Who Are Mekhet

"Unnoticed and silent, they watch. Their eyes have seen a thousand secrets, and yours are no exception. They are the Shadows that dwell among the Kindred, and everyone knows that the darkness has eyes in the Danse Macabre. Seek their wisdom under cover of night, and discover what awaits the wise and the patient."

Mekhet are a clan with an affinity to darkness. The hallmarks of the clan are stealth, finesse and wisdom.

There is often a certain amount of finesse and refinement in whatever Mekhet do. Mekhet can appear as stealthy information-gatherers, spies, assassins or scholars; but just as well they can be aristocrats making their mark in the societies of the damned. A Mekhet bodyguard for example is unlikely to rely on brute force, but rather know an ornate fighting style. A Mekhet thief is gracious or invisible, not a sloppy vandal. To the others, Mekhet appear to be the most ordinary of the kindred, the ones who seem to have the least to distinguish them from other vampires. They watch and hide, and the other clans don't seem to take much notice of them. Because Mekhet alone from the major clans have no powers of control over animals or people, they prefer to work in secret behind the scenes, via conspiracies and shadow cults.

The Mekhet's Embrace is a lot like dying and being reborn. The mind is preserved through the process, given perspective on the trial of death and transformation, it is shown the spiritual alchemy underlying the gross physical act. The Mekhet Beast is strangely silent compared to the Beasts of other Clans, making it hard for the Mekhet to distinguish what actions were his own and what actions were the result of the Beast's influence. Their kiss feels like revelation, like a corpse-cold epiphany, and their victims experience it like a surge of enlightenment, like they are on the verge of realizing some great secret or insight. For Mekhet, their Vessels are puzzles, means to find an enlightenment hidden in each drop of stolen blood.

As vampires closely related to darkness, Mekhet are more sensitive to light and fire. They take additional damage from fire and sunlight.

The History of Mekhet

The origins of the clan lie in the deep nights of ancient Egypt, where they fled the sun into the necropolis and learned the secrets of the dead. The word "Mekhet" comes from M'kh't (sometimes also spelled "Mekhat", since the script of Ancient Egypt did not depict vowels), which has been translated to mean "balance". These Mekhet believed that their souls had been never weighted against the feather of Ma'at and so, the true afterlife was barred to them. These creatures are separated from their ka through a lack of grave offerings (which caused the ka to leave the body), which allows the ba to enter the khat. The ba then has to fulfill the duties of the ka, meaning that the newly created Mekhet loses his reflection and his shadow. One Clan legend tells that the Cult of Set transformed themselves into Mekhet as a way of resistance against Akhenaten and his sun-god Aten. In doing so, they could not be possessed by the spirit servants of the pharaoh and raise later to exert their vengeance against him. These priests later became the Followers of Seth. Other stories tell of a group of mariners that traveled into the unknown regions of the Underworld, giving their blood to the restless natives in exchange for directions. When they returned, they had left their blood in the Below and were instead filled with yearning for answers.

Clan Members

Disciple: Koroleva Teney ♦ Livarian ♦

Koroleva has spent centuries perfecting her skills as a spy and assassin. She takes great pride in her work and that of the younger clan members. Koro has ended up keeping to herself, only interacting with others when hired to find out information or take out threats to the Kindred. While outsiders find her cold and detached, she is actually very nurturing, almost like a mother hen in regards to the younger clan members.
"Did you really think I wouldn't be able to find out your darkest secrets? Foolish creature."

The Hidden Sanctuary

Hiding in plain sight is Mekhet's greatest gift. With small bases spread out through the land, and a main sanctuary hidden under a grand library Mekhet are more well off then they are given credit for. True many are in disrepair from the majority of the clan slumbering, but with the rise of Grendel, and the awakening of Koroleva things are moving quickly. Hushed whispers talk of doors and tunnels once sealed reveling themselves to those worthy of Mekhet's secrets.
