*'''Antediluvian - Tzimisce, "the Eldest"'''
*'''Signature Discipline - Vicissitude''' (Fleshwarping, AKA: You can turn people into living furniture if they piss you off, create all kinds of beasties and turn into horrific masses of flesh or acidic blood), '''Koldunic Sorcery''' (Elemental magic mixed with mental manipulation, mainly used by the Dracul)
*'''Sect - Sabbat, with a good chunk being Independent'''. Some occasionally side with the '''Camarilla''', but don't stay for long.
*'''Clan Weakness:''' Have to sleep on at least two handfuls of their native soil. Nosferatu are immune to Vicissitude thanks to their own uglyfying curse (any attempt to reshape them will revert in a few seconds).
(Pronounced zuh-MEE-see) "Artist" vampires, who define art as fleshmolding hapless mortals/vampires/themselves into Moreau-esque nightmares. Every single one of them suffers from a superiority complex; expect Bond villain or serial killer personalities. They worship a giant cathedral made of living/unliving flesh that can move around somehow (it is Tzimisce himself). Also, to a greater extent than any other clan, expect lots of Eastern European Old World types obsessed with hospitality (really, if a Tzimisce, especially old one, invites you for a tea and chat, that's exactly it, no dirty tricks) and speaking in "vampire vords" - think 'the Count' from Sesame Street, except that he warps Birdie into a fleshy nugget if pissed off or fuses Ernie and Bert together a-la I have No Mouth and I Must Scream. 

This is also the clan Dracula belongs to (although he's a pretty cool guy for a Tzimisce and doesn't do any of the fleshwarping shit). They have a weird form of going Independent, a subclan who call themselves the '''Dracul''', who just do whatever they want in their Eastern European castles, not really giving a shit about Sabbat politics and avoiding the fleshwarping shit in lieu of elemental blood magic called Koldunic Magic, sponsored by Kupala, a demon (some say a Talon of the Wyrm, others say an Earthbound), that dwells beneath Transylvania. Etymology points out to an ancient Greek surname, Tzimisces; there are a more Greek-aligned faction called the "Children of the Dracon," which ties into some Dark Ages backstory nobody gives a shit about.
