••• Depraved Succubus
The Daeva curse was so subtle that it took Spanos many years to notice it. He came to the conclusion that the Daeva might once have been on the verge of shedding their curse, but managed only to personalize it a bit. Instead of losing their Flaws, they simply refined them, to the point that each Daeva’s individual Vice would prove his undoing. Spanos often warned other Kindred to heed “the lesson of the Daeva,” never to assume that they had beaten or escaped their clan’s Flaws. Only the Ventrue were unflawed, and all the other clans could hope to do was aspire to greatness in hopes of overshadowing their inborn failings. In any case, the lesson of the Daeva was one he was happy to teach other Kindred, if he felt they grew too uppity. A night spent enslaved to one’s passions tended to be enlightening.
This power has no effect on Daeva Kindred or any bloodline descended from the Daeva.
