The Invictus
The Invictus is the landed aristocracy of the Damned. An elitist organization at its core, the Invictus teaches that
power is everything and those who gain power deserve it most: those with the greatest skill, the greatest ambition, and
overall, the greatest claim to leadership. The Invictus appeals far more to elder Kindred than to neonates, and the covenant
believes that age and experience are worth far more than anything youth might offer. The so-called First Estate claims to
have created most of the common titles and ranks in the modern nights, especially the title of Prince. The Invictus clearly
thinks in terms of aristocracy, and like any aristocracy, it suffers in disorder. Therefore, the Invictus strives to maintain
order among the Damned and seeks to uphold the laws of the Kindred to the fullest extent. The most frightening aspect of the
Invictus is that the covenant might be right: If they don’t hold the power of the Kindred, then who will? Perhaps the long
history of Invictus tyranny exists because it’s the only way to rule the Damned.
Benefit: Members of the Invictus benefit from their league of friends and
the resources of the group as a whole. This allows players of Invictus characters to purchase the Herd, Mentor, Resources and
Retainer Merits for substantially fewer experience points than players of other Kindred do.
