Giovanni

Nickname: Necromancers No other clan is more intent on maintaining a front of respectability than the Giovanni, and none is more repulsive at heart. Giovanni vampires are rich merchants, speculators and investors who spend most of their nights manipulating their vast assets from skyscraper offices. They spend the rest of their nights in crypts and mausoleums carrying out their dark and morbid rites. Surprisingly, the Giovanni still have a foothold in Venice. Or perhaps the surprise stems more from the fact that they've gone from a totality of control, handed the city essentially on a silver platter in 2020, to nearly ejected during the course of April, 2032 by unknown adversaries. Very little has changed within the Necromancers that people know of, though their doors have, in general, between locked a little tighter and their windows shut a little faster. The new corporate mentality, however, is particularly inviting too many of them, and the Ventrue have found themselves in the position of having very capable competition standing against their corporate takeover strategies. Sect: Independent Disciplines: Potence, Dominate, Necromancy Weakness: Living creatures on whom the Giovanni feed take double damage, and experience not the Kiss, but intense pain.
