As Marcus’ most powerful and influential daughter, Monica Black knows that in any other city, she would be a prince. As it is, her “father” treats her like a slave girl, forcing her to serve as a vessel for every new Kindred who enters the city. Monica once sought to win Sejanus’ heart and serve as his equal, but as the years wore on, she came to wish only to feast on his blood. Monica knows that Marcus still seeks for his lost love, Marissa, and that she and Cynthia are simply reminders of her. Monica believes that Vitel killed Marissa, but she has no evidence to verify her suspicions.
