Giovanni Chronicles I (1444): The Last Supper dealt with the death of the Antediluvian Cappadocius and the ascendance of the Giovanni Necromancers. Characters created during that story began as the pawns (and meal) of the Conspiracy of Isaac — a group of vampires committed to helping the Giovanni achieve supremacy over Clan Cappadocian.

The conspiracy attempted to use the characters as fodder against its enemies, the Founders of the Camarilla. The tables turned, however, and the characters struggled against their erstwhile sires at the Founders’ command. In doing so, the characters learned two secrets: The Antediluvian Cappadocius sought apotheosis, a state of godhood, and Augustus Giovanni sought Cappadocius’ death. Augustus slew Cappadocius and drank the Antediluvian’s blood, leading to the end of the Cappadocian Clan and to the rise of the Giovanni in its place.
