The Lygos are a Nosferatu bloodline with a debilitating weakness against bright lights. The exact origin of the bloodline is uncertain, but according to one story, the first Lygos were trapped in a desecrated church in Ethiopia and buried in torpor. Centuries later the church was unearthed by Asenath, a Mekhet sorceress and possibly a childe of Longinus himself. When she awoke the Nosferatu from torpor, they fell on her in a ravenous swarm and collectively diablerized her, internalizing a form of the Mekhet clan curse on themselves.
