Red Court Vampires are able to infect mortals, putting them on a path to becoming a fully-fledged Red Court Vampire. These infectees possess some of the same powers as their 'parents', though at a more minor level. These people haven't completely lost their humanity yet, however: only when they devour enough of a victim's blood to kill them will they turn all the way into a vampire. With the right amount of discipline, they can hold out for at least a while.
Some lucky infectees may find their way into joining the Fellowship of St. Giles - a secret organization that's bent on destroying the Red Court. They've devised magical tattoos which help to control the cravings, but they're often very demanding of their members. Additionally, these tattoos offer no relief or real help to those Infectees of the Tlazolli bloodline.
This site has incorporated a cousin bloodline to that of the Red King, called the Tlazolli. They are required to feed on blood + sexual energy, or they can't be sustained. Descended from one of the Lords of Night, who was hailed as the Goddess Tlazolteotl, after she fed to the dying drop on one of the five Wutong Shen in an attempt to devour all of his sinfulness and filth, they are different in specific ways to the standard, Red King line. They are referred to 'affectionately' as The Filth, and tend to feed on those discarded by society as their preferred flavor is that of defilement and the more pervasive vices.
