Added DiffLines:

* ArmourPiercingQuestion: When Christof laments the iniquity of God permitting men to become demons, Wilhem asks why a killer's misery warrants DivineIntervention when children weep on the battlefield and receive no such grace.

* TooSpicyForYogSothoth: His peers on the Tzimisce Council of Voivodes forbade his "mad scheme" to diablerize the antediluvians, knowing this would provoke the wrath of not only the other vampire clans, but "powerful and jealous forces" in the wider TabletopGame/OldWorldOfDarkness upon Clan Tzimisce.

Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationalBadass: Per the sourcebooks, Brandl was an ineffectual puppet of a prince whose reign was undermined by the dual headaches of the Premysl family's ascendancy and an uncooperative Kindred court. This is not at all apparent in his interactions with the Brujah, towards whom he is arrogant and imperious, and he's secure enough in his position to sanction Clan Tremere with violence for breaking his city's rules. Ecaterina's vague confirmation of his death also doesn't allude to its undignified circumstances.

* GenuineHumanHide: Her clothing (which gives the impression of a FurBikini) appears to have actual human hands as shoulderpads. Given the Tzimisce's [[BodyHorror predilections]], it's entirely possible her entire outfit [[WasOnceAMan used to be a person. . .]] ''[[AndIMustScream and may still be.]]'' Her boss bio in the official strategy guide confirms the pelt itself [[FurVsFang belonged to a werewolf foe]], but she could very well have given it the same treatment.

* ButNotTooBi: Expresses blatant attraction to Christof, and her interactions with her same-sex sire are quite suggestive, ''and'' she's blood-bound to [[MsFanservice Lucretia]]. The official strategy guide explicitly says she was ''seduced'' by Lucretia, but Lily specifies that it was a "handsome" setite that abducted and forced her into slavery in the game proper.



* AmbiguousSituation: It's unclear if she's meant to be a revenant or a vampire. On one hand, she's a classic example of TheRenfield and [[NonActionGuy displays no supernatural abilities]]; on the other, her fellow Premysl revenants have mouths full of broken teeth, while her character model has clear vampire fangs, and unlike them she's never seen in daylight. If she is meant to be a vampire, she's the only Tzimisce in the game who has ''not'' altered their appearance in some horrific manner, as her physical degradation seems entirely mundane.

* BettyAndVeronica: Played with. She seems like a natural Veronica, as the Anezka Christof clings to was a chaste, inviolable nun who saw only good in the world; Lily, by contrast, is a hot, seductive, and sexually forward Toreador. Thing is, Anezka has since become a Tzimisce ghoul and committed all sorts of depraved and heinous acts in their service [[spoiler:albeit for a good cause]]; Lily is a saint by comparison to ''that'' Anezka.

* GoodIsNotDumb: After the timeskip however, he fits into this. He's fully aware that he's become a FishOutOfTemporalWater, does his best to adapt and manages to do it surprisingly well. When meeting a firearm for the first time, he instantly recognizes it as a piece of advanced technology, rather than a product of black magic. His first order of business after seeing the modern world –- and poetically lamenting how mad the world has become -– is to correctly identify a mugger/cutpurse and commandeer his clothes to better blend in.

** Her Embrace of Christof could be seen as an inversion. The recalcitrant childe she sired ended up breaking away from her influence and seemingly perished in pursuit of a foolhardy agenda she'd washed her hands of, but the end result of his quest was their ancient foe's downfall and victory for her faction of Sabbat. And she [[spoiler:wasn't even the one who woke him from torpor, having given him up for dead.]]
