History

- Their mission is to kill the Prince of DC and his allies or to get as close to that objective as possible.
- Simon, a 17 year old member of the Society of Leopold, is brought in by Julian when the mission proves to be more difficult than originally thought.
- The team is nearly killed when Kindred attack their motel, Simon repels the attack and the team flees to Arlington Cemetery.
- Jack dies for the first time due to injuries incurred at the motel, though he doesn't realize he died when he regains consciousness.
- Julian and Johnny are mentally manipulated by Peter Dorphman to fall in love as part of a large scale plan on the part of DC's Tremere to depose Prince Marcus Vitel with the express forethought that Prince Vitel would attack the team and endanger Johnny.
- Dorphman's plans backfire when Jack blows up the Tremere communal haven (The Octagon House) with the help of Simon.
- Jack dies for the second time while escaping the debris of the destroyed Octagon House. He is faith healed by Simon and still does not make the connection that he has actually died.
- This mission continues till December of 1998, when the team finally flees DC after nearly being captured by the prince himself, Marcus Vitel.
- January 1999:
- Julian, Johnny, and Jack arrive in NYC and set up their new base of operations.
- March 1999:
- The trio goes to LA to deal with kindred violence that threatens to affect the mortals
- After tracking and hunting for nearly 2 weeks, the trio ends their stint in LA with a fiery showdown by intervening themselves in the middle of a three way battle between LA's Anarch, Camarilla, and Sabbat Kindred.
- The trio leaves LA having killed nearly 3 dozen kindred in the course of 2 weeks.
- June 1999:
- Johnny, Jack, and Julian leave for a mission in Reno.
- A Gangrel named Duke has brought himself to the attention of the team's boss, Syphon, and the trio are assigned to dispatch him.
- A new hunter is sent with them, a S. American Guerilla soldier named Juan.
- Jack finally learns that he is truly immortal when he is drained dry by a vampire here in Reno.
- Duke escapes but the team kills all his allies, ruling the mission a success.
- Duke is alive and at large to this day.
- August 1999:
- Syphon's, and the team's, interests in Caribbean gun running are endangered by a Setite who killed Syphon's Cuban ally and took the black market interests for his own.
- Fearing their much needed source of firearms would be cut off, the team left for Cuba immediately to deal with the troublesome Setite.
- After killing the Setite and his many guards, the teams prepares to leave Cuba, but they have one final obstacle to overcome.
- An old ally of the Setite, an elder Samedi who had been in Cuba at the time, assailed the team before they could leave Cuba in an attempt to avenge his fallen ally.
- In a pitched battle Julian's arm was crippled by the Samedi, though he did come out on top of the battle in the end.
- Falsely believing the Samedi dead, Julian and the rest of the team leave Cuba, their mission a success.
- September 1999:
- Hoping for some much needed R&R, the trio head to Hawaii for some fun in the sun.
- While in Hawaii Syphon also has the three meet a new hunter Syphon's hired, a Russian ex-KGB operative named Serge.
- While in Hawaii, Johnny and Surge decide to get married on the spur of the moment.
- As if trouble simply knows where to find them though, the hunters stumble upon a woman being pursued by a group of ghouls.
- After saving the woman, the hunters find the woman was part of something much large, as they are now being pursued by a group of elder vampires who call Hawaii their home.
- After a pitched struggle where Johnny is put into a coma and Surge temporarily gives into his vampiric side in an effort to win the day, the team returns to New York, vowing never to take vacation again.
- December 1999
- the Team is sent to Antarctica to deal with a mysterious silence at a top secret military installation. The military believes/hopes it to be nothing more than a downed antenae, but Syphon decides to send the team along due to a naggin fear the the problem is far more serious.
- Maya, Smith, Surge, Johnnie, Gabrielle, and Jack travel to Antartica via military transport along with six Navy Seals and their Captain.
- Upon their arrival they find the base is completely shut down and the problem seems far more serious than a downed antenae, though still a complete mystery in nature.
- The Team begins a harrowing descent through the many sublevels of the silent base after finding the top level to be completely abandoned.
- The first seval sub levels show the exact nature of the threat the Team and the Seals face, vampiric creatures more akin to zombies than kindred who crave the blood of anyone near them with apparent subhuman intelligence that makes them no less deadly.
- When one of the Seals falls to one of these creatures, the true horror of the situation is revealed when the Seal awakens from death as one of the inhuman monsters.
- A single survivor is found in one of the last sublevels, trapped in a cabinette under a literal mound of dead bodies. Once excavated by Surge and Smith, she tells the tale of what occured at the base in the last 2 weeks. The name of the man who created these creatures is now finally known, "General" Martin Briggs.
- After taking the woman to safety, the Team descends once again with what few Seals remain to deal with Briggs once and for all.
- In this final descent, Surge himself is wounded by one of these creatures and begins the slow change towards being a true monster himself.
- After confronting Briggs and being pinned down by suppressive fire, the Team flees to escape the "self destruct" sequence Briggs began before he escaped in a mini-sub.
- After narrowly escaping the nuclear explosion and the resulting instability of the ice cap their plane was on, they catch sight of Briggs' escaping sub.
- In an act that is either amazing courage or grave stupidity, Gabrielle jumps from the plane onto the sub and enters to confront Briggs.
- Gabrielle narrowly escapes the encounter with his life, moments before Smith destroys the sub with a plethora of armor-piercing sniper rounds.
- Biggs' body is not recovered, but the Team returns, short one Seal team, but victorious none the less, with the chemical samples and documentation that Syphon requested they remove from the military's hands.
- April 12, 2000:
- Detroit: A mysterious Kindred exposes the existence of werewolves, vampires, wraiths, changelings, and mages to the world on national television
- The Team moves quickly to deal with the emerging chaos in Detroit.
- Amidst efforts to find out who this mysterious Kindred is, the Team finds itself caught in a pitched battle between Camarilla, Sabbat, and Anarch Kindred of Detroit.
- Jack is killed by a powerful Lasombra when a nebulous blackness crushes every bone in his body
- After the team finally and briefly confronts the Kindred who exposed the world to supernaturals, Detroid is rocked by one final tragedy as an Ancient Methusalah of an unknown clan descends upon the city's South
- Forgetting the reason they had been sent to Detroit, the Team solidifies to repell this even more deadly threat
- After a fultil struggle with the Ancient where Jack is thrown through his own Humvee (and killed again) and Luc stalls the Ancient with some of the most belligerent words it has ever heard, the team gets truly desperate.
- Surge rushes to the plane to access its missle array and Jack hijacks an oil taker from a nearby highway...
- A firey destruction results from these two combined elements that only the burning oil fields of Iraq or the mushroom cloud of a low yield nuke could compare to. This conflagratino finally detroys the Ancient (and Jack one more time for good measure).
