THE ARSENE SOCIETY

The Arsene Society regards crime not just as a means to an end but as an essential institution of society, striving to elevate it to an art form practiced by true masters. Our members range from con artists and pickpockets to cat burglars and mobsters, all operating under the strict veil of The Masquerade. We provide a robust support network for Kindred to hone their skills, transitioning from mere criminals to skilled thieves. The Arsene Society values guile, cunning, and a flair for the esoteric, seeking to expand its network with like-minded individuals who embody these qualities.

In the universe of Vampire the Masquerade and Darkness Emergent, the Ravnos clan, known for their affinity for deception and trickery, are natural allies of the Arsene Society, bringing a sense of mischief and cunning to the group. The Lasombra clan, with their shadowy influence and mastery of manipulation, also fits well within the society, contributing to the strategic and clandestine operations that define the Arsene ethos.

As we grow our ranks, we invite those who excel in the art of the con, who appreciate the subtleties of deception, and who understand that crime, when done right, is a true art form.

Las Vegas - The Arsene Society

What's better than free money? Money that's free and “donated” by a jerk. Richard Keith was a Ventrue member of the Camarilla and a holdover from the days of pre-Anarch Las Vegas who controlled the Orleans Casino. The triumvirate allowed him to operate, as he wasn't a real threat and he was a known entity for a lot of gamblers both mortal and supernatural. That was until he insulted the Triumvirate for the first and last time.

The 3 leaders gave the Arsene Society leave to rob the casino blind - how could they pass up the chance? Throughout Friday night, the Society members cozied up to the staff of the Orleans casino. Stealing a uniform from one member, they had a way in. Other members put heat on themselves by playing cards well enough to get the attention of the pit bosses. As part of a new Society member's inaugural mission, they hacked the security feeds, giving the group the go-ahead to move forward with the heist. The heist itself proceeded smoothly without so much as a single hiccup - much smoother than the job they performed in Chicago and a lot more profitable by far.

In the end, poor sad Richard however was left broke and destitute. His injury was compounded when one of the members of the Society with the help of some wealthy friends bought the property from out underneath him. With the casino cleared out and its assets obtained, many members of the Arsene Society walked away a damn sight richer than they walked in. Those who already counted themselves among the rich spread the wealth to their friends. After all, the thrill of the game and the perfect execution is what they are here for.
