Editing Darius Marcus (section)

=== Second Estate Raid and Capture, April 27th, 2052 ===

A joint assault team composing of kindred from most sects on the island made a split assault on Darius Marcus's estate. One team scaled the estate to enter through the roof, lead by [[Officers of Caliburn|Seneshal]] [[William Bagg]], [[Officers of Caliburn|Ventrue Primogen]] [[Selene Blackwood]], and included the newly appointed [[Officers of Caliburn|Brujah Primogen]] [[Tristian Allerdale]], joined by [[John 'Skiz' James]]. The "roof" team proceeded to work their way downwards through the building and began clearing rooms. Entering from the front door was the remainder of the assault force, composing of [[Advocate of Brighton Beach]] [[Sammie Okra]], [[Warden|Warden of Blood]] [[Damien Blackfeather]], [[Officers of Caliburn|Camarilla Sheriff]] [[Danny DeVitae]], [[Officers of Caliburn|Constable of Brighton Beach]] [[Psycho]], Viscount [[Emil Nikolai Dragomir]], and [[Antonio Sanchez]]. The "ground" team began clearing rooms headed upwards into the building, during which they encountered and silently dispatched a group of mortal guards.

The "roof" team was the first to make contact, kicking down a door that lead into a room containing Darius Marcus, and a kindred retainer with strong cybernetics. As the team entered the room, [[John 'Skiz' James]] was unfortunately overpowered by the kindred retainer who staked John with a shard of wood from the door and threw his paralyzed body into the roaring fireplace. The "ground" team was delayed in reaching combat, as the team was under Quietus silencing powers to attempt to move stealthily through the building. Because of this, they were not alerted that combat had started until a few moments later. They began to rush upstairs after hearing the combat taking place.

Rifle fire was exchanged between [[Psycho]] and several kindred and ghoul retainers. [[Tristian Allerdale]] and [[Danny DeVitae]] dispatched the cybernetic kindred retainer guarding Darius Marcus. [[Danny DeVitae]] was in a controlled rage frenzy for most of the fight. [[Damien Blackfeather]], [[Antonio Sanchez]], and [[Psycho]] ultimately ashed the remainder of the retainers in the building. [[William Bagg]] took minor injuries from rifle fire, primarily providing support in the form of smoke grenades and other abilities. [[John 'Skiz' James]] unfortunately met final death at the hands of [[Sammie Okra]] who was compelled to attack his allies by Darius Marcus's use of mind-controlling powers.

Darius Marcus, being whittled down by both [[Sammie Okra]] and [[Danny DeVitae]], attempted to flee from the estate out of a second story window. He landed on the lawn and attempted to run, being chased by [[Danny DeVitae]] as [[Sammie Okra]] used powers from the window above. Darius Marcus ultimately ran into the vast amount of forces outside who were prepared to prevent his escape. [[Danny DeVitae]] delivered the final stake to his heart.

The remainder of Darius Marcus's kindred retainers who were staked were promptly put to final death in the lobby of the estate, at the request of [[Elder]] [[Gabriel Payne]]. Darius Marcus was taken in to [[Camarilla]] custody to await trial by the [[Officers of Caliburn|Seneschal]], [[William Bagg]]. Darius Marcus was executed later the same night.
