1) It is possible that Valasky may join the BCT as a fourth Kindred actor (under the alias Dante Higgins), since he enjoys adopting personas and finds the plays enjoyable. In this case, the other members would likely be uncomfortable around him as an outsider, but would try to make him welcome, particularly as he is a talented (if not classically trained) actor.

In any interactions with the players, Valasky would try not to draw attention to himself, being neither overly friendly nor entirely aloof. He would adopt the persona of a moody and somewhat arrogant actor, a bit anal retentive but witty and devoted to his craft. He will be enthusiastic about the opportunity to be with a group like the BCT, and hopes to prove himself as a worthy addition.

The GM should be careful about running this scenario since "Dante" is bound to draw immediate suspicion as a newcomer to the group. This may provide too early of a lead and clue, particularly since Dante, unlike the other actors, knows the truth. While he is a veteran Sabbat and thus not likely to fold under even harsh interrogation, powers such as Auspex or Domination could too early reveal that he is not whom he claims to be.

2) A more radical option would be if, after the first hints of discovery, Claire decides to recruit the members of the BCT directly into the Sabbat, feeling that their cover has been blown so the operation is finished, yet not wanting to lose these Toreador with whom she has worked so closely. Perhaps she has decided the BCT will become a purely Sabbat production, to be moved to New York or another Sabbat city and increase her fame among her twisted antitribu clan members.

The PCs here may also try to rescue them as well. This scenario could be suggested if the PC group are too small to have one of their number kidnapped. The scenario could run very similarly except with one of the actors being the first to dis, appear. (Cage would be the best choice, since he likes being a vampire and doesn't understand the big problem with feeding or why anyone would regret their condition. Very Sabbat-minded.)

3) The recruited and mind-washed PC could approach one or more of the other characters and try to convince them to join of their own volition, stating how happy he is to have been selected. In this condition, if they tried to apprehend him for "treatment" or were violently against the suggestion, he would evade them, perhaps with the help of one or both of the Sabbat packs. Perhaps as his first test of loyalty, the recruited PC would be told to help destroy his old friends: an opportunity for rich role-playing and dramatic combat.

4) The entire story could be run with the PCs starting as mortals. There is no reason why the BCT cou n't e turne to in ing goo targets r traditional Sabbat recruit ent. In this case, the Players might need to be rescued by the actors or other Camarilla Kindred, and would have to decide which'sect to join. A mortal campaign would be much more horrific and therefore suspenseful, but also leaves the PCs in a much more powerless situation.

Further, the Sabbat rituals for inducting new members are effective most of the time. In order to give the PCs some free choice, something would have to go wrong with the recruitment. (The most critical stage being, of course, burial after the Embrace and being forced to claw out in a deranged frenzied state, thereby being stripped of all Humanity.)
