These include, and finally.: The Serpentis 4 power, Apep's Semblance, turns the character into a humanoid snake monster.: The Quietus Discipline, wielded by the Assamites.: The Osebo and Ishtarri Bloodlines are actually offshoots of the Brujah and Toreador Clans introduced by the Supplement.

He provides the Clan Quest for Toreador players. He can also be Diablerized if you join the Sabbat.: If you Diablerized Ash and VV beforehand, then diablerize him and have good enough Intimidation, you can essentially break him down to be fully compliant to you as you've fully taken away everything of value to him: his childer's souls and his own.: Being in the film business, he wants to make a simple documentary in his Clan Quest.

In the Clan Quest mod, it's probably bad.: When meeting her Sire in the Nosferatu Clan Quest, he clearly delights in the way she was a 'Filthy, fluid covered beast before she left the Sabbat' and how he enjoys making women into the 'broken bleeding pulsating core of humanity' they truly are. Little wonder why she is the way she is now.: As the Nosferatu Clan Quest reveals, she was once in the Sabbat.: If you use Dementation on her when diablerizing her, you can make her get lost in the madness to subsume her. Malkavian Fledgeling: Your heart's bleeding, don't let that medium go to waste.

Let's you and us paint the world in red.: If you complete her quests while staying on her good side, she gives you a sexy dance, then, implicitly, asks you to have sex with her, before a fade to black.: Played with. In the Nosferatu Clan Quest, Bertram recounts how she told him to his face 'when did rats stop being good enough for you' when not allowing Nosferatu into her club, even though she made a deal with them to put Vesuvius on the map. Needless to say,.: When you diablerize her and try to persuade her to merge into your soul because of your collective social prowess, she declares that she hasn't said or done anything to hurt anyone.despite the fact that she was willing to send you off to kill Chastity and/or Julius.: Arturo diablerizes her if you side with Victoria, making diablerizing her impossible unless you joined with Hazel Tomes.: If you've stayed on her good side when you've diablerized her, and you have good seduction, you can convince her you diablerized her out of love.

He seems to treat the Fledgling kindly while within the Sabbat, and is willing to overlook failures or previous offenses against him if the Fledgeling has done things to outweigh the failure or rectify the previous offenses. He also gleefully teaches the Fledgling the ways of the Sabbat, as well as of it's clans and cultures.

He is willing to overlook that the Fledgeling has failed to kill Gary by bringing him information on the Sarcophagus's whereabouts.: He speaks of this, namely that the idea of unleashing the Antediluvian is a terrible idea. He does become overcome with his own ambitions, going from 'Destroy the sarcophagus' to 'keep it safe to confirm which antediluvian we destroy' to 'Diablerize the Antediluvian'. You can talk him out of it though.: The Tremere and Strauss in general. The Tremere bit is obvious, but he outright hates Strauss because Andrei witnessed him turning his childer into Gargoyles.: If you fail to persuade him not to open the Sarcophagus, when he opens it, he sees the bomb and lets out a short 'Oh.'

Before the explosion.: Andrei may be your typical Tzimisce, using on those he sees unworthy or nobody would miss, but even he curses the inhumanity Strauss and the Tremere went through to obtain their powers and satisfy their curiosities. Especially in how they create Gargoyles from Gangrel, Nosferatu and Tzimisce vampires.: In order to join the Sabbat, he gives you a simple request: 'Kill Gary Golden and the Nosferatu'. It gets subverted in that you're able to get Gary down to half health, but you do fight him and are able to bring him a laptop with information to the Sarcophagus's whereabouts, allowing you to still get into the Sabbat.: If you manage to have good enough with him, you can talk him out of wanting to diablerize whoever is within the Sarcophagus by citing how he's taught you the Antediluvians should be purged no matter what.

He realizes this and proceeds to burn the thing in an incinerator.: Enforced in the Sabbat with a special rite known as Monomacy. If you're with Victoria's pack and talk to her enough to learn about it, you can declare this on him as he makes his desire to diablerize the ancient within the Sarcophagus known. What ensues is essentially a fight to the death.: As you continue on the Sabbat side of things, he seems to go from wanting to destroy the sarcophagus to wanting to safekeep it, to see which antediluvian is inside it. He eventually gets overcome by his own ambitions in wanting to diablerize the Antediluvian within.: For the Sabbat's philosophies, and for describing the Lasombra, Tzimisce, and Antitribu Clans.: He gives you a chance to join the Sabbat. What makes it a dog petting moment is that he offers this to the Tremere Fledgeling as well, who the Tzimisce are noted to hate en masse. If a Nosferatu expresses distaste on how they look and asks Andrei if they can do something about it, Andrei tells them that it is a blessing from Caine rather than a curse.: Depending on how much you speak to him or how you talk to him, you can get to know him better and earn his trust, which is a lot more than what you can do with LaCroix.

