Have you ever been to C. MOORE'S COFFEE?

Danger, literature ahead.

Hi! I was revisiting VtM:B and finally questioned myself, who lived in apartment 505 and 506... and I found some interesting clues to WHO ARE YOU.


From the vtmb.wikia:
505: The apartment itself belongs to a Keegan, who is not seen or mentioned in the game and has nothing of value inside.
506: Apartment 506 is home to a Moore, who also cannot be traced in the game. This room is not accessible to the player.
507: Marian Murietta lives there.
508: The apartment number 508 is the haven for the fledgling player character.


Who is Moore?
I don't know. But I know that, next to Santa Monica's Medical Clinic, we have a (but innacessible) Coffee Shop owned by C. Moore. Please note that C. Moore and whoever lives in apartment 506, may or may not be the same person (thus the "a Moore").

Who is C. Moore?
Owner of a Coffee Shop at Santa Monica, there is not much information on him, except that he has a BAIL BOND AT ARTHUR KILPATRICK'S!
Actually, his name is Caveletti, as seen in Hollywood's bus stop map. Even thought not mentioned in Santa Monica's busmap, in Hollywood there's a sign IDENTICAL to the one next to the Medical Clinic. Who knows why the places have different busmap names...

Who is Keegan?
The closest I got to him/her so far is some "Thornton, K" at the Administration files at the Medical Clinic. The K could stand for Keegan, but that's all I got. (and that Mr. K is a perv).
Special note: I don't think Thornton K. is our main character, because Thornton K. is male, even if playing a female PC.

Who is Nivbed? Wait, who?
If you go to the Tremere Chantry, you can see on the mailbox's nameplate, it's written Nivbed. You could say "oh, the previous owner of the room, they didn't remove it", but if you go to the Ground 0 Lanhouse at Hollywood and search celebrities, IT'S THERE. Nivbed is a someone and "this artist" (note that gender is not specified) lives in West Hollywood.

Who is The Priestess?
I believe it's Ming Xiao, but I didn't really care since it didn't give clues to who is the main character. "The Priestess" appear's at Mandarin's email. She is the one that captured Barabus.


Since Keegan didn't pop up anywhere I searched (and I searched a lot!), there are not enough clues to just go and say it's the main character. BUT, one can tell that he/she lives close to the first PC Haven, and if you go 2+2, say that, after a friendly visit, the loyal and upstanding member of the vampire society wanted to show you something...

K. Thornton is not Keegan. You don't write only your first name on the mailbox.

Nivbed is the nickname of one of the developers. You find things like this all over the game if you know where to look.

Ever listened to Wong Ho? Ming is priestess to chinatown. And anyway there are only two groups who would employ someone for developing methods to kill vampires: The Kuei Jin and the Inquisition. Which one could have a priestess?

What about he Fu Syndicate, don't they kill vampires too? After experimenting on them of course.

Interesting here is that this shop is actually mentioned on the bus stop maps, together with the Smoke Shop, although both didn't even had door until I added them in the UP! So were these two locations that Troika planned to add but never did?

This is a mistake of your part. The Cafe Cavoletti is clearly the building besides the Coffee Shop in Hollywood and marked so on the maps...

Yeah, Cafe Caveletti is the cafe LaCroix wants destroyed.
Thing is, C. Moore's Coffee shop, even thought this time has doors, is tied to the Lucky Star hotel (bus map).

Keegan is the name on the first haven
Therefore, the Player is Keegan

Seems too much of a jump to me.

...of which the Mandarin is the boss. And he is employed by "Priestess"

Lack of background on this character is a hint. Living close to the (my assumption) sire's apartment, another.

That makes him an ex tenant, no?

Seems a tad risky to put them back there if they lived there when alive

Well, from LaCroix' point of view not a bad idea: Fledgling breaks the masquerade, so I can have their head cut off.

Depends how big the Masquerade breach is and how much work it leaves him with.
