Nosferatu
Vampire (Lilum) Bloodline
New Kings of a World as Ugly as They
← Back to Vampire (Lilum)
Who They Are
The Nosferatu went from the dregs of Kindred society to its new kingmakers. The Sundering disfigured much of the world's population — in the entry camps at the Basilica outskirts, the Nosferatu can walk among diseased and altered survivors without breaking the Veil. They turned their love of information into an open business. They sit at tables the Ventrue cannot access, hold information the old Camarilla would have killed for, and know every secret in every basement in the city. It feels good to be the king.
