Cat Costello
Cat Costello is a Hecata necromantrix who resides in the Woodlawn Cemetery in New York.
Biography
According to Cat, the Costello family (possibly yet another familial offshoot of Clan Hecata) has been in Woodlawn Heights for as long as anyone can recall. Cat herself resides within the mortuary of the massive Woodlawn Cemetery which dominates the southern portion of the neighborhood. Skilled in the use of her Clan's necromantic ceremonies, Cat commands the loyalty of several Wraiths, including a particularly belligerent spirit named "Frankie" - whose fetter is the human skull she seems to always carry on her person.
Despite not residing in the South Bronx, Cat seems to occasionally liaise with the Anarch crime lord Richter, and can sometimes be found at The Cage. She recently enlisted the help of a coterie based out of Port Morris to help her retrieve the remains of the captain of the HMS Hussar - one of the many ships capsized by the East River's Hell Gate.
The Tzimisce Isaac Brooke successfully retrieved the captain's skull in 2022, and in return, Cat sheltered the coterie from reprisals by her classmates in the Puttanesca crime family.
