	Despite their common bonds, Orphics do not automatically know everything about the nature of their colleagues. Many an Orphic scholar has remained blissfully unaware that the ongoing acolyte he called his protÈgÈ was a necromantic vampire or a mage in disguise. In fact, most mortals within the Circle remain unaware that there are vampires and mages in their midst; likewise, many mages are unaware of vampires, and vise versa. Such secrets are even better kept than that of Circle membership. When they aren’t, members die.		Despite their common bonds, Orphics do not automatically know everything about the nature of their colleagues.

	The venerable tradition of the Orphic Circle reaches beyond recorded history into the shadows of a more mythic time. Current members believe that its founder was an Egyptian vampire named Lazarus whose fear of the second death led him to descend into the Underworld to seek true immortality. From his belief in the mysteries of the Isis-Osiris religion sprang the Court of the Orphic Circle, whose members even today practice rituals derived from many of Orphism’s Mysteries.

	The Orphic Circle still retains this time-honored tradition of the descent into the Underworld, after the legend of Orpheus who did the same. Today’s three hundred members uniformly share the desire to discover the true nature of death and immortality, and have come along way toward doing so. Consisting of scholars, vatics, death mages, vampires, and even some wraiths, the Orphic Circle promotes research in the Underworld and, like a well-greased piece of Machiavellian machinery, involves itself deeply and securely in the politics of the Restless.
