In the Early 2000s, New Orleans was one of the major holdings of the Clans of Caine. The Camarilla Sect held the city with what many kindred called a "slippery Iron-grip." The City was under constant threat from the Sabbat Packs that lurked in the city, to anarchs that fought against the Prince's Rule, as well as other supernatural threats from Cathayans to Infernalist, werewolves and other Fera, and Magi and Hunters who sought to bring them down.

 

New Orleans was the site of many battles for supremacy.  The Camarilla was most often at odds with Clan Giovanni, before the formation of the Hecata, the clans of the Dead.  The Conflict came to its peak when members of the Camarilla decided to burn down the Giovanni Estate while many were outside of the city.  This provocation was answered by one of the Giovanni Elders, who attended one of the Camarilla's meetings to declare intentions to seize part of the city.  This caused tensions to escalate, and loyalties to come into question.

 

Many of the Camarilla clan members, those dissatisfied with the Prince's rule, sought to join the Giovanni Clan's efforts indirectly, while others decided that the Giovanni was more of a threat to the Prince than others. Truces were called with Anarchs, that they could focus their efforts on taking down the 'Secret Prince' of New Orleans, though they did not expect that other Independent Clans, such as the Ministry, clan Ravnos, and even the Cathayans, under their new Ancestor, would ally with Giovanni; making this war more volatile than originally anticipated. 

​

The War ended once the Giovanni elder was called away for business outside of the city. Without him at the helm, the Camarilla, was able to seize the assets owned by Giovanni and implant those loyal to the Prince in positions of power that directly opposed the would-be challenger to the Prince of New Orleans. The Cathayans themselves focused on holding Little Asia despite this coup, and many of those allies of Giovanni again renewed their loyalties to the Prince of New Orleans. However, upon the Giovanni's return, the Hecata had taken the place of his Clan, with one of their Elder members declaring allegiance to the Prince, bringing the New Orleans branch of Clan Hecata into the Camarilla's fold.

​

Many called for retaliation against the "Honorary primogen", but the Giovanni had other plans.  By the Start of the Corporate Wars, the Giovanni Clan had grown into a major Corporation within different cities of the Americas, under the same Namesake. The Camarilla suffered greatly during this time.  The Second and Third Corporate Wars saw many deaths of elders from various clans. Those remaining Elders have either gone into hiding: either via Torpor, to awaken in an age where humans are not actively on the hunt for their fangs, or simply refusing to interact with this new age of Technological advances, while  others are leading the charge in attempting to restore what was lost, or adapt to a world that is growing less and less tolerant of Kindred Machinations. 

 

The Masquerade is no longer a simple law created by the Camarilla to keep their existence secret from humanity, but it is necessity.  The rules of the game have changed, and Vampires now face more than the occasional political moves against one another. Many a careless Neonate have found themselves waking up in a corporate laboratory, with scientists standing over them on the dissection table.  The one thing that all Kindred agree is that this is a fate worse than death.
