Master manipulators, influence brokers and scions of hidden power - the Lasombra as their moniker implies, ply the Jyhad as a vicious game from thc comfortable obscurity of darkness and misdirection. Raised from the Spanish and Italian upper class, the Lasombra exercised their influence over the Church and nobility of the Dark Ages, turning mortal rulers to their whims and bending entire societies to their service. This practice continues unabated as the Lasombra bow to no other Clan, instead leading the Sabbat with keen, cultured sensibilities and ruthless efficiency.
NOTE: The Lasombra are no longer a playable Clan in UnMasqued.
Disciplines: Dominate, Obtenebration, Potence
Clan Advantage: One free dot of Church, Politics or Underworld influence. One free Sabbat Status Trait.
Clan Disadvantage: Lasombra do not appear on any reflective surface, including mirrors, water or windows, nor do they appear on black and white film. They also take an additional level of damage from exposure to sunlight.
CARDINAL FRANCISCO DOMINGO DE POLONIA
Player: Canonical NPC
Appearance: Polonia was exceedingly tall for a Cainite of his years, standing six feet, with ramrod straight carriage and large hands that looked at home carrying either a sword and a firearm. He had a black, neatly trimmed beard that matched his short black hair and dark eyes. Perhaps for the sake of contrast, Polonia often dressed in white or grey, although he always was seen wearing a very old silver crucifix. The one flaw in Polonia's image was the severe sunburn which afflicted him at the time of his Embrace, which lingered to his last nights.
Appearance (Mechanics): [3] Appearance-related Traits (Alluring, Magnetic x2), obvious Negative Social Traits (Scarred - Sunburn)
Description: Originally a Spanish explorer in South America, Polonia spent his early years both as a mortal and as a Cainite pushing to overtake a span of New Mexico, first for Spain and later for the Sabbat. Upon finally succeeding in his mission in 1680, when he allegedly drove several packs of local werewolves out of the region, Polonia began his slow but steady ascent both in rank and in generation - through merit in the former instance, and through judicious application to the Courts of Blood in the latter.
At his height, Polonia earned command over all of the Sabbat's operations on the East Coast. Unfortunately for him, his job was a trying one. The loss of New York overshadowed many of his previous successes in Atlanta, the northern Carolinas and Florida, and he was determined that it should be taken back.
Perhaps it was this determination that eventually led de Polonia to his fall. Following a series of disappearances from New York Sabbat under his Domain, and a reported investigation from the Inquistion, Polonia was eventually confronted and killed by the hand of Ductus Layla Reese and her packmates. After his demise and the ensuing investigation of his haven, it was soon found that suspicions of his alleged infernalism might well be proven true, and that the collective Sword of Caine owes it's thanks to Reese for her actions.
DONATELLO "DONNY" CENCI
A.K.A.: Donnie Darko, The Boogey Man
Player: UnMasqued NPC (formerly played by Joe)
Appearance: n/a
Appearance (Mechanics): [1] Appearance-related Traits (Gorgeous)
Description: No bio submitted.
MARIA DEL TORRO
A.K.A.: Georgia
Player: Inactive (formerly played by Anya)
Appearance: Maria del Torro bore a a striking resemblance to Carrie Fisher, were Carrie Fisher plagued with having a mess of abyssal sigils worked into her bizarre and supernaturally obsidian skin, and if she radiated a palpable aura of damnation.
Appearance (Mechanics): [3] Appearance-related Traits (Alluring x3), obvious Negative Physical Traits (Delicate x2), obvious Social Flaw (Mistaken Identity (Carrie Fisher))
Description: Maria is this foolishly naive girl who had the good sense to be Embraced but the bad sense to not fully leave her humanity at the door. Her quest for knowledge was leading her in the right path until that self righteous bitch of a Tremere came into her life and fucked everything up. After her little "relationship" with the man-whore Lucas she lost what little spine she used to have.
That's ok though. It was easier for me to take over at that point. I used Maria's love for him to spread the abyss that much further; after all the Lasombra shouldn't get to have all the fun. The rest of you vampires should get to join in as well. Lucas did the dirty work. He spread the word bringing all of us closer to the beginning of the world. You know the part before that little pest called God decided to create light. In darkness you were created and in darkness you will return. Don't ignore the call.
