Even the vampires in the shuttle's economy cabin dared to throw unfriendly glances at him, but were quickly dazzled by the flashing LEGATUS, snickering flatteringly without daring to look at him.
Anyway, better have the first embrace soon, this place isn't too friendly to regular people; haven't seen a single mortal along the way.
But still, one has to choose carefully, since the vampire who gives you the first embrace is like your 'guardian' and introducer. The future growth potential of a vampire entirely depends on the level of the vampire guardian. Of course, asking a regular Blood Knight is different from having an Elder Prince give you the first embrace; the costs are entirely different.
Just wanting to obtain a knight title isn't a big deal, but if you're really aiming to join the Senate, even if there's 'no place for Elders', you still must gain the friendship of a vampire clan, recognized and sheltered by Princes and Elders.
