Bloodline: Premascine

You are a throwback to an older lineage of the clan. You suffer from a ghastly pallor reminiscent of the Cappadocians, and you can learn Necromancy: Mortis Path. Other Giovanni (especially old ones) are extremely suspicious of characters who demonstrate the ability to harness the Mortis Path, believing that such an individual may still be loyal to the Cappadocians. Necromancy: Mortis Path is learned without a teacher and does not require the purchase of the Necromantic Expertise merit, but is not considered an in-clan discipline for any purpose (including purchase costs). This merit is an exception to the rule that prevents nonCappado cians from learning Mortis Path.
