Descendant of Szechenyi Jolán
Enemies of the Night
Jolán is a loyal defender of the Tzimisce clan, driven by her shame for coming from the rebellious Vlaszy revenant family. She aims to prove herself to the Sabbat, and her clan. With a deep knowledge of Tzimisce history, she is known as the "Mother of Horrors." During the height of Sabbat activity before the Beckoning, Jolán supervised the breeding of revenants, blood-hounds, and szlachta near Mexico City. Most civilized Kindred revile her practices. However, she was fiercely protective of the rituals needed to create these creatures, and few outside her lineage know them. The strongest become her ghoul bodyguards, or are even Embraced. She even had aspirations of breeding a shapeshifter into her flock to unlock the secret of perfect mutability. That dream will likely never come to fruition. Since the Beckoning, she has not been seen. Despite her obvious Sabbat loyalty, her lineage survives in the modern day in other sects as well.
●Kindred's Best Friend
Gain a three-dot Familiar of the animal of your choosing. You may train it to be a blood-hound, allowing it to track and identify other Kindred. By spending a simple action to sniff, then, using their Awareness pool (which is a 6), a blood-hound can identify any Kindred within 5 steps by successfully making a challenge versus a difficulty of 3. If the target is mundanely hiding, the challenge is contested versus the vampire's Composure + Stealth.
●●Building a Bloodier Tomorrow
Your lineage taught you the fundamentals of flesh-shaping, specimen handling, and the careful maintenance of bio-occult laboratories. Jolán herself oversaw your early instruction, ensuring you learned not only the theory of revenant husbandry but also the precise environmental conditions required for cultivating mutable flesh. Gain a 2 dot Haven with one free dot in the Cell, Laboratory, Surgical Ward and Walk-in Freezer advantages.
●●●Szlachta
You have learned the forgotten rituals used to create a superior war ghoul known as a szlachta. The term szlachta is a Polish word meaning noble, as szlachta are considered superior to other ghouls. You may choose one of the following benefits for any Retainer or Familiar you purchase or gain. • Loyalty: Your Retainer, or Familiar, is immune to any level 2 or lower powers of Dominate. • Cold Blooded: Your Retainer, or Familiar, is immune to any level 2 or lower powers of Presence. • Tyrant: In addition to any other Discipline powers, your Retainer or Familiar can employ Feral Weapons. Szlachta are more powerful than regular ghouls, but the process of making them renders them hideously deformed and obviously supernatural in nature.
