Description The Kiasyd trace their lineage to a Lasombra vampire named Marconius who had himself infused with fae blood. For this reason, Marconius, and those embraced by him and his followers, are often thought to be a combination of vampire and fae. Because of a long-standing love-hate relationship with the Lasombra, Kiasyd are most often associated with the Sabbat. This is not always the case, however.

The clans members are exceptionally tall and heights of over seven feet are not unusual. Their odd appearance includes chalk-white skin which seems to glow blue in the moonlight, and solid black eyes. This strange visual impression may account for the clan nickname "Weirdlings." The Obfuscate ability is particularly useful to this clan as by using it they can mask the fact that they are so strange in appearance or, better yet, not be seen at all.

Their symbol is a black-backgrounded stylised moth. It is theorized that this symbol was chosen due to the shimmering effect of the tiny scales on a moth's wing being similar to the glow that Kiasyd seem to emit when under the moonlight.

The bloodline's clan discipline is Mytherceria, which encompasses a heightened talent for acquiring arcane knowledge as well as causing the unique ability to be able to detect other supernatural creatures such as fae and werewolves. The discipline also makes them experts at creating and solving riddles. Not too surprisingly, librarians, museum curators, and students are among those most frequently embraced by the Kiasyd. However, the bloodline itself is quite small in number, and very few kindred are even aware that the Kiasyd exist.

Their other hallmark ability is Obtenebration, an ability carried over from their Lasombra forebearers. This ability allows them to warp, shape and control the darkness around them and, as some say, within themselves.

Besides their strange appearances, the Kiasyd have an unusual clan flaw: they, much like the fae, are vulnerable to Cold Iron. Cold Iron (unwrought and pure) causes all Frenzy difficulties to be increased by one and RΓΆtschreck(fear frenzy) difficulties increase by two. Touching Cold Iron causes an immediate Rotschreck roll, and also causes 1 health level of damage per turn (preventable only by the ability Fortitude, as it is not aggravated). Actually being damaged by a cold iron weapon causes Kiasyd aggravated wounds.
