Nikanuuranu

Nikanuuranu is an earthbound demon. He has formed a pact with the Inconnu's inner circle to conceal their base, the Hunedoara Castle, from the outside world.

Biography
When the Anarch Revolt swept across Kindred society, Cret and the Council of Twelve, in a desperate measure for self-preservation, initiated a magical ritual and summoned a demonic being who was called Nikanuuranu. With his True Name, the Council bargained with Nikanuuranu, who promised that it would cast a great incantation over Hunedoara Castle, keeping it hidden of the eyes of the outside world, in return for a mass human sacrifice. One year after the casting of the incantation, however, Nikanuuranu appeared to Cret, and informed him that his magical trick could not maintain for eternity, but rather was only powerful enough to last the span of one year. Since this time, the Council of Twelve has been bound to perform the rite of sacrifice every year and shed a drop of their own vitae in the pit, in an isolated chamber deep within Hunedoara.

By itself, the Demon lacks the power to conceal a castle so completely, but the pact enables it to call upon a far greater occult power - the Curse of Cain, embodied in the twelve pacters. For all practical purposes, the Demon possesses eight dots in every vampiric Discipline possessed by one of the twelve, except for Thaumaturgy. However, it can use those powers only to conceal or defend the castle.

The Demon also possesses the crucial power to defend the twelve pacters from each other (any attack by one pacter upon another affects the victim as well as the aggressor). On the down side, none of the twelve pacters may leave the castle grounds on pain of breaking the pact. If one of them ever does so, he would have 10 minutes to come back or suffer Final Death.
