Like more than a few Kindred who operate on the fringes of Prince Severijn's domain, Dekker is recognized as a citizen of Haarlem, rather than Amsterdam. Though Haarlem is technically a part of the Praxis of Amsterdam, this is more a formality than hard reality, and its regent, Comitus, seems to still act the Prince he was before inexplicably offering to become a regent under Amsterdam's purview.

Hans Dekker makes his home in the halls of the old Meerenberg Asylum, near Haarlem. Few dare venture there, for even without the presence of a Haunt, the place has dangers, or so the stories go. Within the bowels of the institution, Dekker conducts a wide range of research into the Kindred condition, which often has him being the subject of rumors suggesting he's a member of the Ordo Dracul amongs those who have an inkling of knowledge concerning what it is that mysterious covenant does. He makes much (if not all), of his research available to Kindred authorities, regardless of Covenant, however. The Invictus has made ample use of his insights into Kindred physiology, for instance.

While not a formal member of the Domain of Amsterdam, he keeps in touch with the Clan in the city, and it's not unheard of for him to offer one of them a bed for the day, information, or a vessel to feed from.

Quotes on the Damned: (leave yours)

• “I can not stop you from speaking with this man. I may be your Priscus, but i am not your keeper. I will, however, advise you not to get to close t him. Quite aside from the fact that i might decide to have a violent reaction to such an act, there's the problem of where he gets his 'test subjects.'” - Johannes Berkhof
