I'm going to be running a chronicle online for some friends and it's daunting to have to make enough vampires and ghouls to make intrigue for this game. It's mostly homebrew LA, the party are Watchmen for the Anaheim Princedom, and there's going to be an almost "villain of the week" setup to it with occasional larger arcs.
I'd appreciate some help getting ideas to flesh out the children of the night they might encounter because my goodness is there a lot to do.

I’ve got a few ideas for Kindred and Ghoul characters that I haven’t really found a use for yet, and I can probably come up with a few more with some time. One thing I love to do is create characters and backstories.
Lore needs to have a lot ready to go by Sunday.
Friday actually, and I'm not kidding when I say 30 is a reasonable number to have by session 1. Will they all come up then? No, but they would have enough impact on future things the more I have at the start the better.
At the moment I have 10 named NPCs, I'm hoping to get more from my players and their connections, but more the better

Arthur Lovell
Late 30s in appearance.
Neonate. Gangrel.
Bodyguard to Chalice.
'Chalice'
As in, the chalice of creation.
Tzimisce. Ancilla, getting close to Elder age range.
Has been kidnapping and fleshcrafting neonate Nosferatu, in her quest to craft perfection.
Two captured Nosferatu. Twins. Lilian and Lily.
Successfully freeing them - by stealth or openly - gives you a 'get out of jail free' card related to the local Nossies.

William Shield
Human. Late 50s.
Coroner. Head of the local morgue.
A few suspicious morgue cases mean that he is getting uncomfortably close to discovering the existence of Kindred, thanks to a few sloppy unintentional killings from negligent and uncareful new-turned Kindred.

Happy to help! If I get any more ideas, I'll reply in this thread.
Theo Lamor
Mid-20s.
Human. Hacker.
Let's say that he has been getting uncomfortably close to finding out things he shouldn't. Maybe he needs dissuading or a nudge in just the right direction.
'Spider'
Unknown age.
Unknown species. Assumed Kindred.
Hacker. Knowledge broker.
Only communicated with through messaging. Efforts to track them are unsuccessful.
They are the location/wider territory's 'go to' when it comes to leads and information. At a price, of course. Sometimes the cost is money, which is fairly straight forward. Sometimes the cost is other information. Sometimes it is a favour that they will call in at a later date.
