Nosferas

The Italian Nosferas, headed by Conte Claudio and residing in Rome, are larger than life characters and live life to the fullest. Flamboyant creatures, for whom food and drink is very important, and they do everything with ‘gusto’. Their special skill is the power to withstand holy objects, rendering such harmless to vampire-kind if necessary and is seen as one of the easier-mastered even by those outside of their clan; most serendipitously, this same capability allows certain members of the clan to be religious or even faithful towards forces greater than themselves. The Nosferas have retrieved one ruby in the clan wars from the Arrufat clan of Spain, but are having trouble accessing its power.
