The Bloodlines According to Jaakob Guttmacher


The Blood of Judas. "Now there are many thoughts as to how exactly Judas became a vampire," Jaakob had begun, "The first belief and most common is that God cursed Judas and his family to walk the earth until the second coming of Jesus, and until that time he would thirst for the blood of Jesus, which of course he could only receive through Christians. I don't know that I buy that," Jaakob added, "because I've seen these folks take many an unbaptised meal."

"The second belief is not as common, but goes along with the Last Supper. This line of thought holds that Jesus was quite serious when he said to drink of his blood and eat of his flesh and, in fact, half of his disciples walked out on him because of this. There are quite a few people who believe Jesus himself was a vampire, thus it is easily believed that Jesus himself created Judas knowing he would betray
him, and perhaps created Judas as a grand experiment. A bit nuts, but then what about us isn't?"

"As for the Blood of Ham, they are occultist dabblers, and the dark arts is their play ground. Ham was supposedly cursed by God when he walked in on his drunk, naked father, Noah. Hence, they also get a
reputation as being homosexuals, and perhaps there Is a deeper seed in homophobia. Heck of a punishment 'cause your dad can't keep his clothes on, eh?"

"The other two lines are closely tied together. As we all know, God set his mark on Caine to protect him when he exiled him from his parents, somewhere east of Eden. Yeah, it gets silly sometimes. This was to ensure no other would slay him for his deed. But he was only the third person on earth, so who would kill him? This is where Lilith comes in."

"According to some Jewish myths, Lilith was Adam's first wife. No, you won't find her in the Bible. She had been made from dirt, as was Adam. Apparently, what you westerners call the 'missionary' position is
God's chosen form of copulation. Lilith, who considered herself as equal to Adam, saw no reason why she couldn't sometimes be on top. This is were the succubus part of her mythos comes in, where a man
claims to be frozen in bed, with a beautiful demon forcing copulation on him. It was the ultra-orthodox way for sexually repressed men to explain their nocturnal ejaculations, which are sinful, as the Old
Testament taboos the spilling of one's seed on the ground. Well, God kicked her out and she went...somewhere east of Eden! There must have been a hedge to the west or something. I mean, they only had the whole damn world. Anyway, Lilith was off in the east, consorting with demon's who had apparently read the Kama Sutra and discovered that its kind of good to sometimes let the woman do the work. Now you've got the seed of Lilith running around the world, and this is a threat to the descendants of Caine." 

"Between Caine's cursed blood running around, and Lilith's, it's a wonder that mortal humans weren't quickly overrun. So Caine and Lilith are supposedly opposed in this sequence, although some hold that Caine and Lilith got together as well. In addition to all this is the thought that Lilith's brood aren't really vampires, but demons; that's supposed to be what she uses Hassidic sperm for. Though, I've never
heard of a Hamite summoning one of the Blood of Lilith.

Anyway, that's it in a nutshell, and if you figure out how it really works, be sure to let me know."
