An entire vampire council consisting of only women. These warrior women of the night are direct descendants of Mania, mother of ghosts, undead, and other spirits of shadows and darkness. They control the shadows of the night with extremely skilled precision. Their tactics are so concise that military elite special forces tactical units are modeled after them. The Mania Hecate poses the rare ability to manipulate minds ultimately leading to severe mental illness. Council women are immune to all forms of mental illness. They only bestow gifts of immunity to high ranking warriors. Skilled experts in hand to hand combat with knives and in archery, these women took the role of defenders on the island, a military. A balance between survival, defense, and maintaining order while at crossroads with human beings. Mania Hecate vampires are disciplined beyond military standards with short tempers, hair trigger fingers, and the capability to manipulate the mind, inducing powerful eternal hallucinations. The only known cure for Hecate Hallucination is Mania Mending. Vampires of this council rarely perform Mania Mending. The procedure is purely through touch. A Mania Hecate vampire could send a man over the edge with just a single touch. The trait also allows them to control animals.
The Mania Hecate Council favors the Cane Corso. Cane Corsos are gorgeous muscular black dogs believed to descend from the extinct Greek Molossus canine. Some weigh in at one hundred and ten pounds. Mania Hecate control these massive dark beings with a single touch. Canes always lead the charge in battle for the council, similar to police K9 units. The exception is fair and ample warning of violent attacks on their victims. Where K9 Police units would call out “Come out with your hands up or I will release the dog. You will get bit”, Mania Hecate offer no such warning.
Males associated with the Council of Mania Hecate are only permitted to carry out necessary time consuming tasks, errand boys. Even so, men leap at the opportunity to serve a council of deadly seductresses. No male has ever served on the council and never will. The best hope of climbing ranks for a male is to become a cabana boy for one specific Mania Hecate council member. Members are entitled to one male attendee per every two cane corsos owned to avoid temptations and distractions. Men’s primary role is to care for the canes and complete any bidding his warrior tasks him with.
The vampire warriors wear personalized armor made from intricately woven Damascus steel adorned with black onyx and smoky quartz, on one side of the ship. Commemorative knives and swords forged out of titanium and platinum with gems embedded into the hilts, line the walls of their massive stronghold.
Unless a person is a battle-ready female, you probably have a better chance of going clinically insane than converting to the Mania Hecate Council.
