I would like to submit a character to "Forged in Steel". James L Sheridan is a middle manager in the Ventrue controlled drug distribution organization who has worked his way up from the bottom:
You could say I got in on the ground floor. It was 1982 when crack first started to hit the streets and you KNOW the Ventrue were there. Well, I didn't. Not for a long time. I didn't want to deal, but circumstances forced it on me. First I sold on the street. Through ambition, smarts, a bit of luck, and *NEVER* using my product, I was soon running half a dozen street level "representatives". Pretty soon it's 1985 and I'm ready to grab the next wrung on the ladder . That level of responsibility required unshakable loyalty. The kind that comes with becoming a ghoul. Five years of unwavering service later, all while riding the tiger that is our South Side distribution network, my hard work was recognized. Now two years after my embrace, it is I who is running ghouls. My suit is Armani. My Benz is black. And I mean business.
