Luc Gossens:
A politician who worked in the shadows to put his party in charge. But just when this happened, after an unfortunate accident he got back up like a Brujah. Without sire and hunted down, he was forced to hide in the circus, where he bonded closely with Philippe, Danya and Simone, becoming the guard who protected them. Even now as head of government he is ready to face anything in order to defend the family he has painstakingly built for himself. Arrogant, tough, stubborn, arrogant and sometimes overbearing, but a solid pillar to lean on in times of need.
Philippe Chevalier: a Toreador with an eccentric and unique character. He was estranged by the clan after a humiliating incident, involving a very high profile Toreador. As a former creative director of the circus, he has an innate talent for creating breathtaking shows and creating extraordinary costumes, demonstrating a great passion for fashion. Despite his frivolous exterior, he is remarkably kind and sensitive, always willing to help others when they need it. Tied to all the former members of the circus, but in particular with Luc, with whom he will establish a romantic relationship. Together they will adopt Simone, raising her as their daughter, and creating a real family, more unique than rare in the vampiric world.
Simone Levesque: She represents a living miracle, an extraordinary uniqueness in this world. A little girl transformed by a Malkavian when she was still very young, she joins the Cernabog Circus which becomes her first real family, despite the problematic nature of her clan. After being kidnapped by the Camarilla for horrific experiments, she is found by Arthur and Luc, almost dead, and with no hope of being saved. But we don't know how Arthur did something that day, practically a miracle, not only saving Simone's life, but making her human again. But fate had not finished with her. Some time later, during the siege of Ekron, Simone was cursed again. But this time she was transformed by magic into a werewolf, in an attempt by the demon to drive Luc to madness, which by now considered her like a daughter.
But this act only created another foe for him, with blind fury and extraordinary strength.

The Circus Family:
In the darkness of the endless nights of the 20th century, a unique institution arose – the Cernabog Circus. This magical place represented a marriage between the art of darkness, the macabre and the enchantment of circus entertainment, creating an unparalleled show that captured the imagination of the public.
It all began with Danya Vetranov, a young Ukrainian fortuneteller destined for a future of misery and despair. Her life had begun in the dark and dangerous streets, especially after the arrest of her father, who had left her completely alone. Her ability to read cards attracted the attention of a mysterious man, the founder of the circus, Valerian Ardelean. A handsome gypsy prince turned Ravnos known for his skills at conning and seduction, he had an ambitious goal: to create a one-of-a-kind horror circus of his own. Danya became the focus of her hopes, the tarot visionary destined to lead the circus to success.
Simone Levesque, a Malkavian with six different personalities, became an essential element of the show, bringing a touch of madness and unique comedy to the circus. His ability to make the audience laugh, even if in a bizarre and sometimes frightening way, made him an indispensable element of the Cernabog Circus.
Philippe Chevalier, a Toreador with a refined taste in art, fashion and theatre, became the creative director of the circus, transforming every aspect of the show into a unique visual and sensory experience thanks to his sets and his designs.
Finally, Luc Gossens, a Brujah on the run from Camarillian authorities, became the silent guardian of the Cernabog Circus, ensuring the safety of the circus members with his discreet but commanding presence.
Circus Cernabog had morphed into an eclectic family of vampires and artists, each with their own story of darkness and rebirth. Together, they created an extraordinary show that enthralled and captivated nightly audiences from all over Europe. Beyond the lights of eternal night, in the heart of the circus, beat the heart of an exceptional art and bonds that defied eternity itself.
However, the happy days of the circus were to come to an end. Tragedy befell the Cernabog Circus with the mysterious kidnapping of Simone and Philippe, which plunged Luc and Danya into despair, even leading them to quarrel and separate.
Danya Vetranova: A charming Ravnos with a difficult past. Her sire took her to the circus for her extraordinary divination skills, and for many years that place was her home. The events she experienced in London had a radical impact on her life, pushing her to become the human soul of her coterie. She has a natural talent for bringing people together and considers those close to her as her family. She's willing to do anything to protect them, without any hesitation.

The Gossens Family:
The Gossens family originated from the deep relationship between Philippe and Luc, which blossomed after years of shy silence. Luc had already made a pact with the demon Dandelion, bonding body and soul and sharing their goals. Later, they adopted Simone after she was involved in the terrible kidnapping that led her to become human again.
Their family unit was small but happy, destined to expand in the future. Luc, wishing to honor the will of Becker, who was later revealed to be his true Sire, later killed by the demon Ekron, took two young vampires under his wing when they were still boys. Thus, Zoey, the Gangrel, and Bill, the Assamite, become part of the Gossens family.
In the vampiric society of London, Luc was one of the leading members of the government, while Philippe worked with one of the best Torador stylists in Europe. Simone attended school, while Dandelion followed Luc and assisted him in his goals. Zoey devoted her time to training and training other vampires in the gym, while Bill cultivated a great passion for video games.
Despite his stormy and impetuous character, Luc has an extremely tender side for children, he saved many of them from a horrible fate, leading them to an orphanage founded by him.
Even if he would have liked to bring them into his home and raise them as his own children, Philippe would hardly have accepted a hundred rowdy kids in the house.
