A dhampyr is a being of human and vampire descent. In the eyes of the Clans, they are viewed with disdain due to their mixed heritage. Most dhampyr are incapable of wielding vampiric abilities their entire lives. At most, they might have slight superhuman strength and regenerative abilities. It is implied that they also have a shorter lifespan compared to pureblooded vampires - though still longer than a typical human lifespan. However, unlike most vampires dhampyrs are immune to sunlight thanks to their human heritage.
