The Right Honourable Mr Merrick, or Ronnie Merrick as he also likes to be called, is a vampire outside of the traditional boundaries of vampiric London society. He travels the city on an old-fashioned double-decker bus that displays a fictional route number and the "sorry, not in service" message. He's something of an info-broker, trading favours and knowledge like for like. Whilst no group in London entirely trusts him, his info is usually pretty solid.

An audience with him can be achieved simply by waiting somewhere along his imaginary bus route, which typically changes from night to night. A handful of vampires and ghouls that can be spotted around town typically know the route that can be asked (Streetwise roll). Once the bus stops, the hopeful will ask the driver for permission to come aboard, which may or may not be granted dependent on Merrick himself.

Anyone that boards the bus is warned to never look Mr Merrick in the face. There are a number of theories as to why, but nobody living can truthfully claim to have seen it. If any ghosts know, they aren't telling.

Merrick keeps his political ties close to his chest, an exceptional success in a politics roll might give you some idea as to where his loyalties lie.
