The Embrace gifts some vampires with startling speed and reflexes. They can use Celerity to move with amazing swiftness in times of stress. Mortals, and even Kindred lacking this discipline, move as if in slow motion compared to the astonishing blur the vampire becomes.

Quietus, the discipline of silent death, is practiced by the assassins of Clan Assamite. Using the principles of poison, vitae control and pestilence, this blood-based discipline focuses on the destruction of its target through varying means. Quietus does not always cause a quick death; the assassins rely upon its secret lethality to hide their involvement with their victims.
