Legends become nightmares
Centuries passed - and some in the Society wanted more.
More influence, more power, more control.
A violent rebellion and terrible betrayal lead to the rise of The Company.
The Were
Over the centuries, the Anima that joined the Company ranks were twisted into something brutal - the Were. No longer loyal to their chosen beast, or their tribe, they became a weapon to be wielded and feared by all.
The Hex
The Veritas bewitched by the Company's promise of power began to use their gifts of illusion to obscure and steal, manipulating the emotions of others for influence and control. They transformed into the Hex -masters of deception able to bend others to their will.
The Striga
Tempted by beauty, wealth and fame - the Sangre in the Company became distorted into the Striga. No longer using their blood powers to heal, they instead stole or seduced the blood from others. The price an unquenchable thirst and terrible blood rage, used in the service of the Company.
