location: The Wealthy Section of Yonkers
It's use: The upper floors would be used as a safe place of kindred/humans/Garou to sleep, get some emergency blood, make business deals with Serpentis and a haven for humans/kindred/Garou to stay if they need protection. The lower floors would be used for his own cultists to stay in, to practice their arts, to worship Serpentis, and for Serpentis to sleep and relax. The Middle Floors would be a bar, a lounge, a drug den, and a harem (both females and males).
Description of the building: This stunning mansion was built by Serpentis during the 1920's. He blended in quite well with the new aristocracy that emerged at that time and the construction of yet another mansion did not seem too out of place. He then moved his cult activities into the lower levels of the building. It is like a minor city inside the mansion.
The upper levels have hotel like accommodations, maintained by his cultists and retainers. Each bedroom has a king size bed, a flat screen HDTV with standard cable, a full bathroom with whirlpool tub. It has a mini-elevator that one can use to have packages sent up to their room. Each window comes with blinds for any kindred that stay, the window itself is reinforced to prevent burglary and assault from without. Should anything else be needed, there is a phone to the front desk where they can request additional services. He offers this all at no charge because it is run off the winnings that the casino in the lounge makes supplemented with his personal fortune's interest. He does this to work up enough good will and recognition as a philanthropist that enough people will be willing to fight for him to form a small army. (if he should ever need it)
The Middle Levels are for entertainment. The Middle Floors contain a bar, a lounge, a drug den, and a harem (both females and males). The bar is not huge as it assumes you will take your drinks to the lounge. The bartender there is named Ralph and he is Serpentis' personal bartender. He makes amazing mixed drinks. The bar does not offer many beers but specializes in mixed drinks. It has several televisions for those who choose to stay at the bar. It also has several secluded rooms for those who wish to do "off the books" deals. The bar also offers narcotics and drugs of many kinds for the consumption of its patrons, again free of charge. The lounge is a large casino lounge. It contains several blackjack tables, numerous poker tables, and slot machines. The payoffs are more often than most casinos and he advertises the most liberal rules in the state. There is also a fighting ring in this casino lounge where people can bet upon the fights between different humans/kindred/garou but never to the death unless agreed upon. The last part of the middle floors is the harem. The harem is a place where either two people or more who come together can engage in illicit activities in the rooms provided or they can have some of Serpentis' cultist girls or men who give themselves to the patrons in worship of their master. This place also has limited alcohol and drugs on site for the patrons consumption.
The lower floors (which are subterranean) of the mansion are devoted to cultist activities. The lowest levels contain secret escape tunnels that lead to several sewers in New York as well as one to a dock that has a place for him to swim to safety. Beside that the dock is used for landing his drug shipments and cult needs like incense and such in bulk. He bunks the cultists and ghouls here under the mansion where they pay him homage. They have their own rooms with their own valuables ect. He has several chapels decorated by cultist art dedicated to his worship. He also has his own personal room where no one enters without his permission. It is guarded by his most trusted ghouls who keep a vigil all day to make sure no one disturbs their master's sleep.
Affiliation: This large compound has no official affiliation as he serves all who come equally though truth be told, Serpentis does have an agenda with this place so its affiliation would be to Serpentis' goals.
