The Licinii are a bloodline of Kindred dating back to ancient Rome. They claim to be a bloodline of the Julii clan, but this is doubted by many. Licina Piso, the founder of the clan, was Embraced by a Nosferatu who was himself possessed by a Strix. As a result, the childer she sired possessed both Julii and Nosferatu characteristics: specifically, they suffer from shocking deformations of their limbs and a predisposition to losing Humanity. The Licinii, however, are largely unaware of their hybrid nature; most of them regard themselves as pure Julii who are under some sort of curse.
