Troglodytia

Troglodytia was a Cappadocian who was active during the Dark Ages. She, like a number of her contemporary clanmates, was cursed with an exceptionally vicious form of their clan's weakness upon her Embrace. Where others of her clan would normally have a deathlike pallor, she resembled a decaying corpse &mdash; or a zombu. Mocking Cainites soon gave her the name "Troglodytia", which she bore as a sort of martyr's badge of honor. She took up a brisk trade as a mercenary and a black marketeer alongside some Nosferatu compatriots.

Her activities and whereabouts following the Dark Ages and the ascendancy of Clan Giovanni are unknown, but it has been speculated that she was an ancestor of the Samedi bloodline. It has been speculated that she invoked the favors she was owed by various powerful elder clients to escape to the Americas during the height of the Giovanni clan's purge of the Cappadocians.
