Potent sorceries, crumbling castles, forbidding mountains, villages of huddled and fearful peasants; These images play through the history of the Tzimisce. The scholarly Fiends trace their roots to the demesnes of Eastern Europe, where they ruled as feudal lords over a superstitious populace (and, in some places they still do, it is whispered) Even in the modem day, anachronistic behavior and uncommon occult insight are hallmarks of the Tzimisce. the pre-eminent sorcerers of Cainite society, they now serve the Sabbat as terrifying, alien creatures that epitomize the traditional characteristics of vampires. The great Vlad Dracul himself is said to be one of the Tzimisce though in the Sabbat, he is counted a traitor to the Clan.
NOTE: The Tzimisce are no longer a playable Clan in UnMasqued.
Disciplines: Animalism, Auspex, Vicissitude
Clan Advantage: One free dot of the Occult ability. At ST discretion Tzimisce may purchase any Lore up to a second dot without extensive work or specialized research, due to Tzimisce libraries. Tzimisce may also have Revenant family ghouls as Retainers.
Clan Disadvantage: Every Tzimisce must sleep during the day with two handfuls of soil from their grave or from their native homeland. Each day that a Tzimisce fails to rest thusly, they suffer an additional one-trait penalty on all challenges. This penalty is reduced on a one-for-one basis once they regain their earth and sleep appropriately.
DIEGO
Player: Inactive (formerly played by Brendan)
Appearance: Diego changes appearance frequently. When Embraced, he was 5'11”, stocky (about 200 lbs), with pale skin, brown hair, and brownish eyes. He appeared to be in his early 20s, although he was actually 39. Should he ever revert completely to his form at the Embrace, he would be missing the last segment of his right pinkie finger. However, he used Vicissitude to fix that many years ago.
Appearance (Mechanics): [1] Appearance-related Traits (Seductive), obvious Negative Social Trait (Eerie)
Description: "Ay, chiquita... You look like a smart one... Wanna get your boobs lifted? Make ya famous, kid... Famous... Just gonna need a little... -liplick- service..."

The portraits above were created by LG. They understandably look nothing like the players of the characters, and do their best to represent the general vibe the artist gets from the PCs in question. If you play one of these characters and are dissatisfied/ecstatically happy/homicidally disgusted with the portrait, feel free to email me at the address above and let me know.
