Ankou

There are many tales about the being known as Ankou. It is an ancient terror that stalks the night and appears in Malkavians’ dreams as a remorseless, lifeless monster that silently treads country roads with an ox-cart and scythe.

Most reliable visions hint that it is a Methuselah, grandchilde of Malkav and faithful servant of his 4th generation creator.

The Ankou can roam through Lupine territory untouched, through a busy downtown unseen, and even vanish from one place and appear miles away, visible to only it’s victims.

Malkavians vanish from their hunting grounds all the time, but sometimes after a disappearance, the Madness Network vibrates with whispers repeating “Ankou.”

Bogeyman
Almost every clan has tales of ancient terrors stalking the night. One such legend is among the Malkavians. He is the Ankou, the Reaper itself. The Malkavians who know of the Ankou treat its legends with reverence and loathing. A few have said it is the first of the serial killers, or possibly their patron saint. Some believe the Ankou to be a Methuselah. Its power is so great that it can walk unscathed through Garou territory or even vanish from one place and appear miles away. Vampires, especially Malkavians, are known to vanish from their hunting grounds without a trace. And sometimes the word whispered in the [[Madness Network] is "Ankou."

Trivia
Ankou is a personification of death in Breton mythology as well as in Cornish and Norman French folklore.
