Amphivena
The mystic power of the Gorgons takes its name from the Amphisbaena, the serpent with a head at each end of its body, which is said by some to have been spawned from blood that dripped from Medusa’s severed head. Some modern Gorgons claim to have encountered offspring of the Amphisbaena, whose young have spread as far as Delhi and London, if the legends are to be believed. The song of an amphisbaena (as any spawn of the Amphisbaena is called) is supposedly enchanting or maddening, depending on the harmony or disharmony of the two heads.
The Gorgons’ unique Discipline of Amphivena grants its user power over serpents and her own body. Some of these powers, when seen by other Kindred, have lead some to mistake Gorgons for an offshoot of the Gangrel clan. But while this Discipline grant a Medusa bestial, shapeshifting abilities, it’s ultimate aim is to empower her use of the other Disciplines inherited from the Ventrue clan.
