La Famiglia also includes other satellite families, such as the Della Passaglias and Ghibertis, who have not earned their own individual bloodline status to date.

They do not normally identify themselves to clan outsiders as Hecata.

Several, even many, wanting the clan to dissolve in order to lessen their threatening potential.ĭue to mysterious changes in the Blood, many Hecata no longer have their old curses-the Samedi are no longer rotting corpses, the Nagaraja no longer require the sustenance of flesh, and the Cappadocian and Harbingers of Skull no longer have their corpse-like complexion-instead, they now all share the same clan bane: the excruciatingly painful Kiss. Most notably the Camarilla with the Promise of 1528 being something the Inner Circle are at unease with their chances very low to gain some control over. The Harbingers agreed, and not only did they show up, but also the Samedi, any remaining Cappadocians, the Lamia, and even a handful of Nagaraja seeking refuge from a " catastrophe." The parties negotiated an end to the hostilities, and the clan known as the Hecata soon came into fruition.Īfter the formation of the Hecata, many sects are in worrying concern about the newly established Clan of Death in the spreading woodworks. Two other significant events occurred at or around this time: first, the death or disappearance of Augustus Giovanni, founder and patriarch of the Giovanni and a devastating assault by the Harbingers of Skulls on the clan's holdings in Venice, undertaken with the assistance of some younger members of the Giovanni.īetween the damage of the Harbingers' attack and the maelstrom of wraiths unleashed by Augustus's undoing, the Giovanni called for negotiations in a conference that came to be known as the Family Reunion. Another factor was that the Promise of 1528 was rumored to be coming to an end soon after an unspecified 500-year time limit. The Second Inquisition was one associated factor, taking a heavy toll on Clan Giovanni in North America and forcing much of the clan organization there to regroup back in Italy. The brief history of Clan Hecata is one of necessity as first principle. Amr Salib, Hecata childe of an unknown Cappadocian We survived and now we become what we always were. We come together as the last truly independent clan, because we must. We will weather the fires of the Second Inquisition. With the Banu Haqim joining the Camarilla and the Ministry joining the Anarchs, the Hecata are the last independent clan of significance in contemporary nights. Much like the Giovanni that it almost entirely subsumes, it is also a family, albeit a much more extended one. Together, they represent a new, (mostly) unified Clan of Death comprising Kindred bloodlines who practice necromancy through the use of Oblivion. They are not a fully organic clan deriving from a single Antediluvian and an uninterrupted bloodline, but are made up of the Giovanni and the remnants of the old Clan Cappadocian and their related bloodlines, as well as the Nagaraja, despite a lack of connection with Antediluvian.
