4->[[CowardlyLion Lambach]] does not believe that anyone can do anything to stop [[EldritchAbomination his grandsire]]. In his despair, he accepts his destiny as his grandsire's witness, and hopes [[BetterToDieThanBeKilled only to slay himself before It finally devours him]]. As such, Lambach carries a bottle of gasoline and a lighter at all times. if the characters show him some kindness and give him a vessel, however, he offers them a boon in return - whatever he can do short of giving his unlife for them. He is still a nobleman and a Tzimisce, with a [[SacredHospitality Tzimisce's regard for hospitality]]. The fact that the characters can still treat a guest with honor moves him more deeply than he can say.
