BELIAL’S BROOD FANATIC
Quote: “Burn, motherfucker!”
Background: Members of the demonic undead faction known as Belial’s Brood despise
the established social order and do whatever they want, the Prince’s will be damned. Their
methods vary from the subtle to the blatant, but their recklessness never wavers. While a few
members of Belial’s Brood will speak with more “civilized” Kindred, no peaceful resolution
between the two groups has ever been corroborated. Sooner or later, any interaction between
these disparate vampires turns bloody.
Description: Because they are on such poor terms with the other covenants, the vampires
of Belial’s Brood are almost always seen dressed for a fi ght. Their demeanor varies from furtive
to aggressively hostile, but they’re always ready for a confl ict to begin. On the other hand,
members of Belial’s Brood rarely carry modern weapons, because they rarely have the connections
to procure such things. Whether this is a matter of personal preference or because
melee weapons tend to harm the Kindred severely is a matter of academics.
Quick Costume: Black clothes, numerous weapon item cards.
Storytelling Hints: While Belial’s Brood might be a numerical minority, its activities are
not so easily overlooked. This group lends itself to a search-and-destroy type of Storytelling,
one in which an obvious enemy fi ts the bill rather than the more shades-of-gray intricacies of
most vampire stories. Belial’s Brood members serve as excellent enemies, or as the impetus
to forge alliances with previously rival groups in the face of a common enemy.
