Notes for GMs

• Cynthia views infected as superior to the uninfected, and in turn the Strain I manifestations superior to the rest of the infected.

• Cynthia has done cruel and arguably monstrous things as part of her life and work. She does try to be fairly kind to her peers though. She tries not to be a comic book villain.

• She has difficulty connecting to non-infected. She maintains a cool distance from them, both socially and emotionally. In contrast, while still cautious and at first reserved, she often grows much closer with those of a similar nature to her.

• She is a passionate arcane researcher. It is a intertwined cause, seeking to satisfy her curiosity and to seek power. While at the moment pulled away from dedicated research, she studies cybermancy, both in the traditional fashion and more experimental 'cyberless' forms. She's also interested in planar mysteries, the nature of magic and infected, and assorted topics. She still dips into research when she can.

• Cynthia leads a Ordo Maximus cell in Austin, along with its assorted assets. She still travels often, and connects with others outside of the area. While she manages interest in her local zone of control, she's still very much part of a global organization, and she holds no personal loyalty or belonging to the area itself. Aside from the parts she has power or responsibility over.

Aspects Description

Aspect	Description
Select Connections	Only characters infected with HMHVV Strain I can raise Cynthia's loyalty past 2. Non-infected characters take a -2 on dice rolls involving Cynthia.
Above Aspect pending approval. Please notify Thematics.
Ageless Academic	The members of Ordo Maximus are scholarly. By uncovering the mysteries of the world, they find power. In less charitable terms, they're nerds. +2 to tests involving Academic Knowledge, Research, Scientists, and Technical Topics.
Magical Knowledge	Cynthia has studied the magical arts for decades. +2 to tests involving magic, it's effect on society, magical objects, or towards magical beings.
The Elite of the Elite	Ordo Maximus, or at least the front facing organization, is one of the most exclusive and discerning magical organizations in the world, and its public ranks reflect that. While near all of these 'members' are little more than unwitting providers of material resources, Cynthia has still built connections over the years. +2 to tests involving the wealthy, noble, or powerful.
Of Vampires, for Vampires	As part of Ordo Maximus's true organization, she works for the advancement of herself and other members, but ultimately vampires in general. She keeps close eyes on her community. +2 to tests involving Strain I infected. If Cynthia's loyalty is greater than 2, she will reach out further, and this aspect will apply to all infected.
Watchers in the Dark	Ordo Maximus isn't the only organization striving to uncover, understand, and control. +2 to tests involving magical groups, secret societies, hidden factions, and confidential research. She will not report on Ordo Maximus activities.
Intrigue Advice	While Ordo Maximus is surprisingly harmonious for a secret magical conspiracy run by vampires, it still has spats and factions from time to time. It can be complicated and frustrating to deal with. Cynthia is willing to give advice if needed. +2 to tests involving politics, intrigue, social conflict, and factionalism.
Cybermancy	As part of her research and history, Cynthia has been deeply involved in the study and practice of cybermancy. +2 to tests involving cybermancy, cyberzombies, and their backers.
Necromancy	In tandem with her study of cybermancy, she studies life, death, and the soul. She is skilled in necromantics techniques both standard and... experimental. +2 to tests involving necromancy in any of its forms, necro magic, necromantic practitioners, and towards questions of the soul.