If you have enough points, you can convince him not to open up the Sarcophagus and just burn it.: Comes with being the Sabbat Archibishop. He does also display some disgust for Victoria's ethnicity, but follows it up by her qualities as a person outdoing them.: As a Tzimisce, Auspex is a clan discipline. It's noted more than once that he's using it on you, in particular being aware of your distaste for LaCroix by the time you meet him.: Oooooh boy! If you're at the end game and use the Rite of Monomacy on him, you're in for a ride! Essentially, the Rite of Monomacy is invoked when two Sabbat Kindred don't see eye to eye. It usually goes as a fight to the death, with the one who was challenged being able to set the terms of the fight. Andrei sets the terms that you both are limited to your disciplines and fists.to which he molds himself into his with Fortitude maxed out, and dealing ridiculous aggravated damage and taking very little.

You WILL need to make use of anything to reduce damage, be it Fortitude, Protean, Thaumaturgy, Presence, etc, if you want to survive. Especially if you made use of Diablerie to increase your ratings in those skills or gain new disciplines.

And even THEN he's still tough!.: If you infiltrate the Sabbat, Andrei disappears from the story after Hazel and Victoria are dead.: After talking about the Tremere with Andrei, if you're playing as a Tremere Fledgling and point out that he's talking about your clan, he notes that you were embraced outside of the Pyramid and thus can do or learn more than one inside of it can. He does however note that his clan's history is tainted, and trust will not come easily to you from the Sabbat or from him. One of the Ducti within East LA, who is notably new to the area. Hazel Tomes is a Malkavian Priest who gathers the lower classes of the area as part of his herd, and who believes he has a higher calling he must follow at all costs.: Though he never explicitly says it, he does uses church themes and his congregation come to worship him more than anyone else, and he is clearly a huge megalomaniac.: Being a Malkavian Antitribu, it comes with the territory. He's noted to have made one of the congregation members who went back to doing drugs begin cutting open his own arms before draining him dead.: Apparently Bishop Vick was once Hazel's Childe. His creation rites involved locking him in a slaughterhouse with a meat cleaver and a room full of 'non-believers'. Needless to say, this broke Vick.: There are certain things he says that do point to the truth.

For example, he declares that Victoria is a 'heartless monster'. Other dialogue with Victoria confirms that she has removed her heart and buried it elsewhere, as Serpentis's 'Heart of Darkness' power can do that.: He truly wants to elevate himself and his congregation to greatness, and wants to paint the world in his mad delusions of salvation.: He sees Humanity as a weakness in Vampires, and chides you if you act too human. He also tries breaking it out of his childer, and was quite a bit too rough with Bishop Vick.

He tries to be a bit more gentle about it with Ariana.: After where LaCroix has been manipulating you since you entered the Sabbat, he says you should be grateful for even coming to get you. If the Fledgeling asks why they bothered, it's because the Vaulderie is literally compelling him to save you anyhow, despite his personal thoughts on the matter.: Averted. He's disgusted by his failure with Vick and is happy to hear he's dead.: His plans against Victoria. He gets you to deface Jesse's murals, then give Arturo a briefcase of aztec gold and say it was a peace offering from Victoria in exchange for Ariana's life. Then he embraces Ariana to be his childe, then reveal to Victoria that Arturo conveniently has her missing gold coins that were stolen from her safe earlier and to settle it all at the congregation. When everyone gets there, Victoria is that Ariana has been embraced, Arturo is pissed off at Victoria and going against her, and Jesse is pissed at everyone there and wants to kill them all with the only real force still there being Hazel's Pack.: The Malkavian Fledgeling refers to him as 'The Father of Lies'. While he serves as a Priest, he does not do so for Christianity, and instead only serves himself.

