THE MIDNIGHT RIDERS, THE WATCHMEN OF THE NIGHT ROADS While traveling from one place to another has gotten consistently easier over the centuries, one is hard-pressed to say that it’s gotten safer. The open road has always been a dangerous place, especially in countries where long stretches of highway through practically deserted land separate one city from another. Human beings aren’t the only people who are capable of committing horrific crimes, taking advantage of people who have no choice but to be out and about in the middle of nowhere, at ungodly hours. Enter the Midnight Riders, a conspiracy totally devoted to patrolling the Night Roads – that is, the thoroughfares and open terrain of the world’s different countries, no matter how small they might happen to be. The sharp increase in awakenings of one fashion or another and the burgeoning number of Keepers of the Vigil across the board has not made the world any less dangerous. Most compacts and conspiracies have their hands full with their own matters, and with the political strife that’s tearing most of the Vigil apart. Somebody’s got to keep their eyes on everything and everyone that’s been caught in the crossfire.

CALINTZ AND SHANE'S TOP DOGS :: Benjamin Rayner

[geistnet]

BENJAMIN RAYNER Alias: Big Daddy DULLAHAN, “THE BIG DADDY” OF THE MIDNIGHT RIDERS AWAKENED [OBRIMOS; LEGACY: TRANSHUMAN ENGINEER] On top of being one of the most powerful Mages in America, Benjamin is a living relic of the Midnight Riders. He and Shane are childhood friends, and he was one of the original members of the conspiracy. Many operatives view Ben as the fourth man on the chain of command, if only because he felt it was important to step back from active duty and handle the backend for all Riders. Case in point: he was the man responsible for establishing Ham Radio, and the Head Ranger in charge of the headquarters of the Riders. …Yes, the Riders have an HQ. It is apparently somewhere in Texas. No, Ben ain’t telling you exactly where it is. PLOT POINTS AS OF 05 OCTOBER 2016 Wesley Essex managed to assist Ben and a huge contingent of Riders from America during the Ides. They're currently camped out in Baluerte, assisting relief and recovery efforts of the United Vigil.
