[b]Name:[/b] Cameron Noel
[b]Clan:[/b] Ventrue
[b]Generation:[/b] 8th

Noel is no novice to the unlife. Sired long ago in the Old World, Noel spent much of his unlife as a cog in the Camarilla machine of Paris. More a path of least resistance than an actual devotion, what really inspired Noel was the opera and the way art and politics mixed so frequently in the salons of Parisian nightlife. The first time he saw a motion picture, the young Kindred knew genius when he saw it. When he arrived in turn of the century Los Angeles and the neophyte Hollywod, he was devastated to learn there were already Kindred on the scene, most notably Isaac Abrams and Louis Fortier. 

In Los Angeles Noel finds himself not a young Kindred, but an elder. And though he has always been happy to spend all his time in the never-ending machinisms of modern Hollywood, recent chaos provided an opening for Cameron to strike out and end both Abrams and Fortier, consolidating his influence and power within Hollywood. Though he believes there are greater, older, Kindred secretly pulling the ultimate chords of power within Hollywood, Noel also believes he was allowed to put down Abrams and Fortier and gain that larger foothold in Hollywood by those secret elder Kindred he presumes exist. Secretly, this is Cameron Noel's reason for feeling bold enough and strong enough in Los Angeles to declare himself the Prince of Los Angeles. 

After the fall of Crofter, many overt Camarilla supporters have begun to find themselves in Noel's camp, as Noel begins to build his power base in the city, casting one role after another in what Noel hopes will be his ultimate premiere.
