Clans and Bloodlines in Vampire: The Masquerade - Kuei-jin

Kuei-jin

The Kuei-Jin are the vampires of the Kindred of the East. The term is a portmanteau word consisting of the Mandarin word for ghost (kuei) and the Japanese word for person (jin). It is a relatively recent construction designed to indicate the commonality of the undead condition throughout the Middle Kingdom.

They are called "Cathayans" by western Kindred and are not descended from Caine, and thus a separate type of supernatural creature from the vampires referenced above.
