===Archbishop===
Polonia quickly honed his skills of tactics and networking, turning [[Garou|Lupines]] against his old foes in Santa Fe and ascending within the ranks of his clan through the Friends of the Night. During the late 18th century, he assisted Regent {{www|Gorchist}}'s ongoing effort to end the First Sabbat Civil War. In 1761, Gorchist appointed Polonia to the rank of Archbishop in the burgeoning city of New York, earning Polonia the ire of Ecaterina the Wise and the other sitting Bishops of New York. Other Bishops were appointed under Polonia in the years to come, notably Radu Bistri, who stayed only long enough to help Gorchist end the Civil War via the Purchase Pact and never amassed the local influence – or the desire – to challenge Polonia's authority.

Polonia retained power through the Second and Third Sabbat Civil Wars, in part through his ability to cultivate allies like Radu Bistri, who had ascended to the rank of Cardinal by the time of the Third Civil War. During this span of time, he also saw the fall of several rivals and potential threats, including Ecaterina, who disappeared during an attack on a ''Palla Grande'' in 1969. Although Polonia was effectively uncontested as Archbishop, the [[Camarilla]] maintained a small but continual presence in New York City, mainly on Wall Street (via the [[Ventrue]]), in the universities (via the [[Tremere]]), and in the tightly networked [[Nosferatu]] sewer kingdom.
