LEECHES
By Drew A. Sundeen (drewsundeen@usa.net)
Description
This bloodline started with a young Pander named Vincent. Vincent was tired of nobody ever giving him any respect or teaching him any disciplines, so he decided to make his own disciplines and force other to respect him. After several failed experiments, he finally mastered to discipline of Vampirism, which exceeded even his expectations. He found he could even learn the powers of other supernaturals and Awakened beings. His plan was to learn as many other powers as he could, and then take on the leader of his pack, an arrogent Lasombra named Sanchez. When he tried to find other supernaturals, he found that it was harder than it looked, for most of them had developed means of hiding themselves. After years of fruitless searching, he finally found a lone and wounded Garou. He was about to kill it, when it told him that it could help him in his search. He decided that since the Garou were able to sense other supernaturals (or at least corrupt ones), he would let the werewolf live. The Garou told Vincent that he was a Black Spiral Dancer and that the Wyrm could help him gain the power he sought. Intriged, Vincent followed the Spiral Dancer back to its Hive, and down into the Pit. There, Vincent was bathed in the balefires of the Wyrm, almost dying Final Death, but when he emerged from the Hive, he had mastered the discipline of the Hunt. He hunted down his old pack and slaughtered every one of them, stealing their disciplines. A Wild Hunt was called on him, but in the shelter of the Spiral Dancers Hive, it was useless.Since then, Vincent has Embraced many Black Spiral Dancer kinfolk and sired many Abominations in the Hive. The Wyrm has gained a powerful new ally.
