The Druzhina Grozny is an ancient, scattered bloodline.
Though their exact origin has long been left to time and torpor,
those Kindred who specialise in such things have assembled documents 
kept by elders that suggest these Kindred split from the main
clan well over half a millennia somewhere along the northern most
edge of Europe or Eastern Europe – Scandinavia, Finland or perhaps Northern Russia. 

Mercenaries for hire, the so-called Scourge of Kindred use their skills ruthlessly
to maintain order and tradition; the Druzhina Grozny consider it their
duty to protect their covenant from the influence of traitors and diablerists. 

The Druzhina Grozny’s methods of conducting their craft coincide with their beliefs that vampires, 
at their core, are hunters. Predators. 
They believe that the Druzhina Grozny are the hunters of hunters,
the kings of predators, the scourge of the Damned. 

The Druzhina Grozny are select troops in personal service of powerful Kindred, 
often Princes, to serve the best interests of the covenant that they are a member of. 
Long ago, their original functions included bodyguarding, 
raising tribute from the conquered territories and 
serving as the core of a group of Kindred sworn to defend their covenant.
