If he is neglected it could turn to jealousy.

If he is abused, then it might turn to hate. Still others are bonds in which there is affection but it is not mutual and there are perverse bonds where Thralls are abused and tormented.Ī Thrall is never indifferent towards his Regnant. Others are mutual when two vampires decide to enter into a mutual bond it is the closest thing a vampire can feel to "love" in the sense we as people know it. However the addictive qualities are still there and the bond is re-enforced with further feedings. Some vampires use it as a means of control and there is very little warmth in the relationship. It is in this manner that elders retain the control of younger Kindred. Relationships of this manner ARE a perverted form of "love" as both the hunger for the taste and the emotional affections of the Regnant become the focus of the minds of most Thralls. Vitae is like heroin and once you are on it and enthralled by a Kindred it is you are hooked on the "juice".


Not only does the Blood Bond have severe emotional implications, the very nature of Kindred blood and its addictive qualities further manipulate the Thrall into servitude. Indeed certain personality types that are particularly dependent or of low Willpower can even commit suicide at the bequest of the Regnant. Thralls will do just about anything for their masters. The constant is that for the Thrall, the Regnant becomes the most important figure in his unlife or life (if the Thrall is someone other than another Kindred). The metaphor used for this condition is love and it manifests in many different ways depending on the personalities of the Kindred involved just as love manifests differently in real life. The master is referred to as the Regnant. The servant is said to be in thrall of another and is referred to as a Thrall. The one who drank the blood is the servant of the vampire he drank from.
