Descendant of Michael
Enemies of the Night
Millennia ago, the Toreador methuselah Michael fell to the delusion that he was an archangel. He lived many different lives, such as Mi-ka-el the scribe and Beshter the wanderer. In each of his "lives," he built a vast cult of devoted followers and lovers who worshipped him, hanging on his every word and ready to die for his fickle whims. It is said that Michael's blood was able to confer beauty beyond compare, which was enticing to many mortals and Kindred alike. Still, it came with a risk of a blood bond so thoroughly encompassing that, once it took hold, the bond was extremely hard to defy. Some measure of Michael's power has passed to his descendants. They are known for their grand dreams, inspiring others to follow them on idealistic crusades and foolish endeavours. Many Michaelites are central figures in the Nephilim, a cult that seeks to continue Michael's Dream by rebuilding Constantinople to its former glory. Other descendants of Michael have been known to be fervent members of the Bahari and even potent manipulators in the Church of Set. Where there are vampires who crave a leader and a purpose, there is often a Michaelite seeking to lead them. Some rumors suggest that Michaelites are among the ranks of the surviving fanatics of the Sabbat as well.
●Yearning
Your blood bond is exceptionally potent. When their thralls attempt to defy the aims and desires of their Regnant when you are not present, they must make a Defiance test as if they are in their Regnant's presence.
●●Assemble the Angelic Host
Michaelites build power bases of fervent followers, and you are no exception. You may select five dots worth of Allies, Contacts, Resources, Backgrounds, and their associated Advantages.
●●●Angelic Draught
Your Blood is truly blessed by Michael. You may have twice the number of vampiric thralls as your Blood Potency allows. As well, your Thralls universally become more beautiful by consuming your blood. Their hair becomes lustrous; their skin perfect; their blemishes gone. Your ghouls gain the ability to use the power Awe without having to spend experience to learn it. Vampire thralls are less ravished by the loss of Humanity. A vampire who is Blood Bound to you only suffers half the usual penalties for low Humanity, rounded down. Nosferatu can even benefit from being bound to you. Their Clan Bane penalty on mundane social challenges is also halved as Michael's blessings reduce the weight of their hideousness. Note that a person suddenly changing in appearance by this blessing ought to take care, as their sudden shift in appearance may breach the Masquerade.
