I have dedicated a majority of my existence, over several centuries, to the search and study of any and all things related to Caine and the Book of Nod. Despite the terrors I have experienced since my quest began, I am thankful that I pressed on. The following files are the english translation of what I have learned. This information has cost me more than you might imagine, including but not limited to the lives of hundreds of vampires, mortals, and other supernaturals. Those of us who have not lost our lives are on the brink of madness. My nightmares cause me to rötschrek every day, and my nightly paranoia has caused me to frenzy more times than I can count. To curse anyone with this knowledge would be more evil than the demons who threaten our world. But placing it here, sharing the secrets, it all makes me feel like a small amount of the burden has been lifted. Only I and my progeny know the password to these files. So be it, for now.
