The Despond Discipline is associated with the Children of Judas bloodline, a morose group of Daeva who capitalize on the inner fears and worries of others.
Despond, in particular, is one of the most feared disciplines among the Kindred; it gives vampires a very clear glimpse into the world of torment and pain that they have to try so hard to escape. A Child of Judas, if identified, may soon find himself the target of unwanted attention.
