At first glance, the members of The Desaxe do not appear to be a clan at all; they are chosen from all races, creeds and social strata. But Desaxe, regardless of mortal standing, bear one disturbing likeness: They are all quite mad.

Whether from the clan's choice of victims, the circumstances of the embrace, or something in the blood of the desaxe line, all who become Desaxe go insane shortly after the transformation. Accordingly, many Desaxe find themselves pariahs, ostracized by a vampiric society feared for their random urges and capricious whims.

Those kindred who dare keep them close at hand often prefer their maddening ways and depths of untapped intelligence, beneath the exterior of their lunacy, their random outbursts of rage and incoherent ramblings lie a being extremely under estimated.
