The Mystic (vampire clan)

The Mystic clan is one of the bigger vampire clans of Keldorn. Even though the highest ranking members are all mages, the Mystics are a clan that is a jack of all trades. The members are chosen for their usefulness with no regard to their race, sex or background. Every one of their members has to have a skill or talent in something to make them useful - usually this talent of theirs is the very reason their sire sires them to begin with.

Sentiment
The clan's "sentiment" is simple. Those who - despite being chosen, or rather, initially mistaken as worthy - are considered unworthy are systematically undone by "natural causes". To put it more bluntly: final death - this clan has little tolerance for incompetence. The cause of their demise may differ, but the end result is all the same: one less incompetent carpetbagger to feed.

Due to the diversity of their members and the secrecy of their true intentions, the clan had earned numerous enemies who would gladly want to see these so-called "Mystics" all undone.

As the saying goes: "Only a Mystic knows his or her goals."

The Anti-Inquisition
The Great Council of Keldorn tasked the clan (along with a few other clans) to actively oppose the Titanist Inquisition, and protect the undead society from them in the continent, projecting Keldorn's interests.

Thus an Anti-Inqusition section was established by the clan. Havens and garrisons were pitched outside Keldorn.

Most likely, only those in the highest ranks in the Mystic clan know how much land and secret bases they own outside of their home island Keldorn.

The anti-Inquisitors are also used as first-line soldiers. Formed of highly capable veterans as well as newly selected chosen ones, the anti-Inquisitors are a force to be reckoned with, therefore the Anti-Inquisiton is also often used against the clan's lycan foes too outside of Keldorn.

Mysticism
The Mystics are a very magic-oriented clan for a good reason: the progenitor of the clan was a highly talented wizard with magic flowing through his veins. As such, those who were turned into vampires via his bloodline will inherit some of his superior magical ability, with spellcasting coming as something almost like a second nature. This isn't an actively activated power, but rather a passive one, where spellcasting comes much more naturally, easily, plus the vamprie may cast more spells before needing to rest.

Mind's Eye
Vampires of the Mystic clan are able to see the future... in a way. No, it is not as grandiose as being able to predict when someone will die, or what will happen if somebody does something specific. It's much more subtle, in the way of being able to instinctively predict the logical outcome of already-started motions and their collisions - such as a person stepping on the road while a horse-driven cart is approaching. A Mystic would be able to predict being hit by the cart and not step on the road, or jump out of the way just in the nick of time. They are able to sense strikes before they even come, but may or may not be fast enough to react to them in time.

Mytics are also able to, to a certain extent, predict the actions of individuals they are familiar with, but these predictions may not be accurate, as they are more like subconscious mental simulations within the Mystic's head. Because of this part of their power, they are often employed as advisors even by other clans.

Once again, it is important to note the premotions a Mystic has - whether about the logical outcome of a physical motion (such as a cart going down the road a pedestrian is stepping onto) or the long-term decisions and actions of a sentient individual - cannot be guaranteed to be accurate, since they are simulations within the vampire's head, rather than actual visions of the future: the Mystics are no seers or prophets, merely people who predict and calculate.
