Canada by Night a Vampire the Masquerade Podcast

Having hired Martha, Barty discussed funeral arrangements for the fallen officers, instructed Val to begin therapy with Martha, and offered to accompany Everett to see his parents. Martha set out with Val, but when Val provided only a superficial tour of the town, Martha pressed her to share the emotional impact of recent events. Everett revealed his vampire nature to his parents, and they took it...

The prince arrived at the station with news and directives. He took care of the debts owed to the factions in Calgary, but the department is still indebted to the New Haven clans that were harmed in the past few weeks, and he brought Everett’s parents and Val’s father to New Haven to protect them, but left the fate of Val’s father in her hands. Everett, Val, and Barty then received a letter from D...

Val world was shaken when she learned her father, now a vampire himself, was being held in the prince’s custody. Everett was confronted by his own parents, who had thought he was dead, and he promised to visit later to explain. But before turning to personal matters, Michael Arden, at the prince’s request, sent several Tremere to apply for the vacant officer role in the department. Who will they c...

Having followed Val’s journey from childhood to New Haven, we return now to the town in the present day. The coterie has just successfully overthrown Toasta Rosa and elevated a new prince, the ghoul Matthew Theobald. Evangeline left with Theobald’s permission, and Everett and Val were left to navigate the new political situation, and the fallout from the recent violence. On top of everything else,...

Val managed to find a motel to sleep away the day in, and told Will what she could about the danger of sunlight before passing out. Will woke up early and, unable to wake Val, he ate too much candy, made himself sick, and flooded the bathroom trying to clean up his mess. Val awoke to a flooded room and a very angry motel owner, who accepted Val’s bribe but called the police anyway. Can Val outrun...

Val eliminated the leader of the Wulfpack and quickly found the money and hard drive she had been sent to retrieve, but as she set about clearing the estate of all evidence of kindred presence, she heard a small voice belonging to a five-year-old boy named Will. With both of his parents deceased, Val decided she could not leave him to a fate of mind-wiping or worse, so they packed up some toys, se...

Incredibly, Juniper Lux was very pleased with the performance Val had arranged, and Val was awarded the mission to hunt down the Wulf Pack. She made her way down the west coast to Bayfield, California, her targets’ last known location, and her investigation put her on the trail of two missing tour buses. When she arrived at the Hall Family Winery, she found the Gangrel and began to stalk them one...

By the year 2000, five years had passed for Val with Brooke by her side. A Gangrel group has gone rogue, and Sheriff Cross summoned Val to the Blue Rose Hotel amidst an Elysium soirée, to convince two judges to award her the assignment of hunting them down. She easily swayed the first judge, but the second, Juniper Lux, demanded that Val first find a uniquely talented mortal willing to become a To...

Five years have passed since Val was welcomed into the Camarilla, and she has learned much from Sheriff Cross, not only becoming familiar with the politics of the Camarilla, but honing her many criminal skills. In her most recent assignment, Val was introduced to Brooke, a mortal human, and worked with her on a crucial bank heist for the princess. After the success of the heist, in the heat of the...

Val awoke in the hospital, recovering from the ordeal with her former coterie. Sheriff Cross explained that Val would have to seek the approval of Princess Cleopatra and she must pretend that she had only recently been embraced, but Val was also warned by another kindred to not lie to the Princess. An uncomfortable meeting ensued, and Val simply stated how she could use her skills to serve the Cam...

With their plan to kill the Anarchs in tatters, Val could not break free of Amy’s control, even as her former coterie stabbed Cross with silver daggers. Fortuitously, Cross had planned for the worst, and officers Marcus Safe and Elizabeth Maddox barged in with silver bullets and brought Amy down. Val and Vincent’s beasts faced off in a brutal brawl, but once again Cross came to the rescue. Before...

With three nights to find Cross before Amy and Vincent do, Val drove to Calgary and booked a room at the Blue Rose Hotel, unaware of its significance. She awoke to find herself confined, was interrogated by Cross, and learned that Amy and Vincent were the two most dangerous Anarchs in Canada. To avoid Camarilla justice, Val would have to kill them and deny any involvement with them, so she and Cro...

