Vampire (CofD)

Vampires are one of three playable supernatural races within the World of Darkness. They are the main focus of Vampire: The Requiem.

Mortal Perpsective
For a long time vampires have become a fantasy for mortals - sometimes sexy, sometimes terrifying, and always mysterious. But to the majority of mortals, this is what they remain thanks to The Masquerade. Occasionally individuals become aware of the existence of vampires and usually seeking to destroy them or to become their paramours. A mortal who seeks out vampires to experience the pleasure of being fed upon is known as a Blood Doll.

Werewolf Perspective
Werewolves and vampires are cautious of one another. Although scattered alliances and animosities occasionally develop, the two races keep largely separate. Perhaps the most common contact the spiritual Werewolves have is with the Ordo Dracul, as the Covenant has been known to occupy mystical sites that the Werewolves also desire for their own purposes.

Mage Perspective
Vampires and Mages are a curiosity to one another. Mages are fascinated by the Vampire's ability to cheat age and disease while at the same time frightened of their long memories and fearsome abilities. Again, interaction between the two comes largely from the Ordo Dracul but also from the Circle of the Crone and occasionally from the Lancea Sanctum. These three covenants practice their own versions of blood magic and as such are of special interest to Mages who would learn their secrets. A dark Legacy of Mages known as the Tremere have a close connection to vampires.
