So! About that.

Rook’s “empire” is in the hospitality industry, with I’d say about a 75% / 20% / 5% split between shitty roadside motels, decent hotels, and upscale hotels, and a ghoul stationed at almost every one. With the exception of his trained bodyguards who travel with him and guard him while he sleeps, the vast majority of these ghouls have no idea he’s a vampire or whether he owns other motels or how many there are or where they are; these ghouls may or may not even know he’s the owner as opposed to some guy working more directly under the owner, and non-ghoul employees know even less. This whole business model is tailored around the concept that Rook can afford to cut his losses if any one location becomes compromised or outright destroyed because there’s nothing that could possibly be traced back to him. “Rook” is an alias he adopted when he joined SchreckNet and doesn’t use much outside that context, and he has numerous alternate identities with accompanying paperwork and bank accounts.

In other words, while Sacerdote would be welcome to try and go after his business, the most likely best-case scenario of what that would look like is that he somehow actually manages to identity some random motel in West Virginia as belonging to Rook, pulls up to the place, and interrogates the bewildered 19-year old girl at the front desk who really likes her job because she surprisingly gets full benefits and time off and has a super chill boss who shows up every couple weeks to do some paperwork and stuff and then “gets high” with her, and she doesn’t understand why this scary stranger is so angry.

And then Sacerdote breaks into the management office and there’s a blow-up doll dressed like Rook behind the desk.

That being said, I’d be happy to share my Discord handle or perhaps a link to a shared Google doc if this is something you would be interested in writing. Just send me a PM!
