1999: As the Red Star rises, many Warriors join the Sword of Caine, the sect from which they can best position themselves to take revenge on behalf of their clan. Most Healers choose to stay in hiding rather than support the monstrosity of the Sword. Brighid meets with Adonai and offers him council, which he refutes and dismisses.
2000-2008: Mass embraces are common during the Sabbat crusades, and the Warriors of the Salubri become far more populous as they participate. Brighid works with the Anarch movement supporting members of the sword who have decided to leave for whatever reason. 2008: Second Inquisition hunters begin networking and coordinating their actions. The Sabbat’s casual disregard of the Masquerade means that they’re the easiest target, and are hit hardest. Many Salubri Die, Mace comes to Brighid asking for asylum.
2009: Seen leading a small contingent of Salubri at The Ritual to Save The World.
October 31st, 2011: The Beckoning. Many of the oldest Salubri disappear. For unknown reasons, many more embraces result in Healers instead of Warriors. Brighid almost succumbs to the beckoning, but Mace and his gang talk her away from the edge and back towards the path of humanity, urging her to not listen to the same siren call that has claimed so many other elders.
Many of the Healers leave the Sabbat, or conceal their identity as Pander due to the common stance that the bloodline is too weak to be part of the Sword. Brighid assists in spreading refugee Salubri healers across the globe.
February 8th, 2012: Vienna is attacked by FIRSTLIGHT, and the Tremere Prime Chantry is destroyed along with - presumably - Tremere himself. While some Salubri celebrate, others brace for a retaliation that never comes. Brighid sets up her home in Atlanta like a fortress, providing a safe haven for guests to heal. Both Kindred and Kine are treated at her Haven Clinic.
2013: Temoch calls all Sabbat to Mexico City. With Clan Tremere having withdrawn, however, the Salubri’s own war may have just ended, and many choose to not answer, rather help their Healer cousins. Priscus Adonai is not there and hasn’t been seen in some time; he’s presumed dead. Brighid publically steps out into Kindred society, purposefully calling attention to herself for the first time in two millennia. She offers to harbor any who are looking for a place to belong to be adopted into her rapidly growing Family. She specifically courts those who have been discarded either during their human life due to marginalization, or during their immortal life due to their clan of embrace.
2015: Finally able to gather as Warriors and Healers, together, under the banner of a single clan, the Salubri seek a Sect to call home. After announcements from Clan Tremere clear the public accusations of infernalism associated with them, the Salubri find a home among the Anarch Movement. While Brighid allies herself publicly with the Movement, she declines to join so as to remain neutral to any who might have need of her services.
2020: Brighid adopts two new members into her family- a Tzimisce named Evelyn Mitchell, and a Salubri named Arthur.

"Put your quote here." - Your Name
- "Mother Brighid is many things to many people, but a few have remained true no matter how much time has passed. She is a wellspring of caring and love, she is a survivor, and she is the light by which I guide myself in the darkness. I may never return to the home of my childhood, but because of her I will always be able to find my way home." - Dr. Marcel Trevisani
- "A number of kindred have said that Brighid and I share many of the same ideals. However, our difference lies in our priorities. She prioritized her ethics of mercy. I prioritized the survival of my family. To each of us goes the fruits of our labors." - Nissim Melamed
- "She walks Arikel's Labyrinth with a conviction I envy and that requires she show a level of care and compassion to the undeserving that most of us cannot muster. Don't mistake that for being *nice.*" -Bob
- "Nissim might have saved my life and showed me the ropes, but Brighid is the one who showed me what family really means in the vampire world. She's who I want to be someday." - Evelyn Mitchell-Vykos
- "Someone's eyes say a lot about them. I don't know what she's been through, but to have the ability to be as kind as she is with eyes like hers. There is no strength greater." - Queenie
