SEVEN NAMES FROM THE OLD WORLD
(kindred whose files began as mortal history)

Analysts note: the lecture series that produced this file insisted
these are "real people who became real monsters." Registry doubt
applies to every line. History is the only witness who cannot be
Embraced.

  VLAD TEPES (Dracula)   — Tzimisce, 6th generation, Carpathians.
                           Fifth by diablerie, if the cellars of the
                           order he joined are to be believed. The
                           Impaler Line claims Bucharest. Bucharest
                           claims it was a misunderstanding.
  GILLES DE RAIS         — Lasombra. Marshal of France turned
                           "Antonio d'Erlette" in the letters. His
                           confession survives; the edits do not.
  GRIGORI RASPUTIN       — 9th generation. Survived cyanide, bullets,
                           the river, and his own biography. The file
                           reopens every forty years out of habit.
  JACK THE RIPPER        — attribution contested across three clans.
                           The only consensus: the murders were a
                           message, and the recipient is still in
                           the address book.
  CALIGULA               — the Limbs were not his idea. Something
                           older taught Rome to be afraid in Latin.
  ELIZABETH BATORY       — the bathwater report is propaganda. The
                           guest ledger is not. Csejthe keeps its own
                           census.
  ANASTASIA ROMANOV      — the body that was never found has been
                           seen boarding trains in four decades and
                           two hemispheres. FILE WITH DOUBT. The
                           doubt has its own subfile.

OPERATIONAL NOTE: mortal fame is camouflage in the modern nights.
A celebrity elder is a logistics network with a publicist. The
Second Inquisition hunts by camera; these names predate cameras
and budget accordingly.
