Blood Potency 7

Key facts

Level

7

Overview

Blood Potency 7 belongs to methuselahs whose names survive only in fragments of the Book of Nod and in elder rumors that contradict each other. A vampire this potent has usually spent more of their existence in torpor than awake, surfacing when something in the world is worth the trouble. At this level distance from humanity is total. Mortals read as furniture or as food, and other Kindred read as leverage. When a creature of Blood Potency 7 takes an interest in a city, the local hierarchy stops being the story and becomes a detail of it.
