Somewhere far away from crowded population centers waits the evil queen of the vampires who has been working to put her machinations into action since the beginning of history to undermine the world of the living. Through her (mostly) female network of spies, diplomats, and occasional assassins she is able to manipulate nobility, wealthy merchants, religious leaders, and even military officers into working against their own interest and for the benefit of vampires world wide. Strong enemies, who if united would pose a great threat to undead across the world, have been defeated by deceiving the right people in positions of power to go to war with each other. You are a member of this network.

How did you come into this line of work? Did you willingly decide to infiltrate living society to protect vampirekind? Were you an important member of a hierarchy infiltrated by the sisterhood who ended up becoming an unwilling defector? Do you revel in turning the living against one another and seeing the destruction that ensues? Do you try to avoid unnecessary damage and do what you can to survive? What kind of high ranking circles do you move in?

A character with the sisterhood background is most likely to fit in when they don’t let other people know that they are a vampire. Although parties of questionable morals or with similar enemies may be okay with working together. While the background refers to the sisterhood and the members are predominately female, male members of the sisterhood are not entirely unknown.
