Puttanesca
Enemies of the Night
The Giovanni clan was once renowned for its reputation as a vampire mob. However, some savvy Hecata ancillae in the Camarilla Elysia dismiss these stereotypes as rumors fueled by excessive viewings of The Godfather. When given the opportunity, they contact their cousins, the Puttanesca Family, to discuss the latest trouble caused by Giovanni. Originally hailing from Sicily, the Puttanesca Family was brought in as skilled street hustlers, handling the dirty work that the wealthier Giovanni couldn't be bothered with. They Embraced the mafioso persona over time, understanding that if you make a living breaking legs, you might as well Embrace the role. Following the Family Reunion, any remaining ties to organized crime fell into the hands of the Puttanesca Family, seen by some as a reward for their loyal service, but known by the Puttanesca themselves as a tactic to consolidate the Hecata clan's embarrassing assets.
●Forget About It
Not every argument has to end with a punch to the face or a baseball bat to the knees. Once per game session, you can automatically succeed on a Frenzy test caused by being insulted, embarrassed, or humiliated. You also gain the first two dots of the Streetwise and Subterfuge Skills.
●●The Don
Against all odds, you've fought hard and achieved respect, wealth, and influence. Other Hecata may even stop insulting you directly. You gain five dots to spend on Allies, Contacts, Mask, Resources, or their advantages.
●●●Mooks
Not every Puttanesca likes getting their hands dirty. Once every three months, you may call for aid, and two loyal neonate mooks will answer. Two neonate NPCs with the statistic block for Hecata Mook will do your bidding, as long as they don't act against local Hecata interests. Attempting to use these vampires for improper purposes, such as to seize personal power, will fail, and the mooks will leave.
