“You’re born alone and you die alone and this world just drops a bunch of rules on top of you to make you forget those facts. But I never forget. I’m living like there’s no tomorrow, because there isn’t one.”
Don Draper, Mad Men
“It doesn’t matter which side of the fence you get off on sometimes. What matters is getting off. You cannot make progress without making decisions.”
Jim Rohn
“Every man must do two things alone; he must do his own believing and his own dying.”
Martin Luther

There aren’t many Kindred in the city who haven’t committed to one of its political factions. Few of these individuals are Kindred of significant stature. Most are of them are beneath the notice of the city’s powers and simply want to pursue their own interests in peace. Faction-less Kindred with something valuable to offer their fellows, though, must endure constant attempts to push them off the fence. Independence is never easy.

Thin-bloods are not included in the below Kindred, even though most of them are unaligned with any factions. With few exceptions, no covenant wants the duskborn among their own.
