Henry Lange – Mekhet/Lancea Sanctum

Little is known about Henry Lange before his arrival in York. After his intercession between the Invictus and the American forces that seized the fort, Lange became a permanent fixture of the court. He and his small lineage were often seen discussing the future of Toronto with the Invictus at such intensity that none were surprised when Prince Braun named Lange to his advisor; forcing Hollinger out into the wings. After the fire of 1904, understandably a rift occurred between these once close covenants. Having escorted their founder to safety, the descendents of the Lange lineage have maintained their refusal to accept that he could have been across town killing Prince Braun before witnesses. In the days following the murder they proclaimed loudly that a full investigation should be made of all of the Kindred of the Domain, but their pleas were met with stiff assurances from the Invictus that Henry Lange was responsible, the blood hunt soon followed. Ordered to remain loyal to their new Prince, Henry Lange made his blood swear not to follow, and to keep their distance from the violence that was soon to visit him. In present nights there is a palatable tension when the lineage of Lange interacts with any member of the Invictus.

Anastasia Marek – Mekhet/Lancea Sanctum

As the eldest childe of Lange’s brood still present within the Domain, and the attempts of reciprocation by Eliza King to the Lange lineage, commentators of the court fully believed that Anastasia Marek would become a force to be reckoned with within the ranks of the Lance Sanctum. But her sire’s death had a dramatic impact upon her actions in the decades to come, erecting walls between her and the rest of the community. Anastasia attack upon the visiting Prince of Montreal, Yvonne Dorat, was blamed upon her self imposed solitude. Had she come to terms with her sire’s death they speculate she would now be a dominant presence of the Elysium.

Gerald Lockett - Mekhet/Lancea Sanctum

The youngest of Lange's childer, Gerald was inducted into the ranks both for his religious fanaticism and sharp political mind, his future in the Toronto Domain seemed to be assured. The fire, the death of the Prince, and the fact that anyone would even believe the claim that Henry Lange was responsible for that death drove the young kindred first from the court; then finally from the city itself. Enamored with the philanthropist movement of the late 1800s, Gerald brought such practice with him to San Francisco along with an ideology of the bourgeois showing their wealth by greater and greater acts of charity. San Francisco has since Gerald's arrival has become the epicenter of charitable organizations.
