Character Profile: Dana Pearlman

Tech-savvy networker

“Oh yeah, I know someone who knows someone who can help with that.”

Clan: Mekhet
Covenant: Invictus

Titles: Priscus of Clan Mekhet (City Status 3)
Court: High

Priscus Pearlman doesn’t fit your idea of a typical computer geek, but you can be sure she has the know-how to make your computer dance if she needs to. She’s a big deal in the local tech entrepreneurs scene, playing their social connections with as much skill as their Internet connections through her dining club, ‘The Network’.

If you want to know something about somebody, there are worse places to start, though information flows both ways, and Priscus Pearlman certainly knows its value. You might have to pony up something she likes before she’ll tell you anything, but it’ll definitely be worth the wait. Priscus Pearlman has served as Clan Priscus for a while, a clear climber in the Invictus ranks, but that doesn't make you a Priscus. She clearly knows how things work inside Clan Mekhet. I hear it’s Masks all the way down.

Likes: Encyclopaedias, meeting new people, innovative data-mining solutions
Dislikes: Dial-up, Internet trolls, 4chan

Rumours:

• Dana seems cool, but someone launched a cyberattack on her company a few years ago. Not only did it fail, but she also hunted the person down through everyone they knew and ruined their life. Not someone you want to tangle with.
• The previous Mekhet Priscus used to have the Mask of the Nexus. Now Dana does and he has the Mask of the Ash Pile.
• Dana, as described by the other Prisci:
• Adrian: ‘oh yeah, Dana’s great! Though she got my phone number before we’d even met...’
• Maxwell: ‘an extremely useful individual’
• Sati: ‘we often agree on things, though our aims sometimes differ’
• Simone: ‘Oh, Dana. Personally, I worry about that much information being in one Kindred’s hands, but who am I to say? I’m sure she’s very responsible…’
• Dana, like Batman, has a file on every single person she knows filled with their strengths and weaknesses. Let’s hope that never falls into the wrong hands.
