Hecata

An insular, extended family of vampires who practice the art of commanding the dead while commanding global finances. (Both subsumes and replaces Clan Cappadocian and Clan Giovanni.)

Nicknames: The Clan of Death, Necromancers, Graverobbers, The Family, Stiffs, Corpses, Devil-Kindred, Lazarenes

Faction: Autarkis

Disciplines: Auspex, Fortitude, Oblivion

Bane: Painful Kiss: Due to mysterious changes in the Blood, many Hecata no longer have their old curses—the Samedi are no longer rotting corpses, the Nagaraja no longer require the sustenance of flesh, and the Cappadocian and Harbingers of Skull no longer have their corpse-like complexion—instead, they now all share the same clan bane: the excruciatingly painful Kiss.

Compulsion: Morbidity: A sense of morbid curiosity. The Hecata's Blood urges them to study the individuals around them for signs of illness, frailty, or impending death. Until they have either predicted a death or solved the cause of a local one, the vampire suffers a three-dice penalty to other rolls. Their conclusions do not need to be absolutely correct, but should stay within the boundaries of the possible.
