Tijuana's Bishops

Don Miguel Castro, The Shadow of the Past

Don Miguel Castro, so called by the Lasombra of the city, is also called His Excellency Bishop Miguel Castro, Bishop of the Business District Diocese (Its to the north, bordering along the Tijuana Canal). A Remnant of the Spanish Dons, Bishop Castro occasionally speaks of the harsh conditions of his youth in Extremadura, and the excitement of the conquest. Whether he is telling the truth, or not, is for anyone to judge. What can be seen, however, is that the Lasombra Bishop is an urbane individual, civilized and polite. However, like the Hidalgos of old, he cherishes the art of war and his honor seemingly above al things. Conservative, Castro's Diocese, the business district is the best-defended area within the city. Tourists find the area safe, merchants find the area palatable and the Lasombra, Tzimisce, Toreador Antitribu and Ventrue Antitribu fill the area proving that their more disciplined manner of defense has been rather effective.

Short, Castro shoes every sign of being a Spanish Conquistador. He governs his area with an iron fist within the velvet glove, often calling esbats at his own colonial style manse. Its rumored that he does not take disappointments at all well, and more then one Ducti or Priest who has disappointed him have simply disappeared into the Tijuana underground never to return. Rumors continue on, saying that Castro is perhaps the harshest of Bishops on the packs that follow him--demanding discipline and nigh military training.

Bishop Louis Bellaton, The Feral Moderator

Perhaps one of the Canites who lived within Tijuana the longest, the androgenus Bellaton is known to have been French, and still speaks occasionally with a Southern French accident. Bellaton, of the various Bishops, is the easy going of the Bishops and frankly it sometimes is hard to figure the occasionally gender bending Gangrel as being a Bishop at all. Bellaton's Auctoris Ritae are infamous in Tijuana and beyond, drawing Cathari Nomadic Packs from the United States and Mexico to participate on occasion. The parties are literally wet and wild ranging from normal mixers to full crazed "Blood" ball gun games running in the streets of her Centro Diocese

Outside of the parties and Ritae, however, Bellaton is all business--literally. His/Her packs seem to enjoy the middle road, vying for power through various means but, for the most part, seemingly contact to allow the Sect to continue on the way it has been without much alteration. Bellaton encourages this, offering his/her own Cathedral to be used as a central meeting place for the Bishops of Tijuana. Due to this arrangement, the Bellaton Cathedral has become known as "the Centro Cathedral" and is often the scene of Bellatons wild orgiastic blood parties.

Gail Hazard, The Rebel Without a Cause

No one seems to know where the short, fiery Pander came from. No one really seems to want to ask her, either. With youthful exuberance, fists of iron and a few diableries under her belt, Bishop Hazard is literally the Slum Lord of Tijuana controlling, or to be more accurate refusing to control, the Slums and Ghetto's of the city. It is known that Hazard has only one real goal--to remove all elders from the face of the earth...anything else that gets in the way of this goal she considers to be the enemy...a fact that has caused many problems in the past.

As an outspoken Loyalist, Hazard gives mere lip service to the Code of Milan and does almost nothing to keep the packs in her territory under any control--her view is simply that the strongest will prevail and, when the time is ready, the strongest will be unleashed on San Diego. Due to her proximity to Bellaton and Cicatriz's turf, she seemingly has had continual border skirmishes with them--however, her true hatred is left for Don Miguel Castro, and the two are genuinely not fond of each other.

The packs in Hazard's Turf have only one rule--survival. They tend to follow the models of various Gangs, taking turf and holding it until a stronger pack/gang comes alone. The model seems to work for Hazard and she generally does not do anything to change the outcomes of the almost continual street warfare that occurs in her area.

Slums Diocese: most of the internal city not held by the other two Bishops. The area is in constant flux.

Cicatriz, The Voice of the Future

And..then there was Cicatriz. Cut off from the rest of the City, the Nosforatu Noddist took the distant docks and underground as his domain...leaving his Noddist followers to wallow in the filth of humanity and to leave them to it. The most ritualistic of all the Diocese, Cicatriz holds a formal order in his domain; his experience with the Path of Power and the Inner voice is vastly evident in the way he deals with his packs, but the over all feel is of a cloistered group: Quiet, studious, scholarly...and ready to explode at any second in unholy fury.

Of the four Bishops, Cicatriz has been the one pushing for the taking of San Diego the hardest and has made it the central message of all of his Sermons. Taking a cue from the ancient Romans, each and every Sermon of Caine he recites he finishes with the words, "And San Diego must fall to the Sabbat." His followers have taken up this message and are attempting a far and wide propaganda campaign of religious zeal in an attempt to push the city towards outright war against their Anarch neighbors.

Docks Diocese: Not picture and not techinically part of Tijuana, it is further off to the West.
