Spatha should have one of those Blood titles that's evocative of his powers/skills/personality. Given that what you've written up seems to suit a night-stalking vigilante detective a la Batman (plus appropriate superhuman abilities), may I suggest, "Who Wears the Night."

I've always imagined the Blood to be akin to the people of Amber.

[TheQuestionMan]

Re: The Blood 6e (Created by Aaron Allston and Reimagined by TheQuestionMan

 

Amber does a lot of Genre Crossing and The Blood as described do not travel to other Dimensions. It is forbidden and when I read Amber that seemed an important component. Also the social structure does not really fit. The Council of the Nine, the Blood Nobility, and the Black Guard (Bloodletters).

 

 

I am not sure it fits.
