Hope of Apollo

Common Cabal • Mysterium

A cabal of Mysterium involved in the arts (including art dealing), Hope of Apollo specializes in the recovery of artifacts thought to simply be art. Most of the time, however, they simply run the Canterbury Theater in Lambeth, South London, which specializes in entertainments ranging from musicians to short theater plays, from Wild West shows to burlesque shows.

Members

• Jonas, Acanthus. Jonas runs the Canterbury. Moreover, he is a well-known art dealer among the upper class and a fence of stolen artwork among the underworld. He is a complete aesthete, treasuring only one experience after another, experiencing the world in a thousand more subtle ways than others can, thanks to the synesthesia he has developed as a result of his initiation into the Pygmalion Society. (Status: Order •••; Mastery: Adept 2º [Fate, Mind; Legacy: Pygmalion Society)
• Ishtar, Mastigos. Gorgeous, sultry and utterly intoxicating, Ishtar is a burlesque dancer. She headlines the Canterbury's burlesque shows, and entertains many a lover when she isn't performing. No man who looks down on her is permitted in her boudoir, however — she must be worshipped. (Status: Mysterium •; Mastery: Adept 1º [Mind])
• Nero, Obrimos. Overweight and balding, Nero is not a pleasant man to look on. His music, however, is amazing — fiery and passionate, he can make his violin weep, laugh or cry out in fury. He is also a skilled pyromancer. (Status: Mysterium •; Mastery: Disciple 1º [Forces])
