The primary antagonist, a French Ventrue of at least | The primary antagonist, a French Ventrue of at least 180 years of age, though he looks to be in his early 20s, LaCroix is the Prince of the L.A. Camarilla, which only recently moved back in to the Los Angeles area. Once a soldier serving [[wp:Napoleon I of France|Napoléon]], he is now the head of the LaCroix Foundation, and resides in the Venture Tower in the game’s 'Downtown' area, commanding the city from his penthouse office. Aside from providing several of the storyline's main quests, he offers several sidequests through e-mail, and can grant you access to a dwelling in the Skyline apartment building (all clans except for Tremere and Nosferatu). | ||
A small error in the modeling of the character, LaCroix has no fangs, even though he is a vampire. The final model was designed and the artist simply forgot the fangs. | |||

She can be found in Santa Monica at the Asylum club, which she runs with her sister Therese, the Baron of Santa Monica, who is also Malkavian, as displayed by her lofty attitude and hatred for the Nosferatu and the fact that she calls herself a Ventrue. They share an interesting love-hate relationship and, as the player eventually discovers, the same body. Jeanette turns out to be a personality concocted by Therese as an escape from the sexual abuse she endured at the hands of her father made real by the Malkavian traits of vampirism. The player is given the opportunity to either help destroy ("kill") one of these personalities or to help the two sisters reconcile and coexist peacefully. The resulting merged personality is referred to as ''[[wp:Tourette syndrome|Tourette]]'' in the game documentation. It is possible for characters of either gender to sleep with Jeanette, depending upon the choices made by the player in dealing with her, the most important of which is to ensure Jeanette survives intact. It's also possible for Therese, alone, to be saved. If Jeanette alone is saved during the sister's conflict, Santa Monica will remain under the control of the Anarchs. If Tourette or just Therese is saved, Santa Monica will be ruled by the Camarilla. They are voiced by Grey DeLisle. | ||

A bloodthirsty vampire of | A bloodthirsty vampire of an unspecified clan (possibly [[wp:Nagaraja (World of Darkness)|Nagaraja]]), Pisha can be found in the basement of the abandoned hospital in downtown Los Angeles, where she traps unwitting humans and eats them. Unapologetically a predator, she sends the player on several optional sidequests - for which the rewards are unique items that enhance the player's abilities. The player could also choose to fight her. | ||

Lily was a young girl who liked to hang out in the Santa Monica diner where she met a vampire named Rolf Totem who was from Europe visiting California. He embraced her during the course of their relationship, but she did not become a full vampire, instead becoming a thin blood. Because the Thin Bloods are considered a sign of the vampire apocalypse, Rolf's clan would not accept Lily and Rolf left California shortly afterwards leaving Lily behind. Her only solace was spending her nights in the Santa Monica diner. She met E, a surfer visiting Santa Monica for a major surfing tournament and the two fell in love. However, E. was unaware that Lily was a vampire and she accidentally embraced him during one of their dates. After Lily told E. what he had become, his initial reaction was enough to turn Lily away. Shortly afterwards Lily went missing and E. slowly came to terms with his feelings for her even though she was gone. During their time apart Lily had tried to rob the Santa Monica Blood Bank and was caught by one Vandal and used as a 'blood doll'. With the player's help, the two can get back together and decide to live their afterlives at a retreat owned by Lily's parents where they can be together. | ||
