Quietus (VTM)

Quietus literally means "finishing blow" and is the signature Discipline of the Assamite clan. They are best known as assassins, but Quietus also has many non-combat applications that less martial Assamites make use of.

Quietus deals with the manipulation of vitae and enhancing, or muting, its inate properties. The best known power of Quietus is the ability to make an area silent. While often used in assassination, that power can also prove useful for silencing gatherings or preventing other vampires from using powers that require use of their voice.

Most of the other basic Quietus power relate making vampire vitae more potent, to the point where it can actually damage others. The upper level powers (level 6 and up) continue with the same theme of manipulation of vitae, but are both more powerful and more subtle in their effect. Most of them play with the targets emotion or mind using their own blood against them. Some powers will also serve to protect others against these same effects.
