*'''Signature Discipline - Mytheceria''' (Riddle-Magic combo'd with faerie shit)
*'''Sect - Sabbat'''
*'''Clan Weakness:''' Look distinctly non-human, and touching any kind of iron makes them have to roll to avoid frenzy. Actual damage from the stuff inflicts aggravated damage.

Somewhere during the Dark Ages, some Mage managed to con a Lasombra Methuselah into buying his mystery brew and having a taste. This turned him tall, pale-white with black eyes and with skin that glows in moonlight with capacity of seeing faeries and their magic for what they are. After several decades or so of being locked up for being weird, the first Anarch Revolts happened and he and the few Childer he had were let out after the supposed death of the Lasombra Antediluvian and promptly joined up with what would become the Sabbat several years later and settled down somewhere around Belgium or so. 

They're fairly apolitical and most just wanna stay in their libraries or chase after curious artifacts and be left alone, so despite their Sabbat-allegiance, most don't have much of anything against the Camarilla and are content reading human and cainite books for centuries (One of them loves a Gutenberg Bible and warns the borrower that he will skin him if he damages the book). Most think of them as weird (they're nicknamed "Weirdlings") and want little to do with them, even the Changelings stay away from them since the few who have approached have come back with tales of being tortured for fun and/or for the Kiasyd's experiments. 

In the V20 Dark Ages their story was retconned into them being the result of a successfully embraced faerie, thus leaving their options a lot more varied in both terms of Disciplines, origin and sects; but at the cost of the previously-established lore. Again, in the Lore of the Bloodlines book, they were retconned again, explaining the existence of two "kinds" of Kiasyd: the original ones, successfully embraced faeries and later called Maeghar; and the new ones, descending from Marconius, who created a concoction by mixing dark glamour of the fae, several bloods and by gaining the blessing of the dark faeries Thallain. That alchemist, then, gave the potion to his sister and he drained her, all this while being in the Abysss, becoming the first of the new Kiasyd.
