Malkavian:

"Clan Malkavian has suffered throughout history, and continues to do so to this very night. Every member of the clan is afflicted with madness, and all are slaves to their debilitating lunacy. The Malkavian clan founder is rumored to have been one of the most important vampires of old, but in committing some grievous crime, Caine cursed him and his decsendents with insanity. Throughout Cainite history, Malkavians have been alternately feared for their bizarre behavior and sought out for their even more bizarre insight. Kindred who have regular dealings with the Malkavians report that the clan is now more morbidly unstable than ever, spreading madness in its wake like a contagious disease." (p. 46)

Also known as "Lunatics," Malkavians possess the ability to read auras or minds (an ability they share with the Toreadors); to inflict insanity on others merely by speaking to them; and to disappear, to literally fade away before another’s eyes. (p. 73)
