For example, an influential lawyer in one of the city's leading firms, a high ranking government employee with the clearance to expedite or approve immigration applications, a foreign diplomat or ambassador or the political deputy of a given district.

-As a former Sabbat member, Marie-Helene may seem like a controversial pick at first glance. The truth, however, is much more complex; Marie-Helene was forced into the Sabbat, yet she felt she never belonged, and even abhorred the sect that granted embraced her. She would become a spy and informant for Prince Annabelle of Quebec City, and after the Night of Ashes, Marie-Helene fled Montreal in the hopes of joining the Camarilla that she had served in secret for decades. Unfortunately, Marie-Helene was a rebel and an activist, especially by Ventrue standarts. Soon, she discovered that she had much more in common with the Anarch Movement than the Camarilla. She eventually switched gears and joined the Anarch Movement instead, but still remained one of Prince Annabelle's closest allies. She would spend most of her time between Quebec City and Ottawa, and played a major role in helping uncover the plot behind Prince Arundel's disappearance, gaining the trust of both Prince Arundel and Baron Ward of Ottawa in the process.<br>

In the end, a controversial decision was made and Marie-Helene Dutois was chosen; a former member of Montreal's Sabbat for whom Prince Annabelle vouched herself. The Severed Hand was chosen as the name of the Coterie. It's significance was simple; they were to be the hand of the Camarilla, but now severed from their original homes of Quebec & Ottawa.

-The Severed Hand's structure is very straightforward; While the Prince is not a part of the Coterie proper, they are in charge of picking a Seneschal among the Coterie members. The chosen Seneschal then acts as the Coterie leader, they are both the voice and the will of the Prince. However, the Seneschal is not omnipotent and may be demoted and replaced by the Prince at any given moment. The Seneschal has two primary tasks; the first is to appoint the offices of Keeper(s) of Elysium and Harpy, and to ensure that the chosen Kindred fulfill their role properly. The second help coordinate, counsel and dispatch Coterie members so that they may put their skills to the sect's service.  <br>
