"Of course, please remember, as we have discussed in the past: nothing sensitive is to be written down even in code. If you are to wish to meet Kindred, you will have him or her introduced to you by a vetted third party. Some of these Childer would not know discretion if it ..." 'Took a shit in their mouths' is the phrasing behind the man's lips, but poise censors it: "were to shout in their face."

Overview

Charles Shen-Li Pang is an esteemed member of the Praxis, a little over 200 years dead, from Canton, China, sired in part of some abandoned attempt at establishing a Camarilla presence in Hong Kong. His wealth and connections made him a target for ghouling and grooming. When it was time to embrace Pang, he was "raised" in London, released half a century later. Pang has been in San Francisco since the 1950s, profiting off of engineering and construction company contracts during the city's major redevelopment and freeway construction phase. As such, he's able to get his hands on a surprising gallery of things for the creative willing to purchase them.

Chargen Idea Resources

• Destruction Worker: Charles Pang runs an operation that provides the basis for the Destruction Worker Camarilla chargen hook: You're an employee of Charles Pang, CEO of SLC Consulting Engineers, an architectural and engineering firm and construction company. You just don't work in the office. Or on the job site. Well. It's a different kind of job site. Whether you're a courier, a hitman, or some other sort of merc, the Camarilla knows to call on you to get the shit done and even pays you for it, even though you're on the papers as an overpaid bricklayer, freighter, or -- get this -- "day laborer", heh. Your nightly role as a mercenary will sometimes put you in the Sheriff's pile of straws to draw for Deputy, and when those nights come it's time to pay your undead levee to the feudal system. When Duty doesn't call, though, Pang puts you to work with 14K and the Wah Ching. Occasionally you'll run into trouble from 14K's rivals, Sun Yee On, and if you're particularly unlucky you'll run into their Sabbat associates. But hey, at least you can charge a premium for those jobs.

"Boon -records-? My dear." Charles shakes his head. "I do not know how it is done in Vienna, but here, it is integrity and witness. And what we witnessed when Mister Ward was captured was Luna owing a boon. For what, I'm afraid I cannot say..." His intonation lingers as if that sentence isn't over with, the subtext clear: he won't say it for free.
