Know Your Kindred – Troglodytia

Name:  Troglodytia
Clan:  Cappadocian
Generation:  Possibly 5th
Embraced:  Unknown

There is little information available to prove it, but all logic would conclude the Samedi bloodline is somehow connected to the former Clan of Death – the Cappadocians.  The former clan’s weakness was that its members resembled corpses, a disfigurement that is more pronounced in the Samedi, as they resemble putrid, rotting corpses.

The Cappadocian discipline of Mortis and the Samedi discipline of Thanatosis are very similar to each other, dealing with the study and exploitation of death.  On top of that, many Samedi possess Necromancy.   If the Samedi truly did evolve from the Cappadocian line, from whom did they descend?  Were the Giovanni involved?

Upon her Embrace Troglodytia was cursed with a horrible appearance that seem to fall on many new Cappadocians of the time.  Her face showed advanced decomposition.  Her disgusting appearance made her unapproachable and drew mean-spirited insults from her peers.  But through it all Troglodytia wore her condition as a badge of matrydom and was determined to rise above it all.

She took up company with a group of Nosferatu, but her mastery of Obfuscate is not advanced enough to hide her appearance.  But true to her martyr self, she has made the best of her lot, becoming a mercenary, acting as a broker for the Cappadocians and Giovanni, procuring dead bodies for experimentation, odd herbs and alchemical ingredients, as well as strange artifacts that come to her attention.  She has become a veritable black market all by herself.

Trogldytia is content to work for any benefits and promises she can gather.  Who knows what will come of the favors she gains?
