Tzimisce Blood Bond

Tzi info

According to Kindred legend, the Tzimisce Antediluvian was the first of Caine's childer to discover the Blood Bond, and it is fact that his progeny were the first vampires to break such a Bond en masse. In any event, the Tzimisce are far more adept at the creation, maintenance and dissolution of Blood Bonds than are other vampires.
Most Blood Bonds create a strong but rather nebulous feeling of affection on the part of the Thrall. The Regnant (vampire master), while fairly certain that the Thrall will act in her best interests, has little specific control over the Thrall's precise emotions. Tzimisce, however, have discovered rituals and alchemical techniques that vastly increase control over Blood Bonds.
Specific emotions can be evoked in the Thrall: filial love, romantic love, lust, loyalty, reverence, etc. Nor are the emotions induced by a Tzimisce-manipulated Blood Bond limited to "positive" ones. One being can be made to feel unremitting hatred toward or paralyzing fear of another. Moreover, certain Tzimisce may even create Blood Bonds between beings other than vampires--provided the appropriate blood is drunk--and may manipulate the emotions of both parties.
Some Camarilla Kindred whisper that powerful Tzimisce may set up a Blood Bond and delay its effects until a "trigger" (a condition, word, phrase, gesture, etc.) occurs. These Kindred claim that such delayed Blood Bonds, combined with Dominate-induced forgetfulness on the part of the Bound parties, have riddled the Camarilla with "undead time bombs" waiting to explode in ways suitable to the Sabbat. Most Camarilla Justicars dismiss these rumors as anarch-fomented paranoia.
