A ppe nd ix I :

Th e Wa tch e rs

For four thousand years the watchers have

observed the lives of the immortals, watching as The

Game unfolded. These men and women dedicate

their lives to watching and chronicling the lives of

the immortals that walk among us in hopes that

through their understanding they may come to

comprehend the purpose of The Game.

To the watchers immortals are living history, each a

breathing microcosm of the culture that bore them

and watching one make his way across the pages of

history says a lot about that culture. Does the

immortal falter under the weight of change; dying

out like his people? Or does he adapt, adding the

new and altering his world view so as to survive?

The answers to these questions fascinate the

watchers just as much as the question of who will

win The Game and what The Prize may be.

Their Beginning According to the chronicles themselves, the

Watchers began with a single man, called Ammaletu

of Akkad.

According to his writings Ammaletu was the vassal

of the god-king Gilgamesh, charged with putting

down the ruler’s life and history so that future

generations could learn from his story.

When Gilgamesh was swept away by a raging river

while attempting a crossing, Ammaletu and the rest

of his entourage were horrified. Many men died

trying to retrieve their king’s body. Later that night

as they prepared to cremate their king he rose as if

from a sleep completely unaware that he had died

only hours before.

Ammaletu goes on with his duty, worshipping his

god-king just as the others do, and all the while

taking down his life as he had been charged.

According to Ammaletu Enkidu was a real man, a

wild thing from the forest who came to challenge

the god-king. When he entered the god-king’s court

Gilgamesh reacted violently to his presence, holding

his head and collapsing.

At this point Ammaletu’s view of his king is

shattered as the foreigner is in fact immortal, just as

Gilgamesh. He is also present, at his king’s behest,

when Enkidu teaches the god-king that he is not, in

fact, a god that he must one day abdicate the

throne.

Though the chronicler is disheartened to learn the

truth of his master’s immortality he becomes

resolute in keeping to his duty. As he grows older he

brings in an apprentice and then another, teaching

them the truth of their king.

These learned men watch Gilgamesh long after

Ammaletu himself dies and longer, after Gilgamesh

indeed does pass on, going into his next life. As this

brotherhood grew they began to take note of the

other immortals that Gilgamesh interacted with and

assigned them their own chroniclers.

By the time that that Gilgamesh’s own quickening

was released the Brotherhood of Ammaletu had

grown both in size and scope, observing and

cataloguing every immortal they found.

Over the centuries they grew more and more adept

at infiltrating the lives of their charges, inducting

friends, family and lovers into their ranks to better

understand them.

The Brotherhood of Ammaletu One thousand years before Christ, the Brotherhood

of Ammaletu had spread out over the known world

as it sought to learn more of the immortals that it

discovered. The brotherhood existed as a loose

network of cults each with no more than ten or so

adherents and each centered on a single immortal.

Many cults were family affairs, with each member

being somehow related by blood to the cult leader.

This was done to insure that secrecy was kept at all

time but was also used by the more paranoid cults to

ensure that their members were not immortal.

Though members of the brotherhood had to travel

on occasion when their charge moved on; they

always kept a small library in which they could

compile all of the chronicles of the one that they

watch.

To recognize one another they marked themselves

with a symbol, whether on their flesh or with jewelry

did not matter. The symbol itself was called the

“Seal of Ammaletu” and was said to be his personal

mark.

The Brotherhood came together only once a

generation. The leaders of each of the cults would

come to a place appointed at the previous assembly,

most commonly in the city of Babylon. They would

bring with them a list of the deeds that their charge

had done and a list of the immortals that he had

App

endi

x I

The Watchers

43

met. On a rare occasion they would announce a

name to be removed from the records as one or

another immortal killed him. It was during these

meetings that the Roster was first made; a list of

every known immortal in the world, along with their

description and origin if possible, and a listing of

their deeds. At each meeting the Elders would come

together and update the roster, to make sure that

no one was falling through the cracks.

It became apparent to many of the better founded

cults that some of their newer fellows were

misinterpreting the purpose of their work. Some

branches of the brotherhood had become true cults,

worshipping their charge even openly at times.

