11 of 11 facts shown
Hungry for Power
Bennett is Adze's successor, heir apparent to the Nosferatu's businesses, if the deal comes to fruition. But, he's growing impatient. The transfer of power is happening too slowly for Steadman's tastes. And, it doesn't help that vampires like Alan Sovereign are in his ear fanning the flames of dissent. Steadman wants the club for himself and will do what it takes to achieve that goal.
Puppy Love
Bennett has also started seeing Erzulie's protégé, Bianca Maldonado. He is developing feelings for Bianca and wants to Embrace the fashion designer, much to Erzulie's chagrin.
Mortal Ties
Only a fledgling, Bennett's connection to his mom and his mortal friends is still strong. He still feels a vital link to his own businesses and he feels pain whenever he sees Adze about to run an illegal operation through one of them. He's still young to this game, but already wishes he hadn't got into bed with the Nosferatu. He's looking for someone who might help him break free.
AdzeMawla 4, Mixed Emotions
Adze is Steadman's Mawla and surrogate father. Adze was a myth on the streets as few people ever met him person. The Nosferatu's legend cast a very long shadow. To have such a man take interest in your affairs, good or bad, meant that you were doing something right. Steadman has the utmost respect for Adze…and a healthy fear for the old vampire as well.
Alan SovereignTempting
Sovereign made his way to the Red Noº 5 recently with offers of investment and Ventrue allegiance. Bennett told the Blue Blood he'd consider the offer, and has yet to report it back to Adze.
