Public Timeline
Known HistoryBackground: The Southernmost Illinois (Mt. Vernon, IL) Anarchs were a fractured bunch - none of the Barons trusting the others. First was Roger Wachowski, who claimed to be Baron of Southern Illinois, a motorcycle-riding Brujah from Carbondale. Next was Grayson, the old man Caitiff Baron from Mt. Vernon. Supported by his brood and a handful of hangers-on, Grayson thought Roger was a joke. Finally, there was Lucas, the self-proclaimed Baron of Cape Girardeau, a Brujah maker of big plans who claimed his Barony only after Grayson was knocked into torpor defending Mt. Vernon from the Sabbat. Stiletto wanting to be apart from the local politics joined with Tonya and her childe Sticker to form a gang named the Blue Herons consisting of like-minded anarchs. Subsequently, Lucas was executed by Roger for selling out Mt. Vernon and Grayson to the Sabbat. The events with Lucas burned out Grayson who took up with his mentor, Uncle Buck, and became nomadic RVers. Grayson was replaced as Bishop of Mt. Vernon by a Malkavian named Kirstin. Meanwhile, the Camarilla was trying to get organized under Prince Winston Adams, to reclaim all the territory it lost to a Sabbat siege three years ago. However, a combination of werewolves and demons (and maybe an angel or two) put paid to those plans, killing Prince Adams, and forcing the Camarilla to abandon Carbondale proper. Roger Wachowski relocated to Bloomington, IL. In response, the Anarchs of Mt. Vernon bunkered down with a nervous eye to the South. Nothing came north though. In the meantime, Stiletto's connections with the Peoria Anarchs pulled him into a brewing conflict with the Prince there, William Dunstin. His involvement with that affair brought him to the attention of the Knights Errant, who began trying to recruit him. He had a heart-to-heart with Tonya and Sticker, and with things being calm in Mt. Vernon and Stiletto having interests in Anarch events on a broader front, the Blue Herons disbanded, allowing Stiletto to join the Knights Errant. As a Knight Errant, in 2011, Stiletto participated in fighting Neo-Carthaginians and Baali in Washington, D.C., and met with other Sects in New Orleans. Since then, he fought beside the Knights and some other Anarchs in Rockland, before spending much of late 2012 on the East Coast supporting Phillip in his Barony. With things as stable in Annapolis, Stiletto returned to Mt. Vernon and began to bring himself up to speed on events there in the last six months. In 2013, Stiletto participated in the Battle of Hartford with his fellow Knight Errant, Erik Logan. When the Knights Errant disbanded on April 1, 2014, Stiletto originally returned to Mt. Vernon, but, by mid-2015 was seen roaming in the vicinity of Flagstaff, Arizona, in the company of an attractive, but very young, Hispanic woman. By mid-2018, Stiletto was seen first in Gainesville, Georgia, talking to Baron Razor and griping about the nearby Camarilla. From Gainesville, GA, he apparently went to Gainesville, FL. On August 17, 2018, he was seen at a meeting of the Barony and announced his intention to reside there, whereupon he was immediately vouched for by Mul and Delilah Monroe. By the end of September, the Blue Herons had folded and Stiletto and Viridiana joined with Nairi Riad to form The Aerie. When nominated by Delilah, Stiletto ran unsuccessfully for Counselor of Gainesville, creating a cloud of suspicion. He doesn't seem bothered by the loss, satisfied to simply do his time to prove himself as a worthy resident of the Barony. He has been seen lending his martial weight to the Barony both in dealing with a sentient fungus in the sewers and battling a Sabbat incursion. Less is known about what support he may be giving behind the scenes.
