Welcome to clan Giovanni Clan of financiers and necromancers. Trafficking in the commodity of souls has given this clan a disproportionate amount of power, while trafficking in world finance has made the clan sickeningly rich. Other Kindred are lath to trust the mercenary Giovanni, who seem to be using their influence towards some unknown end. Part of this unhealthy reputation stems from the fact that it is a very insular clan, drawing almost all its members from its incestuous mortal family. Further damaging the Giovanni’s reputation is the pervasive rumor that its members usurped their Kindred status from the vampire who originally Embraced them. Soon after becoming a vampire, the clan leader destroyed his sire and the bloodline, reinventing the clan in his own image. The Giovanni Kiss causes excruciating pain in mortals who receive it. In fact, the bite of a Giovanni vampire often kills its mortal victim from shock before the poor soul has a chance to die from blood loss. The Necromancers do twice as much damage as any other vampire only to mortals who suffer the Kiss. They are quite likely to feed from already dead corpses or from resources like hospital blood reserves.
