Malkavian
At first glance, the members of Clan Malkavian do not
appear to be a clan at all; they are chosen from all races, creeds
and social strata. But Malkavians, regardless of mortal stand-ing,
bear one disturbing commonality: They are all quite mad.
Whether from the clan’s choice of victims, the circumstances
of the Embrace, or some property in Malkavian blood itself, all
Malkavians go insane shortly after the transformation (if they
were not insane to begin with).
Accordingly, many Malkavians find themselves pariahs,
ostracized by a vampiric society fearful of their random urges
and capricious whims. Wiser Kindred, however, prefer to keep
the madmen close at hand: Behind the Malkavians’ lunatic
cackling and feverish rantings lie smatterings of insight, even
wisdom.
