Clan Flaw: City Gangrel suffer the same weakness as the main line of the Clan. Whenever a City Gangrel frenzies, he gains a temporary animalistic feature of some kind (which may replace an existing temporary one). The mechanical impact of such a feature is up to Storyteller discretion. City Gangrel tend to develop features reminiscent of the animals commonly found in urban environments: rats, dogs, cats, pigeons, and even insects.
Extra Flaws: Dark Secret - 1pt (Bill is an infernalist who the Sabbat Inquisition would hunt down, torture and execute in the blink of an eye, if they even suspected him), Addicted to Pain - 2pt Supernatural - Hell's price for the third level of the infernal Path of Pain.
Merits: Master Vampire - 5pt Supernatural - This infernal merit is the result of a pact between Bill and a demon lord. It grants Bill the power to Embraced mortals as 14th generation progeny of his bloodline, every time, and all his progeny are slaves to his will in a similar, but not identical way, to the blood-bond. This effect isn't altered by the Vaulderie or the blood-bond. His slaves are completely normal 14th generation vampires of the City Gangrel bloodline who would struggle to create progeny of their own. Incidentally, this is a brand new pact and investment for Bill and he will be paying off the demon lord for decades to come, if not centuries. Should Bill die the final death, all his spiritually enslaved progeny would regain their free will. See: 14th Generation
