The very word can seem hard to look at. Madness is one of Mankinds oldest stigmas, one of it's longest-held fears. In a world where we have prosthetic limbs, hearing aids, glasses to help you see, in a world where any part of your body can be healed, how terrifying it can be to lose the one part that cannot be replaced: ones Mind.
How much worse, then, the plight of the Malkavians, Vampires who are mad, each and every one of them. How much worse to be trapped in a Immortal body, some small part of you always knowing that there was no hope of a cure, no hope of a reprieve, just night after night of madness, forever?
But madness grants freedom from traditional constraints, and unbounded by the confining walls of sanity, how much farther can one see? The Malkavians are seers and oracles, and understand things the rest of us were not meant to know.
