The Central Line Consilium

The Consilium of the Central Line is found in London, and approximately covers the land around the Central Line underground route. It is thought to cross territory with at least two other London consilia, but how the boundaries are defined is always nebulous.

The current Hierach is Seldon although it was Baldur until at least 2012. The system of selection for Hierarchs sees the Council of the Central Line - one representative from each Cabal - choose a new Hierarch by committee every three years, three months and three weeks. It has been eight selections since the last time the Diogenes Club's nominee was not selected.

Their troubles tend to be of a sort Moros are most suited to - at present they're dealing with the discovery that the Central Line is part of a vampire smuggling route. Important questions like "Why here?", "Who smuggles vampires anyway?" and "What the ever-living fuck?" are being raised.

The Central Line Consilium was formed at the turn of the century, reflecting two needs; first, the need to keep the number of Mages in any given Consilium under control with the addition of the Free Council and, second, the unusually high density of threats generated by other supernatural types along its strip of territory.

Speculation has remained constant since the beginning that some non-Awakened occultist used a power which does not resonate with the Fate arcanum to curse the area to danger at the inception of the line itself.

They have three sentinels, Frostbite, Thunderchild and Hotspur, a Herald Copernicus, a Factotum Boilermaker and a Nuncio de Carabas.

Few Cabals here outlive their original membership, and jumping from Cabal to Cabal is frowned upon unless you are the only remaining member. Death magic based incidents are common here, and Moros Awakenings are more likely than any others.

This was the Consilium that, upon awakening, Pauli was found by and bought into. That was in late 2009. Over the next two years or so, four Magi were murdered. It's kind of reminiscent of the Hallows Murders, but well, nothing like the Hallows Murders. What actually happened was that Sekhmet a Seer had found Pauli first, found a connection to him and then started 'borrowing' his body to murder people.

Regardless, Hotspur eventually got to the bottom of what was going on, Pauli was mind-wiped and sent to Lancaster and life returned to normal.

The Diogenes Club still controlled everything from behind the curtains, Borderwolf still shipped people at will, Flare joined the consilium and the selection of a new Hierarch took place.
