Further Information
The Court of Kansas City was formed in 1890, with Elder Archibald Crane of clan Tremere as the first Prince of the city.
In 1912, the Prince came into conflict with the newly formed Kansas City Crime Family, run by Joseph "Joe Church" and Peter "Sugarhouse Pete" DiGiovanni, who laid claim to Kansas City and did not appreciate the Camarilla's presence. The new kindred were aggressive and a not so silent turf war soon erupted between the Camarilla and the Giovanni.
The Camarilla stood their ground for just over two decades. Their fortunes changed following a pair of events in 1933: the Kansas City massacre and the disappearance of Prince Crane.
Shortly after the Kansas City Massacre, Prince Crane disappeared in 1933 under mysterious circumstances. This finally prompted the Camarilla to attempt to openly push back against the Giovanni and the Kansas City Crime Family.
Though the Camarilla struck back, it was too little, too late. The Giovanni were too firmly entrenched within every level of the city. The Camarilla vampires were forced to give up Kansas City to the Giovanni and their mafia minions.
