The creatures who call themselves Pretenders dwell
in the cracks in mankind’s perception. To the untutored eye they are nothing to
look at: beggars, cripples, prostitutes, and anonymous strangers. Their faces
are unremarkable, their demeanor bland. They normally aren’t the types who like
to draw attention to themselves. Although there are numerous subcategories,
they all pretend to be human, hiding their demonic otherness behind a mask of carefully
constructed banality. Only to those who truly know how to see do they stand
revealed, their auras suffused with fearsome energy.
