## History

### Creation

Clan Blank was formed when a a male vampire from the Snow Clan's main branch migrated to Japan and married a female vampire from one their native clans. The woman had the uncanny ability to manipulate shadows, which greatly complemented the Japanese vampire clans' usage of shinobis. After some passage of time, the patriarch of the Blank Clan returned to the main family in Nightingale, bringing his descendants along with him, and has continued to serve the main family for generations.

It happened when Agnes Snow's uncle decided to travel the world. He then went to Japan and had a child with a woman from Clan Kuroyami, that child didn't have the ability to manipulate flames but did gain immunity to the sun & fire. This was something that didn't go down well in the past. The clan leader -Agnes's mother- proposed an alliance to the Clan Kuroyami which had difficulties at the time. The proposal was as following Clan Kuroyami become a subordinate clan to Clan Snow, in return, Clan Snow will support and help Clan Kuroyami. Hence Clan Blank came to being.

### Betrayal

After Count Alucard discovers a shady group plotting to usurp Countess Agnes' and Countess Annasthsia's Count titles, it is revealed that several Snow and Fulger clan member have turned coats and have infiltrated the two clan's inner workings for several years, and were gradually stirring the clan towards a change in leadership. This mysterious organization sought to dethrone Countess Agnes Snow by exploiting her husband's failing health, since the death of a vampire's spouse will struck a significant blow to their strength and cause a moment of vulnerability that the traitors sought to take advantage of. Additionally, the traitors sought to exploit the two clans heiresses as birth machines for new generations of vampire nobles, which greatly caught Count Alucard's ire.

However, after Count Alucard's timely intervention, the traitors were all brutally slaughtered by members of **Clan Blank** under the Count's orders. Following the uprooting of traitors, Clan Snow experienced a number of reforms under the temporary leadership of Count Alucard, which served to strengthen the clan's security and provide a steadier form of their government.

## Abilities

**Shadow Manipulation:** Clan Blank vampires, have the uncanny ability to manipulate and meld with shadows. It is their greatest tool in performing their espionage and assassination duties. Because of the Witches' vulnerability to sneak attacks, many of them fear vampires from Clan Blank, since a seasoned vampire from Clan Blank can kill their victims without being noticed in the slightest.

**Sunlight & Fire Immunity:** as a member of Clan Snow's branch family, vampires from Clan Blank did not inherit their pyrokinetic abilities but because of their heritage, they still inherited a natural immunity to sunlight and a high resistance to flames, a rare trait that only vampires from the Snow Clan possess.