Others had become hostile to the idea of immortals

and The Game, killing their charge or using him to

find and destroy those immortals he met in his

journey. Worse, some branches were vanishing all

together, disbanding with the loss of their charge or

assaulted by the renegade aspects within the

Brotherhood.

Something had to be done.

Jerusalem One of the Oldest and most well respected

branches, led by a descendant of Ammaletu, called

Benjamin in the chronicles, came to the young city of

Jerusalem, where their charge had chosen to stay.

They quickly learned that the metropolis had many

immortal inhabitants, each with their own branch of

the brotherhood watching them.

Benjamin came to the leaders of each branch with a

proposal. Each cult had great resources at their

disposal, as well as a great store of knowledge in the

form of the chronicles. Taking that along with the

fact that they were constantly interacting by dint of

their immortal charges, they were acting in a

redundant fashion. Benjamin felt that the cults

should join together.

This new faction called itself “Those who watch

Jerusalem” and with their combined resources they

built the first true archive.

The Faction’s most fundamental policy was that it

was bound to Jerusalem and its territories. No more

were there separate cults within the city working

alone.

The leader of each cult was made the Archivist of

his immortal, and was to appoint a single member of

the faction to watch and chronicle her life.

The rest of the old cult was dispersed throughout

the city, where their charge would be most likely to

go. They lived their lives, watching for her or

another immortal to come close, keeping tabs on

their movements and reporting back to the

chronicler.

The Archivists meanwhile worked hard on the

Chantry, cataloguing the lives of their immortal

wards, checking and rechecking old dates and

interactions amongst the other chronicles.

Benjamin himself acted as the director of the

faction, as opposed to the leader, making sure that

no one stepped on anyone else’s toes.

As other branches entered the city they were

inducted into the faction, though many remained

nomadic. They spread the message that when next

the brotherhood came together it would be within

Jerusalem.

When next the Brotherhood came together it was

indeed within the halls of the Library of Jerusalem.

Benjamin, then still only thirty years old, showed the

leaders of the various cults the majesty of the

Archive. He bade that when they next came together

it would be in seven years, and each should bring

with them copies of all of their chronicles.

Within only a few years word came that other cities

too had shaped themselves into similar societies,

and they corresponded with Benjamin and his

“Watchers of Jerusalem” as often as possible.

The Convention of Watchers In 932bc, after only seven years, the Brotherhood

once again convened but under much different

circumstances. The halls of the Archive were filled

with only a few factions as opposed to numerous

faceless cults. The Watchers were by far the largest

of the factions but there were others. The Hunters

were made up of purely militaristic cults who wished

to destroy the immortals, and with them the

brotherhood if need be, while the Votaries wished to

reveal the immortals to the world, to worship them

as the divinities that they were. The Watchers

themselves were unsure as to their stance, as many

wished to use their newfound solidarity to maneuver

The Game to best insure the survival of mankind.

Benjamin took the floor early in third day of the

Convention, after the Roster had been updated and

the archive was stocked, if not sorted. He then

revealed to the assembled body his vision of the

future of the Brotherhood.

Each city would have its own hierarchy of watchers,

who recorded the lives of the immortals that resided

there. They would not interfere in the lives of their

charges. The hunters were furious that they weren’t

to put an end to the immortal menace, while the

App

endi

x I

The Watchers

44

votaries were devastated that they could not take

part in the lives of those that they adored.

Benjamin quickly and decisively brought both

factions to heel, threatening those who could be

reasoned with and slaughtering the rest.

The convention saw the ascendancy of the

Watchers from cult to Order.

It would be foolish to suggest it was a smooth

transition, but as they were first and foremost

scholars, many took to the new hierarchy well.

Those that did not were branded Renegades and

banished or destroyed.

It was decided that each city’s coordinator would

come together once every seven years to further

advance the Roster and the Archive in Jerusalem. In

addition, each cell would send its members to the

Chantry of the Order so that they could be properly

schooled in its arts as well as conditioned to ensure

their adherence to their protocols.

The Coming of Alexandros In the later part of the 9

th century a Greek mason

called Alexandros joined the Order in Jerusalem.

