Nosferatu

Hideously disfigured by the Embrace, so they keep to the sewers shadows and traffic in the secrets they collect.

Nicknames: The Clan of the Hidden, Sewer Rats, Lepers (archaic), Priors, Crawlers (Renaissance), Nossies

Disciplines: Animalism, Obfuscate, Potence

Bane: Repulsiveness: Hideous and vile, all Nosferatu count as having the Repulsive Flaw (-2) and can never increase their rating in the Looks Merit. In addition, any attempt to disguise themselves as non-deformed incurs a penalty to the dice pool equal to the character's Bane Severity (this includes the Obfuscate powers Mask of a Thousand Faces and Manifold Guise). However, most do not break the Masquerade by just being seen.

Compulsion: Cryptophilia: vampires become consumed with a hunger for secrets, to know that which few or no one knows, almost as strong as that for blood. They also refuse to share secrets with others, except in strict trade for greater ones.