Arturo refers to him as.: He is the priest of his own church, and is content to spread fear and devotion to God to himself. One of the Ducti within East LA, who has been there for awhile. Victoria is a Setite Antitribu, known as the Serpents of the Light. She controls various gangs such as the Latin Kings, and hooks people by vice and drugs to her cause, no matter what it may be.: Despite being manipulative and corruptive, she does genuinely care about her pack and will teach you things about the Sabbat, including various rites and people to know about. She does retain an affable demeanor as well.

She applauds you if you use the Rite of Monomacy against Andrei, saying you aren't manipulated by the temptation of the ancients. This gets subverted if you choose to tell her that you're ultimately doing it to have the Antediluvian for yourself.: Definitely so.

She spends her first scenes you meet her emphasizing that you are beneath her and will do what she says, no questions asked. She later delves into, at least as much as one can be in the Sabbat. She does lace loads of death threats into her conversations if you pry into things you shouldn't be worrying about, at least to her standards.: Whatever you do, do not question Ariana's importance to her. It's none of your concern.

Especially as Ariana is her granddaughter. She also takes her devotion to Xiucoatl very seriously, and dislikes Malkavians bringing up information to things they do not understand. Download knights of the old republic. Bringing up the Yama Kings to Ming?

Bringing up whether Victoria is worthy of Xiucoatl? Death threats.: Befitting her clan, she does partake in corrupting people and getting them hooked to vices. Arturo who is her grandson is no exception, as she introduces him to the power high that is Diablerie.: Her reaction if you use the Rite of Monomacy to kill Andrei, only to try taking the power of the antediluvian for yourself.: She is still attached to her mortal granddaughter, Ariana, and is somewhat attached to Arturo despite not considering him worthy of being in her family.

A Lasombra within East LA, who is part of a nomadic pack who got decimated within San Francisco. He offers his services, namely easy feedings from blood dolls, to the Sabbat of East LA.: Nobody really cares about him or sees anything positive about him save for his services. Even the fanbase who know of him in the mod hate him for his.: He comes off as polite and respectable businessman.except that said business is prostitution and his thoughts on women.: Has Obtenebration 6 at minimum.

He uses it to teleport in your way if you try getting to the girls without having paid at first. He also uses Arms of the Abyss if you sided with the Sabbat and fight him.: Uses Dominate frequently to make his girls compliant and unwilling to go against him, while 'turning them into the whores they always were'.: His. He only loves money, and will do whatever it takes to achieve it. Even if that means backstabbing both of the local packs by threatening their power (stealing their drugs and/or trying to remove the church), or backstabbing the Sabbat by acting as a gofer for the the Sarcophagus transaction.: He's only really interested in turning a buck, and does so with his prostitutes.: He sees women as disposable assets, and the only thing they're good for is being whores.: If you join the Sabbat, he'll hand over Ariana if you rescue Barabus from the Kuei-Jin. If you've infiltrated the Sabbat, that quest will already be done, so he'll only hand over Ariana if you sell him another Hispanic woman to replace her.: If you infiltrate the Sabbat, he will leave at the conclusion of the bout, meaning he doesn't pay for anything he's done.: If you joined the Sabbat from Kings Way, when confronted by either Hazel or Victoria for his misdeeds against them (trying to get the church removed and stealing the drugs respectively), his death qualifies. For one, he's killed by a woman (Victoria or Ariana).

It becomes doubly so if Ariana is with you, as she was abused by the Mack. It equally qualifies if you side with Victoria, who embraces Arturo, as it's basically Ariana's grandmother and brother fighting against the man who pimped her out.: The Malkavian refers to him as 'The Lone Sleeper'. It refers to how his pack has gotten decimated in California.: If you side with the Camarilla and infiltrate the Sabbat, and manage to take them out, he will not be at his place anymore. A Lasombra who appears in the Ventrue Clan Quest, who offers his services in dealing with the Prince's request.: As a Lasombra, he has Obtenebration. He uses it to teleport via Shadowstep.: He offers a way to get rid of the Assamite Antitribu, as he is collaborating with the Camarilla and thus should be killed. He also tries betraying you, because he wants the Antediluvian to himself.: Comes with being a Lasombra.

He comes to the Ventrue Fledgeling and offers a way to kill Adithia and fulfill LaCroix's request at the same time. He also does this to get close to you so he can kill you, and asks if you really thought the Sabbat would accept you.: If the Ventrue Clan Quest is done, and the player invades the Hallowbrook Hotel, Lorenzo appears on the first floor to offer a way out of the entire level by getting the Sabbat to lay low. If the Ventrue Clan Quest isn't done (which player characters from other clans can't do in the first place), Lorenzo merely attacks upon sighting you, and gets killed along with the rest of the Sabbat mooks.Independents.