Though he was placed into the Archives as a

historian, cataloguing the various chronicles and

placing them into context within the historical

record, Alexandros was fascinated with the

complexities that shaped the immortals. He asked

incessant questions about their mentality and the

way their bodies worked. He wanted to know about

Quickenings and the Game and the Prize, most of all

he wanted to know where they came from. Could

they have children? Did they have parents?

After only ten years within the order Alexandros

had a following amongst the archivists. The then

leader of the Order, Benjamin the Younger,

conceded that the questions should indeed be

answered and created the position of Researcher.

It was the Researchers’ duty to unlock the many

mysteries that surround The Game and they’ve

worked tirelessly ever since.

Babylon Four centuries would pass before any change came

to the Order, but when it did the Watchers nearly

found themselves destroyed.

Babylon conquered the city in 586 BC, and in doing

so inadvertently destroyed a great deal of the

archive. Luckily it was kept in the ancient – and dead

– language Akkadu so the secret of the Order was

kept safe, but a great many chronicles were lost.

What was saved was sent with the surviving

members of the order to Babylon, where they took

refuge with the Watchers of Babylon.

When the Order once again convened it was

decided that never again would there be a single

Archive or a single Chantry. Each city would keep

one of its own.

In addition they created the Tribunal, a governing

body that would act in the stead of the Chantry,

coming to the aid of individual cells and deciding

who was fit to watch a given immortal. This last act

was a response to the resurgence of the renegades

in the form of Vraj, a watcher who used the

chronicles to help his charge in playing The Game.

From Then to Now It seems strange to say that a society has changed

little over the course of three millennia but it’s true.

Though they’ve become even more adept at hiding,

and their records have grown large enough to fill

warehouses, the Watchers are much the same,

simply on a larger scale. In the last internal census

there were 19,784,128 watchers in the world,

watching the lives of approximately 200,000

immortals; infiltrating every level of every society

across the globe but for the sole purpose of

watching The Game, rooting for this or that

immortal but never interfering.

Renegades A shadow over the watchers has, since that first

convention, been the Renegades. Those who

forswear the Oath toward their own ends tend to

show up from time to time, either using their

contacts to ensure their charge’s success, or worse

destroying them outright, killing immortals wantonly

to ensure that no one wins the game.

The Watcher Society Today, the order is organized much as was laid

down by Benjamin the Elder, with each cell in charge

of a single region, working independently but with a

common goal and ensuring the Order’s survival. But

the society itself is vast, with members who are

completely oblivious as to its nature. Many of the

lowest tiers of the organization are simply people

who know that they fund a secret organization.

Some are criminals, others businessmen.

Secret Societies At the lowest strata of the Watcher organization is

a collection of businesses that work together to

ensure that the Watchers never are short on funds.

App

endi

x I

The Watchers

45

These individuals believe that they belong to a secret

society such as the Free Masons or some other

fraternal order, enjoying small privileges in exchange

for certain activities that range from the mundane to

the abstract. Few if any of these “watchers” ever

learn the truth of the organization’s purpose though.

New Watchers Those who have been initiated are rarely actually

drawn from the ranks of the many “secret societies”

that the watchers keep as a front. Instead they tend

to be made up of normal men and women who have

stumbled across the existence of The Game and

have been approached by a Watcher. Before a

potential member is even approached though, they

are subject to a complete background check as well

as a full psychological and physical workup, often

without the subject being aware of the inquiry.

Once the okay has been given by the Order, a

hander, often in the form of a Regional Supervisor,

will offer her a position within the organization. If

she accepts she will be sent to The Academy, where

she will be trained in subterfuge, history,

memorization and stealth. She’ll also be conditioned

subtly to be loyal to the Order and the oath of

secrecy.

Once a new watcher has successfully finished their

training at the Academy she is often sent home

where she contacts the local coordinator who places

her in the Archives as a Historian.

Historians Often made up of the newest recruits, Historians

are the grunts of the organization. One part

researcher one part gopher, it is the historian’s job

to study the combined chronicles of all of the

immortals in a region, looking for discrepancies and

holes. If they discover one though they pass it onto

the immortal’s current Chronicler or contacts a

Researcher to look into it, as they must return to

their fact checking and compilation.

