Biography
| “ | Rich bastards screwed the country- but did they suffer? No, the little people suffered | ” |
| — Nines Rodriguez | ||
Nines is the most ascendant anarch in LA in the modern nights. He is the main reason of lots of young kindred joining the Anarch Movement - idealistic, brave and ready for a fight. When Nines was embraced, but he was sireless and he managed to survive on his own and he has no tolerance by innocents getting hurt by the authorities; the fervor originated from his Kine days during the Great Depression, where he blamed those of power and wealth for taking advantage of the disenfranchised.
He can be found in the Downtown bar the Last Round; Skelter, Smiling Jack, and Damsel can also be found there. Presumably he is not an elder, nontheless very very tough guy who was able to behead a werewolf in single combat. If asked if he is the leader of the Anarchs, he will react awkwardly, even offended by such a statement. Malkavians refer to Nines as 'he of the numbered name'.
It's hinted by Maximilian Strauss that despite his allegiance, Rodriguez is desired as an ally by the Camarilla (possibly because of his influence over keeping Kindred together after the Kuei-Jin invasion). He is the only one who can politically intimidate the Camarilla Prince Sebastian LaCroix.
He is adept in using fire arms and apparently a master of hand-to-hand combat.
Game notes
In terms of quests Rodriguez does not send you to do his bidding, but rather offers advice and warning. Though other Anarchs will ask favors of you, Nines simply exists as a friend. Later, you will be asked to meet Nines in the forest where the both of you will be attacked by werewolves. While the player must use the observatory doors to kill the werewolf or wait until the tram arrives, Nines fought and tore the head off the Werewolf that attacked him with (presumably) his bare hands and/or hand grenade, which is a rare feat as a single Werewolf has been known to kill groups of Vampires. When siding with the Anarchs, you will be asked to meet him at a motel where you find in him bloodied and torn along with a werewolf head. In the Lone Wolf ending, Nines and two other Anarchs will meet up with the player, only to be coldly shunned via the player's middle finger.

Trivia
- Rodriguez is mentioned in the novel Gehenna: The Final Night. An Anarch faction, referred to as MacNeils, has evidently set fire to his haven.
- It is possible that Nines was modeled after the likeness of his voice actor Armando Valdes-Kennedy.
