The bloodline of Nergal craves power most of all the Bloodlines of the Clan of Devils, and arguably the most of any Cainites. Willing to take any risk, make any show of power, and commit any atrocity to gain demonic potency. Nergal himself was relentless of his pursuit of knowledge at the expense of both his descendants and even himself. However his past would ever catch up to him, with even his brother Moloch facilitating the uni cation of the thirteen Clans to move against Nergal at the volcanic fortress-city of Knossus. Nergal's fate in that war is disputed, with many claiming his death, prompting his Bloodline to rename themselves Orphans.
