As mortal culture entered the Age of Enlightenment, it invented new machines and expanded the world to the broadest horizons of the globe. So, too, did significant changes ripple through vampire society. The Daughters of Cacophony stepped onto the stage of vampiric existence with fanfare, refusing to hide themselves or act as though they were any less important than the ancient clans. Some scholars believe this bloodline is an offshoot of the Malkavian clan, or of the Toreador, but the Daughters refuse to validate either claim. They prefer to be known for their talents and not as a mere appendage; they refuse to be a derivative of someone else’s fame.

Whatever their origins, Daughters of Cacophony are known for their extraordinary voices. The intensity of a Daughter’s song, and the madness it brings, is nothing less than aweinspiring. Song is as much a part of their immortal existence as blood. Every moment of a Daughter’s eternity is spent listening to the music of the spheres. It sings all around them, forever entrancing them with its melody. This curse – or blessing – makes the Daughters of Cacophony seem unfocused or capricious.
