Nosferatu
Caine’s childer are called “The Damned,” and no vam-pires
embody this more than do the wretches of Clan Nosferatu.
While other vampires still look human and may travel in
mortal society, Nosferatu are twisted and deformed by the
curse of vampirism. To put it bluntly, the Embrace transforms
them into hideous monsters. Unable to walk among humans,
Nosferatu must dwell in subterranean sewers and catacombs.
Other vampires revile Nosferatu, considering them disgusting
and interacting with them only when they must.
Because of this stigma, however, Nosferatu are survivors
par excellence. Few creatures, mortal or vampire, know the
city’s back alleys and dark corners like the Nosferatu do.
Additionally, Nosferatu have refined the crafts of sneaking
and eavesdropping to fine arts; if anyone or anything has the
latest dirt on mortal or vampiric society, it is the Nosferatu.
Finally, millennia of shared deformity and abuse have fostered
strong bonds among the monsters. Nosferatu forego the squab-bling
and feuds ubiquitous to the other clans, preferring to
work in unison. You mess with one, you mess with ‘em all —
and that can get messy indeed.…
