The Cemetary
Gerard Hosessie’s Graveyard

The Frederick National Cemetary is a 4 square mile gated burial ground for Maryland’s finest corpses. The oldest grave marker within the walls is dated 1804 and has no name. The cemetary is home to some 10,000 estimated total corpses buried beneath the grass and marble. And one corpse that walks above it.

An excerpt from the NPC files:
Gerard is close to the energys of death, and has chosen to live away from his sewer dwelling brethren, and practice his strange religo-magical practices in a cemetery. It is known that Gerard claims domain in Frederick Maryland, in the largest local cemetery, spanning a few square miles. Gerard has been quoted as saying things like "I bring pleasure to those who weep at a loved ones grave, I speak to them as the deceased, and I give them closure." He is also known to have said, quote: "I have no problem burying any being into oblivion if they need the holiday from living."

Gerard’s cemetary is a well guarded place by most standards. The Nosferatu witch-doctor cum spiritualist is assumed to have a battalion of wraiths loyal to him (or at least obedient) and willing to defend the grounds. Though Gerard accepts visitors, he does so begrudgingly, and has no qualms about evicting unwelcome guests. Gerard demands politeness from his guests and will not remind any offending party more then once.

Gerard is considered the local expert of all things related to the afterlife, and if the seeker of his knowledge is willing to come to the cemetary, and make the 40 minute drive to visit him, he will greet you in his unique way.

During the black hand strike in 2001, Gerard’s cemetary was used by the Sabbat as a ground for mass embrace, the pit of bodies measured about 20 feet across and became the final resting ground for at least two dozen hapless, innocent mortals. Gerard has since stepped up his defense, and has used the cemetary, and its myriad of crypts, mausoleums as a safe ground for kindred and ghouls alike.
