Fhiti

Deal
The Fhiti were ancient cave-dwellers whose mystic gifts allowed them to manipulate the flesh of their victims into any form they desired. In order to keep up with the ever evolving man, the Fhiti learned their language to better lure man towards their nests. However, over time, they became enamored with the interesting dialogue and lives of man, and the species adjusted to become a part of their pack rather than hunting them down. Notorious grave robbers, the Fhiti steal the flesh off the recently deceased and adorn it over themselves, giving them the appearance of a fellow member of mankind. While they still feed off the flesh of man, they gain their nutrients through consuming the dead--both dead bodies, and dead skin. The Fhiti’s next step in evolution was modernization, and on the outskirts of Renwick’s mountainside they skill reside. Rather than huddled away in the caves, they welcome man with open arms to their hot springs and spa services, posing as a large family of elderly. While tourists and residents alike can pay for a relaxing evening, the Fhiti once again feast on man--just, this time, on their scrubbed away skin.

Resources
The Fhiti are a powerful but peaceful people, with most of their abilities slowly turning vestigial. Each Fhiti possesses the unique skill to melt flesh off their opponents and twist and mold its shape. Most of their architecture appears to be made of adobe, but is actually founded in hardened skin and muscle. They have a decent fortune as none of the Fhiti desire wages, but most of that money goes towards paying off security guards that may have caught one of their young in a grave robbing endeavor for a new skin.

Agenda
To continue to listen to the stories of man as they patronize them with massages and spa treatments, and to live peacefully in Renwick. The Fhiti must rob graves in order to get new skins and become new individuals when it would become no longer passable that their personas would still be living. Additionally, some of their youth enjoy their time in Renwick, and a few have robbed the graves of those who have passed from the earth too soon. However, due to their horrific abilities and occasionally torturous hunger, the Fhiti have a deal with the local Vivian Maddox to keep their secret safe.
