The White Faces

As stated in my introduction, the White Faces are a clan of vampire that originated from a taint within the bloodline shortly after the fall of the Roman Empire, something which I keep having flashbacks of given the conditions of this country and similar events that are taking place now. Actually, I’m not sure if the term ‘clan’ can be used to describe the White Faces now since they have grown much larger than any vampire clan previously, but since they do have a hierarchy amongst them, one which tries to govern over all of the White Faces (and all other vampire), I suppose the term clan can still be used. No one knows where this taint came from, and now, there really aren’t many left who would care (before the taint became so widespread and caused so much destruction there were actually scholars amongst the vampire clans, even secret libraries). All that really seems to matter now is the effect of the taint, one which is easily recognizable and which is responsible for most of the myths human’s have toward the vampire creature (more on this in my vampire myth section), and which is far too easy to spread.

Madness and bloodlust seem to be the two most common characteristics of the taint, as well as an odd whitish skin color that many now associate with the vampire given how easily this taint is spread (another factor that wasn’t realized until it was too late). Ruthless beyond comprehension, the White Faces have pretty much killed or destroyed every threat that has stood in their way, their actions usually governed by a family of leaders who, despite being White Faces themselves, seem to have been spared the worst of the madness, but not the bloodlust or the cravings for power which seems to be why so many within the family will kill each other just for a chance to rule.
