A Clan of shadow and purpose, created out of vengeance, their sole objective has been the elimination of mages and their orders. To do so they have forsaken all magical practice and gained the help from the shadows themselves to defeat this foe.
Over time they have created allies and enemies in their crusade, yet many see them as the moral high ground of the Undying Society. But they are zealous, willing to go to extremes to fulfill their goals.
They now face a reality that has been a long time coming. They haven’t succeeded in their purpose, what will become of the Clan and how will the prospect of a new goal change the foundation itself?
| ST Note: Clan Nephilim plays with the idea of being a warrior Clan in political turmoil. No matter how single minded a fighter your Character is, you are expected to take a position in the internal political conflict.For you it’s important to figure out which Reform your Character subscribes to, and how the Nephilim needs to change to fit that viewpoint. |

Traits
Holy Warriors
Each act of evil is one step closer to the light of redemption. But when you do not seem to be moving any steps it is because you forgot to act.
The Nephilim swore a disturbing oath as they killed their king, an oath that gave them their shadowy powers and protection from the magical.
The first Ritual cast upon you is Dispelled. Soulless Oath only Dispell a Ritual once per evening.
You can spend a Blood Point to suppress Soulless Oath whenever you are struck by a Ritual, so it does not Dispell that Ritual.
(Does not work against Perfection Rituals while participating in the Mass)

Clan Structure
Packs. Clan Nephilim is divided into many small groups called Packs, each is led by a Speaker who is the Pack member with most Honor. Advancement within is based on your own honor or another’s failure. The Clan is currently very corrupt by its lack of purpose, many misuses their gifts and few hold belief in the old ways. Yet everyone wants things to change.
Clan Embrace
Every Character has had an Embrace where they went from a Mortal without knowledge to a Vampire with knowledge, here we look into what kind of Character would usually be Embraced into the Nephilim.
Deserving of Eternity – You were a mortal Hunter serving the Nephilim trying to hunt down mages and rogue supernatural entities. The hunting has been quiet most of your life, but some still decided to reward you for your efforts or perhaps allegiance.
The Right Tool – You excelled in a field useful for the Nephilim, usually this means a shady field like espionage and assassinations. But maybe they didn’t recruit you for the hunt, just for personal gain.
Chosen by Nepotism – Honestly you weren’t chosen for anything besides personal relations, you were a friend, brother, sister and a Nephilim decided that you should live forever.
