History Characters / VampireTheMasqueradeNightRoad

* ActionGirl: An option if the character is female. Nothing presents her from being a combat monster.

* FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire: While incredibly difficult, you can survive on bagged blood and save the lives of every mortal you meet. Save the ones trying to kill you.

* TheStarscream: To the old Ventrue Prince of Tucson. She's the one who encouraged him to launch a crusade against the other non-Venture clans, a course of action which eventually lead to his Final Death. However, she failed to come out on top of the EvilPowerVacuum that ensured after the Prince's destruction, leading to her being run out of the city.

* AristocratsAreEvil: One of the worst Ventrue in the entire game.

* HotWitch: Albeit, actually a HotScientist who just so happens to be a witch.

* ProhumanTranshuman: If they [[spoiler: side with the Second Inquisition]] due to their sincere belief that [[spoilers: the atrocities that vampires commit to perpetuate their existence are unforgivable, and that the world would be a better place if all vampires were destroyed.]]

A Brujah doctor who is running a free hospital where the drugs of Tuscon's Kindred feed.

** [[spoiler: Betrays the Courier if they help them fake her death.]]

* DefectorFromDecadence: [[spoiler: Accepts an offer from Julian to join his organization if you present it to him. She's not willing to acknowledge him as her boss but willing to enter into a partnership. From the Anarchs' perspective, this makes her an ally.]]

* TakeOverTheCity: Her goal in (un)life was to claim sole sovereignty over a US city in a hundred years. However her plans went belly up when she tried to launch a bid to take over Tucson, and she barely escaped the city with her life. With the game begins she's only ''just'' gotten back into the Camarilla's good books.
* TheStarscream: To the old Ventrue Prince of Tucson. She's the one who encouraged him to launch a crusade against the other non-Venture clans, a course of action which eventually lead to his Final Death. However she failed to come out on top of the EvilPowerVacuum that ensured after the Prince's destruction, leading to her being run out of the city.

** The Anarchs are, depending on who you ask, either the reformist wing of the Camarilla or an outside movement trying to demolish/replace it. They are also very closely identified with the gimmick of Clan Brujah, protection of the weak, strong sense of justice, self-sufficiency, anti-authoritarian rebel behavior and so on. Julian's modus operandi is NotSoDifferent from that of the Camarilla and he appears to hold a mostly neutral stance on them, helping or hurting as it benefits him, only disagreeing on one major point: how to handle the Masquerade.

* NotSoDifferent: He's a scheming neonate genius with no regard for human life versus a scheming elder with no regard for human life.

* NotSoDifferent: [[spoiler: Since she lives off imprisoned vampires, the logical conclusion is that she occasionally has to procure human blood for those, lest they run out completely. Just like a vampire.]]

* WhiteHairedPrettyGirl: Just look at her picture. Its dyed, though.

* LoveInterestTraitor: Becomes this if they romance [[spoiler:Lettow and/or Julian]] and then [[spoiler:sells out all the vampires on Tucson to the Second Inquisition during the final chapter.]]

* BadassInANiceSuit: You can buy really nice formalwear from the Covenant Pawn Shop: a Ring Jacket suit if male, or a Valentino dress if female, and an eclectic mixed-brand suit if nonbinary.

* FlyingDutchman: A Ravnos courier cannot rely on a single permanent haven, due to their clan bane. They must break into unoccupied homes, or make an arrangement with Madrigal Real Estate.
* HeroicSeductress: You can feed through sex and there's even an achievement for doing it three times or more.

* BadassInANiceSuit: You can buy a really nice suit from the Covenant Pawn Shop.

* BrokenMasquerade: [[spoiler: He believes the Masquerade is destined to fall for the not entirely wrong reason that [[invoked]]TechnologyMarchesOn and the surveillance state already knows they exist. They have to, instead, do a controlled crash.]]

A [=LaSombra=] blood trader, formerly a great power among the Sabbat, now working for the Camarilla.

The sire of the Courier if they are [=LaSombra=].

-->'''Courier:''' Is [the ghoul you just killed] dead?
-->'''Millicent:''' Well, his head sure looks dead. Let me go check on the rest of him, and yeah, sure thing [Courier], sure thing the rest of him is dead too.

* GloryDays: She'll lament to a Courier who's her childe that selling blood for the Camarilla is petty and meaningless compared to her nights as the aristocracy of the Sword of Caine, fighting to stop the antediluvians and unlocking the dark paths of enlightenment.

* BrokenMasquerade: [[spoiler: He believes the Masquerade is destined to fall for the not entirely wrong reason that TechnologyMarchesOn and the surveillance state already knows they exist. They have to, instead, do a controlled crash.]]

