Biography

Once, I was pursuing activities out in the City of Angels. I met such a beauty. Despite my age, she was attracted to me! I never saw one so vivacious, yet such delicate depths, my lad. Such delicate depths. She called me “daddy”. She’s Baron of Santa Monica, now. Such a delight. Esau had to go and ruin it by Embracing her sister.
  — Jacob

Although Therese is a Malkavian, she dresses and acts like a Ventrue; as her sister Jeanette Voerman states, "She won't even feed unless it's poured into a glass". Therese is loyal to the Camarilla, as referenced by Jeanette when talking about the Gallery Noir.

Therese has a dispute with Bertram Tung, making him difficult to find, as he is in a self-imposed exile, hiding from Therese. At first, she is apparently displeased by the main character's presence in her city. Eventually, however, Therese agrees to call off her hunt if the main character dislodges a ghost from the Ocean House Hotel.

During the events surrounding the Ankaran Sarcophagus, Jeanette and Therese came to an accord: they'd work together, but maintain the public appearance of near-violent disagreement in order to confound their opponents.

Therese maintained control over Santa Monica's Asylum, briefly rebranding it as "The New Asylum," while Jeanette opened a second location in Hollywood. The popularity of both locations continued to rise, and the Asylum franchise has gone international.
