Cassius (vampire)
Cassius is convinced that the end times are near. He requires rest so he can save his strength for the cataclysm. He was told this by a respected seer, and he believes it wholeheartedly.
Freddy and Raffin have become thralls. Mostly sentient, and in Freddy's case, almost unchanged. Cassius looks broodingly out onto the stormy seas. "It might be coming sooner. Look at me, you need to promise you will protect me."
He asks to be placed in a temple, bathed in a full bath of blood. The townfolk will be my protectors, you will be their shepherd.
There is an end times coming. You have been chosen to be part of my herd. The seer said the gods will die one day, and the world scorched. I believe them. This is my solution. We cannot pick any riff-raff to become part of society.
I trust you, Patches. Find more, bring them to me. Bring the best.
Blessing: Life steal. Regain HP equal to your next attacks damage. Once per day.