* TheIllegal: An illegal border crosser. This can be darkly lampshaded in the final chapter; if [[spoiler:the Courier kills him, then they won't bother to hide his body, reasoning that investigating the death of an undocumented immigrant will be very low on the police's priority list.]]

* SoleSurvivor: Of his family, by the time the Courier runs into him in the migrant camp.

* PaidHarem: A Chicago gangster moll before her Embrace. Her ghouls also serve as bodyguards.

! Anarchs
[[folder: Julian Sim]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/paint_7.png]]

A Banu Haqim from East Asia who immigrated to the United States and became fascinated with technology.

He is the sire of the Courier if they are a Banu Haqim.

* VillainProtagonist: You can be a truly monstrous character but don't fall to 0 Humanity.

* GiantFlyer: [[spoiler: Fights the Courier in the form of a giant golden eagle.]]

* ResignationsNotAccepted: If she's the Courier's Sire, then she sent her ghouls to kill them after the Courier cuts ties with her in the backstory. In the present, though, she's given up trying to enforce this.

* RelationshipValues: You can only side with him if you help him with several of his projects.

* VampireHunter: If he's not turned into a ghoul, he joins the Second Inquisition (and can potentially kill [[spoiler: the Courier]] in some endings). If he becomes a ghoul he still wants to hunt down the more monstrous Kindred out there, but is willing to work with a FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire.
* VanHelsingHateCrimes: Discussed and averted. He doesn't want all vampires destroyed and is actually willing to work with them, killing only the particularly monstrous ones. Also, he believes his primary goal should be saving people over killing vampires.

* KickTheDog: Has no problem exploitating Elin Olivecrona's migrant camp for blood to make himself rich.

* DissonantSerenity: Is the only vampire who doesn't take the Second Inquisition remotely seriously.

* ResignationsNotAccepted: If she's the Courier's Sire, then she sends her ghouls to kill them after the Courier cuts ties with her.

* BlatantLies: The Hunters she plans to fake her death with have no ties to the Second Inquisition. [[spoiler: They are a heavily-armed bunch of their finest agents.]]

* GoSeduceMyArchnemesis: Encourages the Courier to seduce Prince Lettow, male or female. [[spoiler: Because you carry the soul of his dead lover in you via diablerie.]]

* LetsGetDangerous: He's not really a fighter and prefers to rely on his brains, sorcery, or just cutting and running, but he's still a ''vampire''. He can potentially enter your haven to request use of your sink, having gotten covered in blood killing a few hunters and stuffing their bodies in a dumpster.

* NotEvilJustMisunderstood: Considered a monster by all, but when you meet the Lampago in [[spoiler: Biosphere Zero]], you can find through dialogue options (unlocked with the right skill points) that the Lampago feels it has suffered enough and just wants to be left alone in peace.

* HiddenDepths: Attempts to save as many humans as possible while also giving Kindred a place to safely feed.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: His Embrace of you to humiliate the Prince resulted in the Prince's overthrow, leading to years of chaos in the city.

* ButtMonkey: Your character starts as this, being forced to drag victims to a torporous Nosferatu Elder. A few years later, you've moved up to courier and that's a reasonably respected position (albeit not one with any power).

* HorrifyingHero: Even if you play as the nicest, most kind-hearted vampire ever, the fact remains you are a blood-drinking undead abomination. Especially true for the Nosferatu, Gangrel and Tremere Couriers.

* WeaponizedCar: [[spoiler: His Syrena, which is equipped with enough weapons and gadgets to make 007's Aston Martin green with envy.]]

* BerserkButton: Do ''not'' take away the funding for her projects.

* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Not only betrays her employees and the Camarilla [[spoiler: but turns you over to the Second Inquisition if you agree to help fake her death.]]

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Reveals to have cut ties with Jasper Knowles because his experiments on Kindred disgusted even her.

* PragmaticVillainy: Is working on creating genetically engineered blood substitutes for Kindred to feed on.

* VegetarianVampire: Believes that science can provide alternatives to regular Kindred feeding. Notable that she is ''not'' a FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire.

* EveryoneHasStandards: [[spoiler: Confesses to you that he killed Jasper Knowles not as part of some part of his usually quite elaborate plans but simply because the man's experiments utterly disgusted him. It comes off as one of the few genuine moments he has in the game.]]

* MoreThanMindControl: ''Of course'' he's trying to manipulate the Courier. Some of his manipulations run deeper than others. [[spoiler:He definitely intended for you to diablerize Aila, for instance, and may have tried other methods to make the Courier more susceptible to his influence]].

* YouHaveFailedMe: Averted. A Banu Haqim Courier mentions that he's rarely disappointed in failures of others, because he doesn't expect much from them in the first place. He is thus willing to overlook some of your actions [[spoiler: like freeing the migrants]] so long as you make it up to him later.
