Vampires are not just vampires, there are different clans, with different abilities!
Me myself was bitten in Italy in the summer of the year 2000, in the age of 18, and for a long time I didn't even know I was bitten,
and I had problems realizing, what clan I belonged to...and I stil do...I recall myself screaming of fear in the night by my Vampire Sire...
the vampire that created me, but also a memory of hearing people in Venice, the day after, saying something like this:
"A dying Toreador just bid him", perhaps hunted down by Special OPS?
Some of the Vampire clans work together trying to rule the humans from the shadows,
and help out each other, the very Spanish word "Camarilla" is the name of a Vampire sect, and it means to mutually scratch one. anothers back.
I seem to belong to the clan "Tremere", a Warlock vampire (MAGIC)
