Crassus
From SuspireWiki
The Crassus family are one part corporation and another part mafia family. descended from Italy they have moved into the world taking over business and amassing fortunes. The so called 'Caesars' have a strong presence in the United States and especially economic centers; wherever wealth can be obtained.
Due to their unique talents, the Carthians and the Invictus battle incessantly over the ownership of these ghouls, and many a Crassus has perished at the hands of a jealous opponent who they thought were their friend days before.
Nickname: Caesars
More information can be found on these in the Ghoul book.
House Rules
Strengths
Crassus' strengths as written are overpowered. Therefore, we have toned them down a little. Crassus have a choice of 4 merits to choose from this list that they can have as half-cost for XP, and may not change them out after creation: Allies, Barfly, Contacts, Fame, Haven, Resources, Retainer, Staff and Status. Starting Crassus characters may not apply this price break to their Merit dots, but they do get a choice of extra free dots: two dots divided between Academics, Persuasion or Socialize; or four dots divided among any of the aforementioned Merits.
Side Note
We discourage making these characters with the intent to get embraced - rarely does a Crassus get embraced by it's domitor. Naturally, due to this being a Vampire-mainly server, it's impossible to truly play their aloofness to understanding or believing in vampires and players will not be held accountable for when their character comes to grips with what they are working for (though the character should probably be aloof for a little while at least).
