Viadante are not true Gargoyles any more than they are true vampires; sunlight has little effect on them, though they are nocturnal and tend to bed as the sun rises, and while one may perch upon the side of a building, they are not prone to turning to stone, though they can hold perfectly still for short periods of time. Viadante often discreetly rule areas of a city through their vampire minions; these may believe themselves the princes of a domain as much as their underlings do, but only the shadows that play behind them know the truth.
