14 of 14 facts shown
Property Magnate
Alan's current posture is toward investing in the tangible. To that end, he is plunging more and more of his paper wealth into material, especially by investing in artworks and property. In doing so, he hopes to foster good relations with the Toreador, who have an ever-strengthening presence in the city.
Dancing with the Stars
Sovereign shows great kindness and friendship to any Kindred he meets
who he feels can get him an in with important members of the court or who have financial contacts outside the city. He not only focuses on making those friends, but on making their friends his friends. He will show great interest in the business of anyone who wishes to talk to him about it and he will seek to indebt them to him either financially or by boon.
Dreams of Patricide
One of his ultimate goals remains to destroy his sire. He has heard tales that drinking the blood of one's sire adds their power to your own and he feels, with the power of Ballard, he could finally make himself safe. He also has enough knowledge of his business empire to assume control, having run large parts of it himself for long enough.
The Landlord
The one thing that hasn't changed is that Alan is a source of easy finance to Kindred and is the landlord for many youthful Kindred and even coteries seeking shelter. While some bold types may think it possible to simply take such a loan lightly due to his less than martial aspect, there are many stories of young Kindred who find themselves weighted down in the bottom of the lake when they awoke one night after failing to make payments.
Kevin JacksonEsteem
Alan's closest and most amiable relationship is with Prince Jackson. He holds the Prince in great esteem for maintaining his position as Seneschal since Lodin's death, and speaks of Jackson almost as a surrogate sire.
Aluc Romas de LeonBusiness
Aluc has become a valuable business associate of Sovereign, keeping him apprised of any valuable pieces which become available to invest in.
Horatio BallardHatred
Alan maintains a close watch for any signs of his reclusive sire, Horatio Ballard's return to court. He has worked hard to recover his position and doesn't want the old toad pulling it out from underneath him again. Alan continually briefs the Prince against him, subtly, with tales of his wastefulness.
