Caine's childer are called "The Damned," and no vampires embody this more than do the wretches of Clan Nosferatu. While other vampires still look human and may travel in mortal society, Nosferatu are twisted and deformed by the curse of vampirism. To put it bluntly, the Embrace transforms them into hideous monsters. Unable to walk among humans, Nosferatu must dwell in subterranean sewers and catacombs. Other vampires revile Nosferatu, considering them disgusting and interacting with them only when they must.

Because of this stigma, however, Nosferatu are survivors par excellence. Few creatures, mortal or vampire, know the city's back alleys and dark corners like the Nosferatu do. Additionally, Nosferatu have refined the crafts of sneaking and eavesdropping to fine arts; if anyone or anything has the latest dirt on mortal or vampiric society, it is the Nosferatu. Finally, millennia of shared deformity and abuse have fostered strong bonds among the monsters. Nosferatu forego the squabbling and feuds ubiquitous to the other clans, preferring to work in unison. You mess with one, you mess with 'em all - and that can get messy indeed.

Weakness: Loathsome. As has been mentioned, Nosferatu are horrifically foul to look at, and not overly pleasant to boot. A Nosferatu's Social Trait is considered to be zero - though when intimidating others, he may substitute his Physical Trait for a Social Trait.- Vampire (White Wolf)

Quote: Oh, woe, my prince, that one so lowly as I hath offended thee! Flog me into torpor! Stake me and leave me for the sun! Lop off my head! Just...don't send me back to the fief of th Lassombra Contessa Isabel...What?She is your enemy, milord? Why yes, I did escape her impregnable fortress...through the secret tunnel, of course. What secret tunnel, you say? Well, milord, perhaps we should discourse in your private chambers... -Vampire: The Dark Ages (White Wolf)

The Nosferatu in Paris

The Nosferatu have absolutely no status or respect in Paris. The Toreadors despise them and the Prince would love to purge the city of them, but he risks a clan war if he does. The Nosferatu are large in numbers, but thei lair, to this day remains a secret (although somewhere in the sewers is a good guess). Most Nosfertau kindred in PAris are children. Theis angers the Toreadors even more. What manner of monster would embrace children. Harrod is the Prince's enemy, but will obey the Prince's laws as long as any of his clan are left alone. But this unwritten treaty could be broken at any time.
