Category:Tzimisce

The Tzimisce, or ‘Fiends’, as they are known as are the soul of the Sabbat; their nickname has been passed on by kindred of old who have witnessed the horrors of the tortures and creations of this clan mastery, Vicissitude. Their reputation can be seen as being unwarranted, as the majority of the Tzimisce are rational reserved individuals, very intelligent and inquisitive, making impeccable guests. However, this quite human appearance is but a veneer for something quiet different. Some see the Tzimisce as unflinchingly evil; their understanding of the vampiric condition has simply allowed them to bend their minds and bodies to new levels of understanding, while youngsters of the clan can be seen to take perverse pleasure in inflicting this on others, it could be stated that elders of the clan simply fail to understand mercy and suffering, or it could be that hey no longer have any use for such irrelevant emotions. In ancient times the Tzimisce were powerful. Though many tried, it was the Tremere who succeeded in uprooting them, using the Tzimisce’s blood to give birth to the Tremere's undead condition. It is from this that the Tzimisce possess an unflinching hatred for the Warlocks. During the Anarch Revolt, the young of the clan discovered mystical means to break the blonds inflicted upon them by their elders, rising up and destroying what was left of their elder’s power base. Today, the Tzimisce serve the Sabbat as scholars, advisors and priests. Many of the sect’s customs originate from this clan. The Tzimisce are consummate explorers, always looking to discover the greater prepose of Kindred as a whole.

Clan Flaws: Tzimisce are fiercely territorial creatures, maintaining heavily guarded havens. Whenever a Tzimisce sleeps, they must surround themselves in at least two handfuls of dirt from a place important to them as a mortal. Failure to do so halves the Tzimisce dice pools for every 24 hours, until all actions only use one dice. This remains until they rest among their earth once more for a full day.

Clan Discipline: Animalism, Auspex, Vicissitude.
