Clan Scintilla

Beautiful, elegant and intelligent, no other clan upholds the Masquerade as fanatically as the Scintilla. Possibly the most “human” of all vampires, the Scintilla can remember what it was like to be alive, to have a beating heart, to feel the warmth of the Sun. They are not keepers of power, Princes or rulers, but rather prefer to assume the role of supreme social players within the Consortium, each having a huge number of political influences and connections to call upon. The Scintilla have no formal clan structure, and their libertarian attitude means that they form the backbone of the Consortium, fulfilling a variety of valuable social roles. Nuanced and emotional, this clan usually embraces artists, be they martial, poetic or musical in aspect, because they have an obsession with beauty in its many forms. This means that the Scintilla are the vampires most likely to become involved with humans, universally with disastrous consequences for their mortal friends or lovers.
