Daten-shi

A Daten-shi is a mage who has succumbed to bloodlust.

Mages can lose control gradually or in the space of one consecration, but the result is always the same. Daten-shi are avatars of violence and destruction, and desire only to cause as much extermination of human life as they can within the boundaries of the given phage's power.

There is much debate over whether phages or humans are responsible for the creation of Daten-shi.
