None of the Guild members, if asked, will acknowledge the existence of the coterie or membership thereof, and it is not known if this is due to a secrecy pact, or if the coterie is more of a loose association of kindred with overlapping interests, and a coordinated attempt for them to work together (or at least stay out of each other's way).

			=== Information ===
			Mira is an attractive woman of Hindu heritage who is known to run the ''Kelara Spice'' Hindu-culture club. She is an Assamite elder of the Sorcerer bloodline, meaning she is a master of Assamite Sorcery (Assamite Blood Magic, which is similar but rival to Tremere Thaumaturgy) and more inclined to knowledge and learning than her clanmates, which are stereotypes as assassins and warriors. She acts as the central coordinator for the Guild as an extension of her underworld activities amongst the kine. The Kelara Spice club includes secret underworld activities such as an opium den and harem, but also trains and employs assassins and mercenaries for hire. Whilst most of this activity is amongst the kine (both her clients and her employees) it also serves as a good gover for Guild activities, which is essentially a fine application of her business for the benefit of Guild members and the Camarilla, in addition to her own business concerns. For example assassination contracts against Kindred (typically outside the domain, against independents, blood hunts, or otherwise sanctioned by the Prince or Sheriff) or espionage activities against Kindred (or domains belonging to Kindred) would be run through a Guild member rather than a mortal contractor - both to preserve the Masquerade as well as increasing probability of success.

			Mira also has close ties with the Nosferatu Primogen and they coordinate activities; with the Nosferatu clan often being subcontracted to obtain information (this has proven useful for clans such as the Toreador who may wish to use Nosferatu services, but do not want to approach the Nosferatu because of clan enmities). Mira's influence over the Russian Bratva also gives her actual criminal underworld muscle she can bring to bear for the Guild/Mira as required.

			Mira and the Senya Primogen have also been working on improving their links to similar effect. Whilst Clan Senya is not known (as a clan) to directly carry out assassinations or criminal underworld activities, their shape-shifting and imitation abilities make them able to infiltrate domains and get spies and informants that even the Nosferatu find harder. Whilst the Nosferatu are good at hiding, the Senya are good at impersonating - an unknown employee in a company may raise questions, but the presence of the head of security would not. From Clan Senya's perspective, improving ties with Mira aids the clan's overall goals, improves their reputation/trust as a Clan (as many kindred still wonder and fear if the Senya are still spying on them internally and pretending to be members of their own clan, as they have done for centuries - something the Primogen officially denies, but when asked unofficially will simply grin and shrug). It also is helpful to the clan to be able to sell information and services to the Guild and gain their assistance when needed. Overall, it benefits the Ashford domain, and prevents accidental clashes between Senya agents that may inadvertently cross the path of a Guild member; which can be damaging to both sides.

			Despite predominantly serving as Coordinator, Mira occasionally ''gets her hands dirty'' as well. Whilst she may not have the mastery of physical Disciplines, and variant versions of her clan Disciplines to other Assamites, she is nonetheless a Kalaripayatu (an ancient Indian battlefield martial art) master and Assamite elder (and thus an excellent assassin), and can be a master of ''the subtle kill'' using subterfuge, poison or blood magic.

			=== Combat/Assassination Style ===
			As a Kalaripayatu master, Mira is a master of both unarmed martial arts as well as melee martial arts (especially Kalaripayatu swords). She is also an expert with firearms and at stealth and has some degree of Celerity, although it is not a clan Discipline for her. Therefore she is quite capable of directly engaging and defeating in personal combat any kine, and most younger kindred. Against tougher kindred foes, she is capable of using her Assamite Sorcery to lethal effects, employing blood effects, using wards on her weapons that can magically harm kindred, setting targets on fire or using mental telekinesis against them. Typically, however, she would use subtler means such as poisoning targets or using her powers or skills to arrange accidents or get close to her target for a quick kill, which can then be covered up if required by her clanmates/employees.

			As a Toreador, Tatjana has traditionally relied on using Firearms and speed in combat. She was an experienced shot due to participating in two wars during her mortal days and received further training from both Camarilla agents as well as (later) the Sabbat's Black Hand, which included other forms of martial combat. Since then she has committed diablerie various times, developed her physical Disciplines (as well as Vicissitude) and studied many different forms of combat. She is now a master of both unarmed combat and melee weapons, and has a degree of mastery of firearms (as well as dexterity) to a supernatural level beyond the capability of any kine or higher-generation kindred. She is, to any measurement, a pure killing/combat machine molded by a life of warfare, and an unlife of constant and relentless training and combat against a wide variety of supernatural threats - kindred, lupine and demonic.

			That said, she is predominantly known to rely on her speed and firearms ability first and foremost. Striking quickly and efficiently, often from a distance at unsuspecting targets - typically going for the biggest threats first to quickly disable, so she can take less caution with the rest of her targets. She is fond of using a sniper rifle at range, or pistols up close, and frequently employs specialised ammunition (silver, incendiary, explosive, fletchette) depending on the target. Her reputation as an assassin and with firearms makes enemies often underestimate her, believing that if they can engage her in melee she will be weaker. A mistake that two Camarilla Alistors (a Gangrel and a Nosferatu) fatally made. This is a weakness only insofar as a comparison to her supernatural firearms and speed; even in normal melee she is still a master with almost any weapon, with high-level Potence and Fortitude in addition to her elder-level mastery of Celerity. She has also learnt to combine various disciplines to even more deadly effect. Because of her mastery, her use of firearms or a martial style is a preference only, and she has been known to quickly and suddenly change fighting style in the middle of combat against a foe who seems to be able to hold their own against whichever style she is using by default, making her unpredictable. She also is renown for fighting dirty, something which is often found surprising as she's renown to follow the Path of Honorable Accord (she will point out those who find this confusing do not actually understand the path, or what honour means - and that she is an assassin, not a soldier).

			Tatjana is as subtle, or as brutal, as is needed for the situation. She has been known to use her Vicissitude Discipline to get close to targets to poison, shoot or kill with unarmed combat; and she has been known to walk into criminal bosses' houses and eliminate anything that crosses her path in whichever way is most efficient at the time, regardless of how bloody or visceral it may be. Overall, Tatjana prefers to go for the "quick kill" by any means possible, rather than engage in protracted combat.
