Hailing from beautiful Italy, the Giovanni were merchants long before they were Necromancers. Now the Clan has members around the globe, working as go-betweens and independent contractors for many other Vampires. Due the Agreement, a contract of non-aggression forged with the Camarilla centuries ago, the Clan has managed to keep itself safe from many Sect wars.
Some whisper of their horrid traffic with the dead, while others gossip about twisted incest within the family. Nobody can deny their wealth, or their influence in the world, nor their skill at getting things done. While they were once heavily affiliated with the Mafia, they have pulled almost all support from it in past decades, due to it becoming far too open and known. They still deal with the underworld (Both with a lowercase and capital U), though they tend to be more subtle about it these days.
Always there with a smile and a deal to be made, the Giovanni are both respected and feared by any Vampire with the wits to know what is best for them.

The List
|
Those in Favor
Giovanni are known to keep lists of favors owed, debts collected and the names of those who that have earned their favor. Should a name appear on this list the person should be treated with respect and afforded all courtesies of the clan.
Those out of Favor
Just like politics, someone can fall into and out of the favor of the Giovanni in a single evening. A misspoken word here, a false gesture there and the clan will turn on them and bring down seven kinds of hell upon any who would shelter them. Should a name appear on this list the person should be treated with the utmost contempt and attacked at any time. Their suffering shall be our hobby.
