Mata Hari's Origins

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.trading-cards.jyhad (More info?)

Hello All,

Does anyone know where/when Mata Hari was introduced into the World of
Darkness? I know there was an old movie title Mata Hari, but I am
unsure as to if this Movie is the source of the card. I have checked
the Original Kindred Most Wanted book, and Children of the Night, but I
can still not locate her.

Thanks,
David

There's also a brief writeup about her in Clanbook: Assamite Revised.

Google-ing for:

"mata hari" vampire masquerade

turns up the following link:

http://www.rpg.net/news+reviews/reviews/rev_4394.html

which suggests she turns up in Clanbook: Ravnos Revised.

Gertrud Zelle, aka Mata Hari, was a not-terribly-competent spy that
passed a handful of Allied secrets on to the Reich in WW II. There was
a great scandal when she was discovered, and much of her infamy can be
written up to people trying to make the French general she seduced look
like less of an idiot.

That's history. Dunno what the game made of her.
