Kiếm
Kiếm is a Toreador active in New York. She is a former hunter, trained to kill vampires long before she ever became one herself.
Biography
Originally from Las Vegas, Kiếm was trained from a very early age by her father to be a hunter, quite possibly on behalf of a larger organization. However, when she was sent to New York to destroy a Toreador named Amadeus, she was instead overpowered and Embraced. Kiếm reveled in her new undead state and the freedoms it brought her, and was endlessly thankful towards her sire as a result. Thus, when Amadeus suddenly disappeared, Kiếm sought out his associate James Rafferty in order to track down his whereabouts.
By working alongside the other Fledgelings which Rafferty had assembled into a coterie, Kiếm eventually discovered that the Ventrue has murdered Amadeus after he threatened to disclose Rafferty's dealings with the Sabbat. However, while confronting Rafferty in his private suite in the Sterling Hotel, she quickly found herself outnumbered and was forced to flee (off of a balcony, into a pool several stories below). Her current whereabouts are unknown.
