Kiasyd

Shortly before the 12th century, a Lasombra named Marconius experimented with the Obtenebration discipline and the blood of the fae. He experienced a catastrophic result, permanently altering his physical and spiritual nature; he became a Kiasyd. Kiasyd are isolationist, preferring a solitary life even to the company of their own kind. Some clans believe Kiasyd are not vampires, but have become something otherworldly (and potentially a breach of the Masquerade). Mysterious, foreign, and strange, Kiasyd are treated with suspicion and animosity whenever they surface within vampire society.
