Pisanob (Children of Tenochtitlan)
Enemies of the Night
During the 16th century, Spanish explorers encountered the Aztec civilization. In Tenochtitlán (which is now modern-day Mexico City), they discovered a necromantic tradition known as "Pisanob," a Mayan term that translates to "ghosts of the dead that walk the Earth." The Giovanni killed and enslaved the Aztecs, unaware that among them were vampires who already had a legacy, their own beliefs, and a leader named Pochtli. Despite this tragic beginning, Pochtli remained head of the Pisanob Family up until the Family Reunion. Still, their numbers dwindled due to attacks by the Sabbat, particularly, at the time, the Harbingers of Skulls Pochtli offered his own life to the Harbingers in exchange for peace. With only a few remaining Kindred, the descendants of Tenochtitlan are deciding on a new leader while planning their revenge.
