Demonic Ancestor

No family admits to it. There was a bargain once, or a summoning that went too well, or a stranger at the door on a night of storm; and since then there has been in every generation one child who bites.

The taint is many lives old and has not weakened. Those who carry it are strong and quick and hard to kill, and ill luck goes with them. They are not all wicked. But evil comes easily to them, like a road that runs downhill, and a good deed costs one of them what it costs another man to lift a cart. The occult is plain reading to them from childhood. Priests can tell them in a crowd, and they can tell the priests.
