Bardo: A human soul between the stages of after-death and rebirth in Tibetan thought.

Bardo was the signature Discipline practiced by the Children of Osiris, handed down to them by the Egyptian deity Osiris. It is a unique power that focuses on denying the Beast and restoring one's humanity. No bloodline possesses an affinity for Bardo, and it requires strict self-discipline and meditation. A Cainite cannot practice levels of this Discipline higher than their Humanity rating.
