Nuckalavee the Skinless is a fourth generation Nosferatu Cainite. He is one of the progeny of Absimiliard and a Nictuku.
Biography[]
Nuckalavee looks like a horse whose legs are part fin; he has an enormous snout-like mouth, and a single, fiery eye. His arms reach to the ground, his body is distorted and his huge head sways on a small neck, as if it is to weak to hold the head.
The most gruesome about his appearance is the fact that he has no skin. Black blood courses through yellow veins and the pale sinews and powerful muscles are clear to see. He has an aversion of running water and those who are chased by him have only to cross a stream to get rid of him.
Speculation[]
He may be the ancestor to the Parisii breed of the Nosferatu whose have translucent skin. This is probably from his physical description of "having no skin."
