They initially resorted to a hermitic existence, hunting humans from beneath bodies of water or dark caverns, as their mere appearance tended to make those unfamiliar with the supernatural either run in fear or attempt to destroy them with fire and blade. The Nosferatu found their early years as a Clan difficult ones, as their appearance made coexistence with humans problematic at best. This story tells that Absimiliard hunts his offspring in an attempt to wipe out the vile creatures which he set loose upon the world.Īs with all of the legends from this time, which version is correct may never be known. He then passed this curse on to all those whom he begat. Finally this pustule of hate erupted, and Absimiliard disfigured himself beyond recognition, claiming that if he could not be the most beautiful creature in existence, then he would be the most ugly. In this version, he and the Toreador Antediluvian Arikel were lovers, but over time his scar made him incurably jealous of Arikel’s flawless perfection. It should be noted that there is another tale of Absimiliard‘s early years. Some say that this is to atone for his misdeeds in the First City, whilst others claim it is simply as revenge for her defiance. Since that time, Absimiliard has spent his waking centuries sending the Childer who remained with him after the Fall to wipe out the descendants of the Baba Yaga. When Caine returned from his wanderings, he was said to be so furious with Absimiliard that he cursed him and all of his line with the vile appearance that the plagues the Nosferatu to this day. This vampire was to become the dread entity known as the Baba Yaga, and the founder of the Clan as it is known today. Like the others of the Third Generation, Absimiliard had created a small group of vampiric Childer as company, and after the fall of the First City one of them, a lone maiden who had been his first progeny, fled beyond the reaches of her sire. At the conclusion of the hunt, the ancient vampire Embraced her prey, although the struggle left Absimiliard with a small scar, marring his otherwise perfect face.Īs time passed, this blemish grew to be a source of first resentment then hatred for his sire, and as a result, Absimiliard killed her, an act which ultimately brought about the destruction of the First City. During the time of the First City, one of the Second Generation (it is unclear which, although many believe it to have been Zillah) was attracted to this prideful man and decided to stalk him for sport. Nosferatu legend tells that their Clan founder, a mortal who went by the name of Absimiliard, was in his mortal days a great hunter and a man of unsurpassed beauty both of these traits cultivated in him an enormous vanity and sense of self worth.
