The Promethean’s body (or at least the face) used to belong to someone well-known. Prometheans are often ignorant of the nuances of human culture, and don’t often take into account who owned the bodies they use to create their progeny.

The Promethean gains a +1 die pool bonus on [[Persuasion Skill|Persuasion]] and [[Intimidation Skill|Intimidation]] rolls when dealing with people who knew who the dead person was. Reminded of a famous (or infamous) figure, they feel an involuntary shiver, especially since a Promethean who has no idea who his body once belonged to acts as if there’s nothing weird. Meeting a dead idol (or a dead serial killer) can be a creepy experience, although most people will rationalize the meeting: “Man, didn’t she look like that supermodel chick who killed herself a couple months ago?”

'''Drawback''': Elvis is dead. No one used Elvis’ body to make a Promethean (the same goes for Kurt Cobain, Marion Monroe and Princess Di). Still, stories about Elvis turning up in supermarkets and out-of-the-ways diners have circulated for years. The supermarket tabloids lap up Elvis sightings, and a report could have an out-of-the-way area crawling with hack journalists. Although a Promethean with a familiar face might find it easier to scare people, all it needs is for someone not to be sensible and rational when he meets the Promethean, and decide that yes, she really was a dead celebrity.
