I really want to like these dudes, because they sound neat from what I understand, but this is where the problem is - I am not sure if I understand them correctly? Which is why I came here for help.

From what I understand, there was revolt in these guys called Giovanni, who were really into incest I think?, and next thing you know, we have Hecata, who are all about death rather than incest and financial ties. This is where I am confused - do they no longer fuck with economics now? Do they now embrace from outside the family? What even is their approach to embracing? From what I gather, they are also independent, and only that, which seems...tad unique, right?

On top of that, I am also confused about the downsides of being Hecata - the painful kiss is a stinger, sure, and implies that consensual feeding is off the table, but otherwise is not that bad? And obsession with death and disease is also not that crippling (unless I am not reading into it enough?) But past all that, what is even goal of current Hecata? Or will they just have another revolt in a couple of years and all of it doesn't matter? Also...do they have antediluvian, or? Because, the implication would be not, right? I assume that is also why they can be fully independent?

So, long story short, the imagine that I have in my mind is that of, say, assistant of grave keeper, or embalmer, and this assistant showed, perhaps, unusually calm approach to all things macabre, or perhaps they were all alone and had no future prospects, and so Hecata embraces them, from where they become something of social worker - cleaning gruesome streets, treating sick and poor (where you have plenty of disease and death), doctor services, etc. Hell, if you want to push it, there could even be Hecata embalmers who specialize in embalming vampires, which might be interesting to certain groups.
