True power lies not in wealth, but in the things it affords you.
Maximillian Strauss is an enigma. Some see him as a deeply sinister character; others argue that he’s downright noble (for a Tremere anyway). He prefers not to intervene directly, instead quietly reaching out through others to accomplish his goals. He seems to be a true partisan for both his clan and the Camarilla, in roughly that order; some say that Strauss was the one who pulled the trigger on LaCroix at the end of the 2004 crisis.
As a politician, Strauss is measured; he knows L.A. isn’t going to be won with force, and the city doesn’t rattle him the way it does younger Camarilla Kindred. “Young Kindred prefer anarchy,” he has been known to muse, “but as they get a little older they rapidly lose their taste for chaos. So if we promise safe hunting and stable domains, and then deliver on those promises, the Camarilla’s victory is inevitable. It’s only a matter of time and demonstration.” It’s not a flashy solution, but a string of failed, “brilliant” Princes shows he might be right…
