Forgive me for distressing you, dear lady. I regret my habits have become rather less healthy since my death. In suppose that only stands to reason, doesn’t it? But perhaps you have been more fortunate — thus far.
The Malkovians are a bloodline of the Ventrue clan, who were founded by Anton Malkov, an inmate of England's Broadmoor Criminal Lunatic Asylum and spread through his childe, Dr. James Griffith Hartleigh. They are known as "Lunatics," an apt description. The Lunatics are few - a state of affairs that those who are aware of them would like to perpetuate, by whatever means necessary. To date, the bloodline has made no serious attempt to claim the status theoretically. The Ventrue resent the attention the Malkovians draw to their own mental instability, and since Venture and Malkovians are sometimes hard to tell apart, few Lords dare discount the horrifying possibility of a hidden contamination of the entire clan.
