When not in battle they could be watched as they go about their business throughout the land of Nosgoth. They weren't too strong or powerful but represented a situation better dealt with sooner rather than later as they could often surround their prey and even engage in ambush-like activities, although they were easily stunned and stayed stunned for a longer time than most other clans. In close combat, all Dumahim tended to be easier foes: they were relatively quick and could cause sudden damage but were also predictable and avoidable. Rarely do the adults showcase this talent, even though they seem capable. The clan, lacking ranged attacks, could still score some painful surprises with this maneuver and also utilized the tongue when feeding. One of the most notable features of the clan is an elongated tongue often used in combat by fledgelings as an extension to their melee range, making them reach further in hand to hand combat. They were also the first clues of the change of times for Raziel and he saw them as 'foul, scuttling beasts could not be kin of our high blood.' ĭumahim appear to still dress in a form of armor and adults have one limb larger than the other indicative of a half-remembered ritual of weapon wielding.

The first vampires engaged by Raziel and the most widespread clan in Nosgoth by the time of the story’s setting, the clan had been scattered due to their patriarch having been slain by vampire hunters. Raziel's first Material Realm enemies - the Fledgling DumahimĪfter Raziel returned as a wraith centuries later, he would encounter the devolved Dumahim as enemies. The city was abandoned by the clan who became nomadic scavengers. The ranks of the Dumahim were decimated by the hunters and Dumah himself was impaled to his throne. Īt some point the the Dumahim clan territory was attacked by human forces and overwhelmed. The Council would help and foil plots between the clans, betting upon the outcome as the factions warred. In the millennium after the raising of the lieutenants and establishment of Kain's empire, the 'lesser vampires' provided 'amusement and spice to an increasingly uninspired court' and presumably the Dumahim clan were involved in these internal struggles. Dumah's clan dominated an area in the territory north-east of the Lake of the Dead and west of the Oracle's Cave. Alongside the Melchahim, Rahabim, Razielim, Turelim and Zephonim, it was one of the 'six legions of vampires' involved in 'the destruction of the major human Kingdoms' pillaging Nosgoth, they had thoroughly domesticated humans within a hundred years, despite the efforts of the Vampire hunters. The Dumahim vampires were progeny of Dumah, who personally raised his clan during the Soul Reaver era, over the century following the Raising of the lieutenants at the Tomb of the Sarafan.
