Know Your Kindred – Spider Killer

Name:  Spider-Killer
Clan:  Ravnos
Generation:  5th
Embrace:  Unknown

Very little is known about the vampire called Spider-killer.  He haunts the cities and wastes of the American Southwest, wreaking chaos and destruction wherever he travels.  His mastery of illusions is well known and very powerful.  Many vampires have met their end trying to destroy him.

The earliest reports of Spider-killer date back to 1894.  His goals are hard to understand from his reported actions, but it would seem his favorite targets are Setites and Mexican Sabbat, who he repeatedly and ingeniously disgraces.

His path wanders as far south as Mexico and as far west as California.  Rumors say he travels with other supernatural creatures, like Werewolves and magi.  The Ravnos elders think he may be a remnant of the “Ravnos Neve” – new, more idealistic Ravnos who allied themselves with Native Americans during their unsuccessful war with white settlers.

Some believe he is not Ravnos at all, but one of the Nuwisha, a legendary breed of coyote shapeshifters.
