You guys hear of the Haqumite that's in town? Ask me, ever since the blood marriage between the Children of Haquim and the Rose, the big C has been way too lenient in letting these people in

Married in Blood

 
A marriage in blood is what tied the Camarilla together with their Middle East contemporaries, The Ashirra. Famed Toreador, Victoria Ash, married Haqimite Tegyrius in 2014 sealed the deal and since then, there has been an influx of Banu Haquim moving into Camarilla domain. Khadija is one such Banu Haquim, having moved to Chicago on the behest of her masters in the Ashirra. She is a diplomat for her cause and is for all intents and purposes the voice of the Ahshirra in Chicago.
 
Her presence along with her childer, Aicha Rana, has ruffled a few feathers with those more conservative Kindred. With many believing that the Ashirra's plans are to move Khadija as their representative on the Primogen Council. Khadija has done little to dissuade this fear. But, she has made a point in helping out Kindred around Chicago when in need. In particular she seems to have a soft spot for those newer Kindred and those that display a clear hint of humanity, despite coming off cold and clinical.
