Crisis of Conscience
Nathaniel doesn't believe for a second that "Khalid" is Khalid, and makes a desultory effort at "searching" for the former Primogen, whose mealy-mouthed maunderings about "Golconda" and "the salvation of the Cainite soul" would make Nathaniel vomit if it were physically possible. He pretends solicitation for his elder's distress and desire for peace but secretly holds him and his pretentions toward morality beneath contempt, not least because they sometimes seem so damned sincere. Khalid may be an utter failure at the pursuit of forgiveness and enlightenment but his willingness to keep trying gnaws at the part of Nathaniel's mind and soul.
Bordruff hates everyone. He is actively plotting the final deaths of every lick in Chicago, preferably every lick everywhere, and he barely troubles to hide it half the time.
He particularly loathes Jackson (whom he perceives as having stolen the throne from him, no matter how unlikely his ability to take and hold that throne might have been), Damien (because he should be sheriff), and Khalid (see: Primogen, should have been).
Nathaniel has distinctly unwholesome designs on Mercy. Despite the fact she's a damned Papist, the pathetic little thing seems to have an instinctual grasp on the inherently loathsome nature of the Kindred, a thing of which he approves. He approves still more of her strong ties to her church, ties he'd very much like to employ to his own ends.
