Personal history
Albrecht Baumgartner was born in Dettenhausen, Germany just south of Stuttgart. He lived just outside of the Schaichtal nature preserve where his father was a park ranger.
Albrecht spent the majority of his childhood playing in the forests on Schaichtal. Albrecht quickly gained a love for nature and spent his free time making bug collections, cataloging birds, planting trees, and above all else admiring flowers.
Albrecht's mother suffered from schizophrenia ever since he could remember, but whenever he'd bring her flowers it was like she'd come back to reality for just a moment. This fueled Albrecht's growing obsession of learning everything there was to know about flowers. He began planting flowers around their house so that he'd always have flowers to show his mom.
When we was 12 he started to really get into genetics and making his own colors of roses by breeding them together. This was always a topic of conversation with his mother who increasingly became worse and worse.
In June of 1935 Albrecht's mother was sent to Brandenburg Asylum.
In February of 1940 Albrecht's mother was killed in Brandenburg Asylum as part of Action T4.

Chaos at Fort Dick
Sunday
John came back from his crazy run with all the brainwashed people right around the time we started to hear lots of loud noices coming from up north. The sounds of multiple guns firing, loud helicopters overhead, sirens in the distance, grenades going off. It was of course our loud friends, Quentin's Boys.
John's driver, Eric, comes by in the most expensive car I've ever seen in my life; a modified Ferrari LaFerrai. We take it up to Fort Dick and see the extreme chaos in person. A man with a gatling gun was killed by helicopter fire.
I heard through the cobweb the most clear thing I had ever heard before. A lullaby in Russian. Eric translated it for us. I immediately say I want to see my sire and we head out.
As we're leaving the mansion Quentin told us to avoid explodes and we stop hearing the lullaby.
Return to the Immortal Serpent
Sunday
We returned to the Immortal Serpent but this time it was much less of a party and much more of a calm hookah lounge with slow music playing. Despite the better atmosphere Berko was still grumpy.
Eli came in with a dark skinned, red haired man named Ezekiel and they led us down a fancy spiral staircase into a sound proof basement filled with nice chairs and about 20 people.
I scanned the room and determined that a couple people were especially zealous and sat by them. Berko had a great conversation with this while the two ministers set up.
The night began with the two vampires cutting their hands and letting their blood pool into a golden basin. Berko knew that this tradition was from their religion from Egypt, The Followers of Sett.
The do some magic and while they ask everyone to close their eyes they let a red mist fill the aisles.
Berko and I do our best not to consume anything but I fail to resist the urges to long for freedom that the magic compelled us to do. John had a particularly rough time and screamed at Berko and I to close our eyes.
Berko spoke with Eli after the sermon and warned him about the contradictory path he was on. They spoke of the Red Woman and Eli said she was not part of the Anarchs. Berko may have dropped Quentin's name when talking about Wights, which Eli accused us of making out of Anarchs.
Chores For Quentin's Boys
Sunday
When we got to the haven we notice that four punches have been made in the wall, destroying the sigil. A not was left saying "don't worry I took care of it for you".
We headed over to Quentin's Boys' Domain and once there we saw a park with music and dancing. I noticed that one of the band members was a ghoul, however found no vampires.
We don't know where to find Quentin so we give him a call. We use John's phone and Berko talks to Quentin. He says a few things he shouldn't like about the Wight. I get on the phone with Quentin and we have a talk about errands that he wants ran. He needed us to get his duck suit and make a drop off of weapons for him.
We pick up the duck suit from the dry cleaners and I have a premonition of Quentin wearing it at a furry convention. Then we head over to Saint Jude's to use John's influence to get some guns that were confiscated. We drop the guns off in a dumpster and leave.
Berko and John were very upset to do errands for Quentin, especially since he caused problems in our domain.
Hope's Garden
Saturday
The garden was on the roof and had roses and other plants of perfect caliber. I ask about thin bloods and we discussed my research into undead roses. She handed me a rose and her business card, saying "Take a look at this". I noticed then that there was blood magic involved with all the plants. I tell her I'd have to invite her to see my garden someday in the future. Berko and John waited outside for me for hours while I spent time with Hope. When I got out we left and John took us home.

The Immortal Serpent
Friday
John failed to mesmerize the bouncer so I found someone that had been waiting a long time to give up their spot. We got into the club after only a half hour or so of waiting.
Once in the club John was his crazy self once again and started doing coke with anyone that'd do it with him, I snuck some coke to do experiments on in my lab.
The rabbi got into a room alone with Eli. While he was in there I had a strange interaction with a fellow Malkavian who had gone against the Camarilla. Things didn't work out so well and he got very hostile, but Berko came out at just the right time to cloud his memory and allow me to escape, but not before taking one last jab at the hot headed Malkavian John called "Tony the Tiger".
Attack of the Wight
Saturday
We met up at the haven again. John looked different, tonight he has bugged eyes and looked incredibly creepy.
I used See The Unseen again but this time I noticed a Sigil, Berko recognized it as potent blood sorcerery.
John called for the The Leper and she came out right away. We shared the symbol and The Leper said "That bitch" clearly we were being spied on by Vanessa. We go to talk to The Leper in another room, then realize maybe we should keep our secrets so we awkwardly leave the room without doing anything.
We hear loud noises, Berko and John run up and I sneak behind. There was a wight eating a lady from Berko's synagogue.
John went up and did some mind tricks on the Wight at which point he ran into the sewers.
The victim was Ann-Marie, Fred's twin sister. While we were mourning the death and trying to come up with a solution the cops came. The officers arrested me, Officer Bidgetsen was particularly rough. When John sees the officers he stays away. Berko and I gave our names to the cops and got out by the fact that I didn't have blood on me. Berko said that it was a car crash. We leave and head over by the sewers to John. John makes a call and The Sheriff shows up out of nowhere.
I had a premonition and noticed that there was a biker guy in the background during the attack. The biker was in a suit, had tattoos, and was unusually calm. Nobody knew the description of the biker, so we decided it was time to figure out some leads to try and clear our names. John made some calls to get the corpse sent to his hospital. We split up, Berko to talk to the members of his synagogue and John and I to do more investigation.
John and I went to St. Jude's where we see some interesting things at his hospital. We make it to the corpse and I use Spirits Touch on it. I find out that this biker was being chased from outside our domain and into our crowd. We know the old coterie has left and that the adjacent domains are Blackstar Security and Quentin's Boys. We decide to head over to Blackstar Security for some answers.
Visit With Blackstar Security
Saturday
We headed west to Blackstar Security's domain.
Berko and John knew some of the people from this domain so we felt comfortable heading in.
John drove us to meet up with Samuel Black as he was a fellow ventrue.
When we got there we noticed that Northside was filled with more lower wage workers most likely due to being near the industrial district. However, there was an attempt at gentrification which didn't seem to take fully.
We went to Blackstar Security's six story building which took up an entire block.
We use John's clout to get up to the sixth floor to talk with Samuel. While there we talk about Fort Dick and Berko says he'll talk to Eli about it tomorrow.
As we begin to leave Hope reached out to me to talk about my research.