As Val settled in with her coterie, she honed her vampiric abilities, but tensions continued to rise as she grew to dislike her companions’ methods. Nearly five years since her embrace, Amy and Vincent questioned Val about her sire, and though she resisted sharing his identity, Val eventually unintentionally revealed him to be Sheriff Cross. Val tried to dissuade them from confronting him, but the...

Val was welcomed into her first coterie. Neither Camarilla nor Sabbat, Vincent and Amy showed Val a world with no rules, and the freedom to hurt humans with no regard to morals or consequences. As Val learned important skills, like using the blood within her to produce the blush of life or surging past normal physical limitations, her humanity consequently receded. How much longer will Val remain...

With an RCMP officer approaching her vehicle, Val had no interest in being caught and sped away. She drove into the woods and took off on foot into the Manitoba wilderness as Officer Safe called for backup and pursued her. Val fled to a nearby farmhouse, where she was ambushed by two more officers. Desperate, she killed them both and attempted to leave in their car, but was blocked by two vampires...

Within a few hours of becoming a vampire, Val felt the beast inside her surge forth for the first time and she easily dispatched the criminals at the gas station. She set fire to the building, took off, and spent the next year travelling across Canada, killing almost anyone when she needed to feed. She had evaded capture so far, but her luck may have run out, as she was pulled over on a rural road...

Val Miller awoke to her new unlife, having been saved from death, but also turned into a monster by one of the few people she trusted, Rufus Cross. They set fire to the arena and the bodies of their friends, and Cross quickly explained current kindred politics. Val grappled with the crumbling foundations of her life and rejected Cross’s offer to stay, deciding instead to take the next five years t...

Val refused Damon’s offer to become a vampire and instead challenged him to single combat while Robin called boss Cross. Jack bled out, Robin tried to buy them time but was killed by a wayward knife, John too was stabbed, and Val was set upon by the other vampires. Before she lost consciousness, her attackers were gunned down in an instant and Val looked up into the face of her saviour, Rufus Cros...

In her first match of the Brawl, Val tried in vain to end it without killing her opponent, but ultimately she took a life for the first time. As she was escorted back to her cage, her combat training kicked in, she wrestled a gun from a guard, and began methodically shooting down the enemies around her. John finally broke out of his cage with Val’s help, but before he could free the others, the fi...

Val and her friends arrived at the brawl and were led to an arena in the woods, but something felt very wrong when they were locked in cages until their fights were called, and as they watched the first fight, they immediately realized that the Brawl For It All was a fight to the death. Robin bargained with the organizer to fight Jack’s fights as a well as his own, and Val was called to face her f...

With Rufus Cross away for the next year, Val and her friends managed without him until the gym’s safe was robbed and their entire safety net was erased. With no record of any insurance, and law enforcement unable to offer any real assistance, they had to replenish their money and quickly. Jack reminded them about the brawl that Cross had forbidden them from even mentioning, and when they discovere...

Continuing our exploration of Val’s past, under Rufus Cross’s guidance, she got into wrestling as a heel called “The Demon” and found she enjoyed fighting without her life on the line. She grew closer to her gym friends as Robin trained for stuntwork and John got bigger without taking steroids, and life became more stable until Cross informed them that his government job would take him away from t...

Over the next two years, Valerie learned how to box and, although she lost all of her fights, she steadily improved. She also began to connect with her training partners, Robin, John, and Jack, but when she grew afraid that it was all getting too good to be true, Cross had a heart-to-heart with her. He encouraged her to commit to her friendships and Valerie received some assurance that if she wasn...

Five years after leaving her father in a trap, Valerie Miller made her way north and eventually landed in Calgary, desperately hungry and alone in a brutally cold winter. Rufus Cross found her fighting on the street, gave her a meal, and invited her to his gym to box. Valerie nearly didn’t survive the journey there, but she was rescued by two gym rats, and when she saw a pendant of St. Raphael aro...

Valerie Miller survived her first night of being hunted by her father. She fled into town and begged for sanctuary at her grandparents’ house, only to be rejected and driven back. But that night was just the first of the new normal, and with no one to rely on, Valerie realized she would have to dedicate her time to learning more about the world outside her home and she prepared for her escape. Eve...
