Last reviewed
Overview
The Descendant of Xaviar loresheet ties your character to the Gangrel Justicar who stood before the Inner Circle, told them his coterie had been destroyed by something ancient rising from the earth, and walked out when they refused to act. His clan followed him out of the Camarilla. Characters carrying his blood inherit that stance: warn people, and leave when they will not listen. Gangrel treat the lineage as vindication. Camarilla officials treat it as the moment the sect lost an entire clan, and they have not forgiven it.
How it works
Benefits: Standing among Gangrel, survival lore, contacts among Kindred who live outside sect structures Dot Levels: Higher levels grant closer ties to Xaviar's line and to what he learned before he left Suspicion: The Camarilla views this lineage as proof of disloyalty waiting to happen
Tips and playstyle
Best For: Gangrel characters, loners, autarkis, characters investigating what is waking up Story Hooks: Someone wants the truth about what killed his coterie, and you are the nearest source
Frequently asked questions
Are all Gangrel outside the Camarilla now?
Most left with him, but individual Gangrel still hold court positions. Playing one of the few who stayed is a strong hook.
What did Xaviar see?
The setting leaves it unconfirmed. Something old enough to erase a Justicar's coterie, which is the part that mattered to the clan.
