Kiasyd

Kiasyd
The origins of the strange Kiasyd bloodline have been lost to the passage of centuries, but their affection for pomp and their curious powers lead some Cainites to suspect that their roots lie with the Lasombra.

The Kiasyd are scholars and keepers of secrets. They tend to be observers rather than taking an active part in acts such as War Parties. Kiasyd don't like to take physical actions against an opponent, preferring to spar with wits and words instead. They jealously guard their knowledge and their private collections.

The Kiasyd are well known for being very calm and studious. Their raison d'être centers around their collections of scrolls, books, spells and vampiric lore piled high on their library shelves. Their unusual stature and unquenchable thirst for knowledge make for very high-stacked shelves indeed.

The Kiasyd are nominally aligned with the Sabbat, although this has more to do with ancestry than anything else; the Kiasyd don't involve themselves in sect affairs and their temperament isn't well suited to the sect.

Nickname: Weirdlings

Appearance: The Kiasyd have retained the unusual beauty of the fae folk. Their skin is chalky white, which takes on a faint bluish glow in the moonlight. Rumor has it that the tone of a Kiasyd's skin is an indication of the age of the vampire, but Kiasyd are much too polite to talk about themselves, so no one knows for sure. They are willowy tall -- six to seven-and-a-half feet -- and they have angular noses, cheekbones and ears. The eyes of a Kiasyd have been similarly distorted, showing only inky blots with no discernible whites or pupils. Some Kiasyd prefer to dress in Victorian of goth clothing to reflect their studious, somber mood, much to the amusement of more modernized vampires. Long hair or a bandana, and sunglasses hide their unique appearance from prying eyes.
