Nosferatu spy (Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition)
Nosferatu are the hideous spies and information brokers of the Camarilla, known for their repulsive appearance and mastery of secrets. Every Nosferatu is cursed with a hideous, inhuman appearance that makes them instantly recognizable as monsters. They cannot hide what they are, but they've turned this curse into a strength. Nosferatu characters excel at information gathering, stealth, and survival. Their Disciplines (Animalism, Obfuscate, and Potence) make them excellent spies, trackers, and fighters. They can communicate with animals, become invisible, and possess incredible strength. However, their clan bane (the Repulsive) makes them permanently hideous and unable to blend into human society.
