Vampire: The Masquerade – Milan Uprising: Playable Character Expansion Pack is an expansion for Vampire: The Masquerade – Milan Uprising released in 2024 for 1–4 players, 40–90 minutes per game, and ages 18 and up.

Four new Archons are ready to join the fight against the Camarilla, with their highly detailed smart miniatures. Domenica Amato (Lasombra) A criminal boss, and a masterful schemer and manipulator. As a Lasombra Kindred she has found her true calling as an apex predator, and as an Anarch she is determined to bring retribution to those of her clan who betrayed her sire to join the Camarilla. Aristide Demiana (The Ministry) A consummate storyteller, liar and media influencer. In his hands the truth is as malleable as clay, and he sees the reputation of any Kindred as something easily made, and easily broken. He has travelled to Milan to boost the morale and the image of the Anarch Movement in their time of need. Jemilah Ianni (Hecata) A former nurse exposed for speeding unwary and unfortunate mortals to their deaths. As a Kindred she has continued her work, but now with greater artistry, and in the name of her new family, the Hecata clan. Her family have sent her to aid the Anarchs against their mutual enemy Prince Prospero. Romeo De Carlo (Tzimisce) An avant-garde artist, a committed punk, and talented in the art of rogue taxidermy. He relishes in the shock of others, and exhibits grotesque tableaus to the delight of his devoted followers. He believes deeply in the Anarch cause and hopes to make his mark in Milan. —description from the publisher
