year. This in turn results in the use of the Demon using its powers in the form of Portals 5 and Light 5 to hide Hunedora from sight and from being physically reached in order to protect the place. It's a pretty sweet gig: not only does Nikanuuranu have access to eight dots of all the Disciplines possessed by the Council of Twelve, he has a yearly massive donation of Faith (this is where the strength of the pact comes from: not from the powerful Vitae of the Twelve). On top of that, if one of the twelve pacters leave the castle grounds for any reason they have 10 minutes to get back. If they fail they immediately suffer Final Death. Of course, one wonders how such a heinous pact involving mass murder(which is pretty much a minimum 3 on sin scale, more likely 1) does not degenerate the vampires' Humanity to zero, who should be keeping it minimally 7 for even an attempt of Golconda...
