Introduction[ edit ]


"Sinto como se estivesse sempre prestes a acordar." — Fernando Pessoa


Jacqueline “Jack" Silva was raised in the vibrant streets of São Paulo, born the only child in a small family turned upside down by a father with a penchant for yelling, drinking, gambling, and whoring. Those predilections split the family up, and Jack's mother whisked her child away to London to start over.

When Jack's mother passed away from an aggressive lung cancer when Jack was only sixteen, she turned to crime to make ends meet, slowly working up from a petty theft ring to organizing her own jobs, and eventually to being a broker between those who did the stealing and those who did the buying.

Now, Jack is a savvy operator in the shadowy underbelly of London and a fence who specializes in stolen art, priceless artifacts, and high-end contraband. With contacts scattered amongst both thieves and the upper crust types who are eager to get their hands on unique relics no matter where they're from, she possesses a sharp wit, a disarming charm, and a discerning business sense.

As she has increasingly become more involved in the high-end art world, including interfacing with museums, galleries, and well-to-do auction houses, she's done an admirable job of keeping her criminal fence work sequestered from the rest of her life. Of course, it's not the only secret she keeps.

RP Hooks[ edit ]
  • Brazilian — Born and raised in São Paulo, Jack was only ten when she moved to London but she still feels a closely held affinity for her motherland.
  • Black Market — She makes her living as a fence, selling stolen art, artifacts, and contraband. It’s an opportunistic vocation and for the right price, there are very few things beyond her reach.
  • "Art Advisor" — Jack's cover is as an art advisor, someone who helps people curate pieces for a collection, but she knows so much about art and art history that it's not terribly far removed from the truth.
  • High Society - Always on the lookout for the less scrupulous and ridiculously wealthy collectors, Jack can commonly be found at high society events, art galas, charity auctions, and other cultured happenings.
  • Friends in Low Places - But on the other hand, she has gained a not-insubstantial amount of notoriety on the criminal side of London for her work as a fence, and she's well-allied with many unsavory types.

and...

  • Supernatural Vitality — She never gets sick and has always resolved her own injuries very quickly. Uncommonly quickly. Weirdly quickly.
  • Laying on Hands - She's only recently learned that she has a preternatural ability to heal others of their injuries, too.
  • Delicious - Her blood is particularly appealing to the Kindred, not that she's aware of it.
  • Consor - Jack's introduction to the world of magick had a rocky start, but she's learning quickly as a Consor for the Circle of St. Herodias.