When and if they are placed in the field or given a

promotion to Researcher it is because they have

proven themselves to their superiors, either as being

particularly knowledgeable of a specific subject or

having some skill that would prove valuable to other

researchers or to a chronicler.

Bystanders One step up from a Historian, a Bystander’s duty is

to watch one or more immortals and report back to

their chronicler. Often placed strategically

throughout a region, Bystanders are expected to be

familiar with every immortal found on a region’s

Roster. Their notes are never complex, often simple

notations and mnemonics written on a notepad or

spoken into a recorder, but they prove invaluable to

Chroniclers and Researchers.

On occasion a Bystander is put onto a specific

Immortal’s case, if that immortal is known to move

around a great deal or is particularly cunning, he

must be watched more carefully, that is when the

Bystanders become particularly useful. Those

Bystanders who watch a specific immortal are often

the ones who replace a current chronicler when he

retires or moves on.

Researchers Archivists, who are particularly adept at

deciphering dead languages or recognizing

particularly obscure references to this or that

immortal, often find themselves within the ranks of

the Researchers. Each Researcher possesses a

specialty, something that they do better than other

watchers, that makes them particularly adept at a

specific field.

Some researchers study the banking methods of

the immortals, while others study particularly

archaic documents or chronicles. Others still study

mortal history throughout the records, observing

how the immortals affect their surroundings. Many

Researchers however study specific immortals who

may or may not exist or who have a habit of slipping

past their watchers.

The latter type are often considered the chronicler

of that immortal, despite his absence from any sort

of observable record, and if (or when) he shows up,

she is often put into the field to study him first hand

as best as she can.

Chroniclers Considered by some to be the true watchers within

the order, a Chronicler’s duty is to watch a single

immortals every move, recording his deeds and his

interactions with others of his kind. While a

chronicler does indeed get a great deal of help from

Bystanders it is her duty to most of the leg work, and

to stay close to the immortal without him becoming

aware of the situation. She is also considered the

most knowledgeable living person when it comes to

her Charge.

Though the Order has rules against fraternization

between watchers and immortals it is vital that the

Chronicler can insinuate herself into his life in some

App

endi

x I

The Watchers

46

way that gives her reason to be close but allows her

to keep her distance.

Though Chroniclers are usually chosen from the

best within the organization, there are exceptions.

Most notably when it concerns a new immortal, in

which they usually try to find someone who is

already part of his life, as opposed to insinuating

someone new.

Coordinators Drawn from the most experienced and trusted of

the Watchers in a city, the Coordinator of an area

has the added duty of making sure everything runs

smoothly within her jurisdiction. What an area or

jurisdiction means is different from place to place, in

some places a single city (such as New York or

London) may be considered the whole of the

jurisdiction, while in others it is a far larger

geographical area that rarely adhere to international

borders the whole of Indiana, Michigan, Missouri,

Ohio are considered one region along with a great

deal of Ontario.

Supervisors

The Leading most Coordinator on a continent is

called the Supervisor or Director, it is her duty to

keep in contact with each of the Area Coordinators

as well as communicate with other Regional

Directors.

The Tribunal Made up of the mass of the Regional Supervisors,

the Tribunal meets formally once every seven years,

and is mandates with mediating disputes and doling

out punishment to those who break the laws of the

order.

They also promote individual watchers to the post

of Area Supervisor and are vote to determine the

replacement of one of their own when he retires.

Becoming a Watcher While the Watcher Merit represents the basic

training given to every watcher when they go

through the academy, possessing it does not make

one a chronicler. In fact it simply allows the

character to be a member.

A character with just the prerequisites needed for

the merit is a Bystander or Historian but even then a

player may wish to make their character more adept

at her assignment, below are some suggestions for

players who want their character to better fit the

mold of a watcher of her station.

Historians The Grunts of the scholarly Order, the historians

are the ones that look up information or cross

reference the lives of the immortals that others

watch; many who have been in the Archives for too

long, or who have chosen not to pursue field work

eschew social skills altogether, focusing all of their

attention on the archives themselves.

Bystanders The eyes and ears of the Chronicler, entrenched

often trained in disappearing fast and leaving few
