When the Toreador Methuselah Helena came to the New World, she found easily swayed worshippers amongst the Aztec peoples. But none were so beautiful and so full of the qualities she saw in herself as one of the high priestesses, the woman who would later take the name Santanico Pandemonium.
When she sensed her ancient foe, Menele, to the North, she departed without training her childe in the ways of the Toreador, thus, the young kindred was forced to teach herself the disciplines of the blood. In time, she traveled north as well, and discovered in the customs that the New World had brought with them, a new way to attract the kine for sacrifice.

The Zapotec bite, as a result of centuries of rituals, contains a venom that will eventually turn any mortal not slain by the bite into a Zapotec. (In game terms, after damage is taken from the initial bite, that same amount of damage continues to be inflicted every other turn. Stamina rolls may be made to resist, but only magical healing or regeneration can prevent the transformation into a Zapotec.)
