Council Remarks
“He is a study in imitation — and in what imitation becomes when perfected. The boy learned control from a Brujah and ambition from the Camarilla; it remains to be seen which will rule him.”
— Rhyon, Senior Ventrue Observer
“Eoin Vale conducts himself with the restraint of a born aristocrat and the hunger of a convert. Whether that makes him dangerous or indispensable is yet unclear.”
— Celeste D’Armitage, Toreador Council Representative
“Ronan’s choice has consequences. But the childe is not the crime — he is the result. And he’s watching, always watching.”
