If the Bratovitches are the Tzimisce’s dogs of war, the Szantoviches are the clan’s feline infiltrators into rival courts. This depraved family breeds its members for allure and charm, then sets them loose into unsuspecting noble society. The ghouls’ unearthly attractiveness (courtesy of Presence and Vicissitude) quickly wins them mates, who are just as quickly disposed of and their estates appropriated. Such practices have already made the Szantoviches exceedingly wealthy and influential; Szantovich revenants have married into the Premysl dynasty in Bohemia and the Piast dynasty in Poland. Indeed, certain Fiends have begun to wonder whether the Szantovich has exceeded its desired scope....
Family Disciplines
Auspex, Presence, Vicissitude
Weakness
The Szantovich are easily addicted to pleasure. After undergoing a pleasurable experience (a particularly satisfying sexual encounter, a well-cooked and tender young babe, etc.), the revenant must make a Willpower roll or become addicted to the vice.
Destiny
During the tumult of the sect wars, the Szantovich are forced underground. They resurface in the 1700s, having Anglicized their surname to Zantosa.
