Kupala

Kupala is an Earthbound demon that dwells beneath Transylvania. Kupala's presence in the Carpathian soil may have influenced the nature of the Tzimisce clan weakness; the demon is also referenced by name, if not directly invoked, by some kolduns through a number of powerful Koldunic Sorcery rituals. Kupala, in the guise of "Root of All", influenced the founder Tremere and his conspirators in House Tremere to found the chantry of Ceoris and, later, to transform themselves into vampires. The demon also held influence over the Malkavian Octavio, the Prophet of Gehenna, in the centuries before Anatole devoured the prophet and took on his mission. It may have manipulated the Cathedral of Flesh to consume its master, the Methuselah Yorak. In the Final Nights, Kupala was used as a proxy between the Antediluvians of the Nosferatu and Toreador clans, and was ultimately freed from the land by an enterprising coterie in order to thwart the ancients' plans.
