CHAMBERLIN, KEEPER OF ELYSIUM AND MAIN INFLUENCER OF TRADE Eudes of Troyes, Champion of the Poitiers Fairs Eudes was praised for his skills in commerce and diplomacy. His lord, a Flemish Brujah from Ghent, hoped at best for a competent pawn, but Eudes was quickly able to manage the affairs of the Poitiers fairs, becoming indispensable to the Cainites traveling there. Eudes gathered around him many like-minded Cainites, monopolizing the organization of Cainite travel and of their entourage participating in the fairs. He has made good use of the trust and respect granted to him to free himself from his lord and fully assume his duties. Thanks to his impartiality towards his clients and their affairs, he is a respected arbiter. It would be in no one’s interest to oppose Eudes, who provides the Cainites with safe havens as long as they follow his rules. He respects the authority of the nobility and is grateful to the Prince of Poitiers for the protection he grants to the fairs.
