By Night

The Archdiocese is ruled by a secret group of vampires from Clan Cephas, devoted to a twisted variation of the Testament emphasizing the Blood of Christ as restoring life. They consider themselves the chosen and claim that vampirism started at the Last Supper when the disciples drank the blood and ate the flesh of Jesus. They claim their bloodline came from Peter, the first Pope, and that vampires outside of the sect generally comes from the bloodline of Judas.
