1. There are Caitiff in the Court, and somehow no one has started hunting them down yet. The creatures are a threat not only to the Tower, but to every single vampire in the world. They're the heralds of the End Times, and they need to be hunted down and purged.
2. The Court is off of its war footing. The Prince was killed, Elysium was violated, and now all anyone cares about is investigating. They forget that the Sect's enemies don't stop moving just because the Tower has some internal conflict. You're not necessarily a warrior yourself, though you're no slouch, but what you really are is an excellent judge of talent. Reach out to members of other Factions and try to establish a working relationship with their more martially capable members. If things go well, maybe you can work out a deal to protect the Nouveau Riche.
3. [[The Firstborn]] killed the Prince. It's so obvious, you don't know how the rest of the city hasn't come to the conclusion. They've been his political rivals for nearly a century, and you hear rumors that the Prince was finally prepared to make a decisive move against them. If you can expose them as the regicides they are, it will win the political battle that Patience is in and wipe out your biggest enemy, all in one blow.
