The Mascagni have been, since the ancient times, the most loyal serfs of the D'Angelo. These revenants provide travelling D'Angelo food and haven, but are forbidden to travel without their D'Angelo masters. Centuries of serfdom have weakened their willpower and, like caged birds, they would die without the sons of Adriano. They suffered heavily during the Anarch Revolt, as both the Tremere and the Assamites wanted to destroy them. Now, many D'Angelo think that the Mascagni are more of an hindrance than of an advantage, but the Urielites and the D'Carlo protect them.
Character creation
Most Mascagni are Professionals. Autist and Conformist are the most common Nature and Demeanor, as Mascagni are known followers. Social Atributes and Skills are Primary, and many Mascagni are highly proficient in Seneschal (from V:DA) and Economy.
Disciplines
Weakness
The will of the Mascagni is weak; anyone with True Faith, Willpower 10 and/or Courage or Morale 5 have a -2 difficulty affecting their minds. D'Angelo usually tightly control their Mascagni revenants, lest they unwittingly do something wrong.

"Yes sir, as you please, sir."
Stereotypes
D'Angelo: We will never serve anyone worthier than they.D'Carlo: They are the warriors, we are the stewards. That's fine for me.
