Road of Sin

Via Peccati (Road of Sin)

Nickname: Sinners

The common folk of the Dark Medieval world know full well that vampires are creatures of the Devil, and many Cainites agree. If they are damned, then why should they not indulge in the dark desires welling up within them? Rather than falling on their knees and begging forgiveness, they exult in their new found power and use it to satisfy their every wicked impulse. Other Cainites look at these Sinners and see those who have given in to the temptations of the Beast, but they are not mere slaves to their own desires.

They master the Beast by indulging and feeding it, existing in cooperation with it. Despite some accusations to the contrary, few Sinners are agents of Hell. They follow their own wills, and selfishness is at their core. Nothing is forbidden to a Sinner, save failing to indulge the Beast, letting it take matters into its own hands.
