- Always submit personal gain to the greater good of the household.
●Perfectly Ordinary
Unlike other Golconda cults, the Butterflies strive to be normal instead of morally superior. They study human society from behind the scenes. You gain a three-dot Mask that helps you observe humanity from up close, without drawing attention to yourself. You also gain the Zeroed merit for free. This Mask could represent someone who works on the set of a reality show or beauty contest, or as a stagehand for a community theater group. You have hidden behind this Mask since you joined the Butterflies, perhaps even before. In either case, your true vampiric identity has ceased to exist since you joined the Family. Joseph made sure of it.
●●The Family Will Provide
The Butterflies hold their ghouls in high regard, not just as useful servants, but as an important key to understanding the nature of humanity. Gain a three-dot Ally with the Retainer Advantage. You may add the Retainer advantage to two additional Allies for free. In addition, the reverence that the Butterflies have toward ghouls allows one of your Touchstones to be a ghoul. If you have purchased this advantage during character creation, you may immediately assign this Touchstone to a Conviction. If you joined the Butterflies during play, you may instead ghoul one of your existing Touchstones, adding them to the family.
●●●The Household
The Butterflies live in homes with their chosen families. These shared Havens are often of considerable size. You gain a three-dot Haven and five free dots of Haven advantages. In addition, up to three of your Haven Advantages can be raised to 4 dots. This is an exception to the rule limiting Backgrounds to 3 dots.
