ST Lead: Jean-Philippe Marcotte
Hi everyone,
I’ll be your ST Lead for the time of this Convention, thank you to remain calm and seated for the time of this flight. Few about myself or rumour about myself, nothing much to say, regular ST who took the job to give his player a chance to play a game they all liked... It kind of feels strange at first for every one when we first join the Club to see on the other side of the spectrum (ST-ing I mean) since I always had the reputation to be the player Killer around here. And now that I ST all the time no one dies anymore, let’s just hope I don’t consider CAiNE as a good place to start; or may be it could be... we’ll see!

I hope everyone will enjoy what we have prepared you so far. We had fun preparing it for you and we will be more than happy to see your face, no matter the look on it.

Bonjour Tout le monde,
Je vais être votre ST Lead pour le temps de cette convention, merci de garder votre calme et de demeuré assis tout au long du voyage. Quelques mots et rumeurs sur ma personne, en gros pas grand-chose à dire; ST tout ce qui a des plus régulier qui a pris le travail pour s’assurer que nous aurions un Game à jouer que nous aimerions… Ca juste été bizarre pour tout le monde de me voir traverser de l’autre coté du miroir quand on a joint la CAm (comme ST) étant donner que j’avais la réputation d’être le player Killer en ville. Maintenant que je suite ST tout le temps y’a plus personne qui meurt, espérons que je ne considère pas CAiNE comme un belle endroit pour recommencer ou peut-être… gna on verra ben!

J’espère que tout le monde va apprécier ce que nous vous avons préparé jusqu’à présent. Nous avons eu du fun à le préparer et avons bien hâte de voir votre face une fois de dedans et ce peut importe l’expression qui a dessus.

Forsaken Lead: Greg Grondin
Greg Grondin is an IT consultant and long time resident of Saint John, New Brunswick.  Enjoys art, a wide variety of music and of course good stories -- anything that stirs the imagination.  He spent most of his youth admiring people like Walt Disney, Jim Henson and Hayao Miyazaki -- all great storytellers.  When not working on Cam related work, he enjoys the company of friends, drawing some sketches, listening to music or playing a good video game.  Joined the Camarilla in 2002 and since then has found it to be a great creative outlet.  He's most proud of his weight loss -- loosing 125 lbs since 2007 -- and of course the large circle of friends he's made since joining the Cam.

Awakening Lead: Stephen Near
Stephen Near is the current CCFC ANST: Awakening and served as the Lead ST: Awakening for CAiNE 2009 in Toronto. A long-time role-player, Stephen is also a professional playwright, a member of the Playwrights Guild of Canada, and had productions of his work done across Canada. In 2009, Stephen's play Out-Of-Character (about a group of LARP gamers) was featured in the Toronto Fringe Theatre Festival in addition to his acting as script consultant for the hit CBC series Being Erika. Stephen is the recipient of the 2009 International Storyteller of the Year Award and his hobbies include coffee, conspiracy theories, and shamelessly transplanting real life into his fiction. Thanks to the club for an awesome two years as ANST: Awakening!

Lost Lead: Richard Chilton
In 1997, Richard Chilton was one of the founding members and first CST / DST of the House of Dark Tidings (CND-002) in Saint John, NB.  From there he move on to become Canada's first RST, and went on to win the Heidi Preuss Member of Year Award in 1999.  After stepping down as RST, he has mostly stayed active on the ST side of things, holding positions ranging from AGSA Order of Hermes to VST Requiem.  For the past two years he has been running the Lost Venue in Saint John - a city's whose nickname is "The Loyalist City". 

Sin-Eaters Lead: Derek Burrow
Derek Burrow has lost track of how many jobs he holds, and has held, in the Camarilla.  This is his third time being a lead at CAiNE in the last four years, a fact he only realized while writing this autobiography.  How could running a venue while being a grad student possibly go wrong?  In the few minutes of spare time he is allotted each down before being shoved back into the library, he enjoys bicycling, cooking, and being served very large drinks, preferably involving gin or tequila.  Look for him as the man in the top hat shouting very loudly at people.  His favourite thing about being a storyteller is the overabundance of opportunities to use the word 'puissant' in regular conversation.
