Many Nosferatu hid in the great rivers like the Tigris or the Nile to prey on farmers at night.
Most hid from the sun in subterranean caves or in the grounds of rivers and lakes. In the beginning, most Nosferatu resorted to hunt humans as prey, as they were unable to coexist with them in their cities, as the mortals either ran away in fear or resorted to fire and violence to drive them out. Through his loyal Nictuku, Absimiliard hopes to exterminate all of the Matriarch's childer in atonement for his crimes against the laws of Caine – or in bitter vengeance, some would say. The maiden came to be known as the Matriarch for according to legends, she gave birth to the entire modern incarnation of the Nosferatu clan.
Since that time, Absimiliard's eldest descendants, the Nictuku, have chased her. When Caine returned in judgment, he cursed Nosferatu with hideousness, a curse passed to all his descendants, including the hidden maid. His childer, hunters all, remained loyal to him except for one woman who fled further than he could chase. His wounded pride, coupled with his ego, led him to resent, then hate, then kill his sire, precipitating the revolt by the Antediluvians.Īs with his brethren, Absimiliard had sired a small clique of childer by the time of the Second City. The Embrace was quick, but left him with a tiny facial scar that inflamed his vanity. Powerful and vain, Absimiliard was a hunter of great skill and beauty who attracted the attention of one of the second generation, who stalked him down as prey.
They are also the masters of the underground, living in the sewers for protection.Īs with all of the Antediluvians, the Nosferatu Antediluvian (referred to as Absimiliard) was Embraced in the shadow of Enoch. The Nosferatu are the spymasters of the dead, collecting information and selling it for a dear price. The archetypal Nosferatu resembles Max Shreck's Count Orlok, though the curse has any number of variations.