A character added in when the Sabbat were added in, Jesse is a Gangrel who is currently underneath LaCroix's thumb due to a involving the Sabbat. He can be found loitering about in East LA, and he serves as your advisor if you make it to East LA.: Siding with Victoria has her want you to kill Jesse and bring back some part of him as a trophy, namely his arm.

If you're infiltrating and don't want to kill him, you lop off his arm instead.: Has golden eyes as part of his curse.: Being a Gangrel, he has access to Animalism. He has more than a few dogs he takes care of and loves.: Messing up his art or killing his dogs are his. If you side with Hazel, he wants you to deface Jesse's murals around town and kill the dogs guarding them for good measure to make him come to the chapel all pissed off. You can avert this by asking Jesse about it, having him lay low, then lying to Hazel about ruining the murals. He doesn't take kindly to being yanked on a chain, and will tell the Fledgeling off if they try to assume LaCroix's authority on them.: If you've infiltrated the Sabbat and haven't pissed him off (destroy his artwork or kill him), he'll come to your rescue at the church confrontation.: Non-romantic, but the reason why he does as much as he does for the Fledgeling is because the Fledgeling's situation reminds him of his own.

They're both at LaCroix's beck and call and cannot leave until the debt is 'settled'.: Indulges in art, skateboarding, pot and sex. After meeting up with Ming Xiao in Chinatown, a new NPC appears around where the cab is and asks if you want to go out for a night on the town. It soon turns out that this woman, Kalliyan, is actually a Kuei-Jin, but she's willing to hang out with a Kindred just to see how they're like. Her quest is known as 'The Dance of the Thrashing Dragon'.: Most Kuei-Jin adhere to a Dharma, mainly as a way to atone for their past life's mistakes. Kalliyan is no exception, and is doing it through living her life to the fullest and experiencing what she never was able to.: As it turns out, Kalliyan was originally a young man named Kai.

Kalliyan was his girlfriend, and they would go out and have a ball during university. Having sex, drugs, the whole schpiel.

They eventually got drugs from someone who wasn't their usual guy, and they both died after shooting up. Kalliyan: If an elder. That's Ming Xiao, proves to be a corrupt bitch, which she has, then basically I don't have to do what she says anymore!

In this case, it's this under the table deal she's been cutting with the enemy: that's you. If she can play politics with the westerners, then surely I can afford a night of dancing with your kind!.: She essentially reveals a good portion of details that make up the gameline for Vampire The Masquerade.: If the night goes on well enough, Kalliyan reveals her true story that she was actually a man named Kai, but due to circumstances his soul now inhabits the body of Kalliyan, who was Kai's girlfriend. The player character can play the trope straight by reacting with revulsion to this revelation, or subvert it by being completely cool with it.Humans. A mortal who has been running the longest with the Latin Kings, and is pretty much beneath Victoria in terms of power. He is also Ariana's brother, and wants to keep her from harm.

He's also Victoria's grandson.: His and Ariana's mother was a drunk who was casually abused by their father. Arturo chased off the father when old enough.: If you join with Victoria, she embraces him to become a vampire.: He does care about Ariana and doesn't want her into the gang business. When Hazel's plot gets him to believe that Victoria is letting Ariana die, he absolutely loses his shit.: He was once in the US Marines, then spent more than a decade in a street gang.: A good portion of his dialogue is littered with spanish intermingling with english.: Victoria gets him addicted to Diablerie, which forms into this as he gets to itching and craving for another taste.: The Malkavian refers to him as 'The Venom Prince'. This seems to refer to how he's within the drug trade and is the highest human in it.

It also hints at his relationship to Victoria, who is 'The Serpent Queen' and is his grandmother.: When their mother passed away, he pretty much became the parent of the household.: He's put into two of these by Victoria. The first is the 'Grand Theft Auto' game she pulls onto the Fledgeling. They were meant to stir up trouble, then run to the Laundromat where Arturo is. Since the Laundromat is the base of operations for the drug running, Arturo goes off to get the cops chasing him in hopes that the others won't get caught.

She's also lost all her friends because of this too.: She is one, believing that life in the slums can get better if people just try to help clean up the place.
