From White Wolf Game Studios' Vampire: The Masquerade role-playing game. The discipline of Melpominee allows its practicioners (almost always a Daughter of Cacophony) to stir the emotions of listeners by singing. This delightful enhancement of the singing voice captivates all who hear it -- especially any Toreador -- right up until it drives them literally mad. It is rumored that Melpominee is the bastard offspring of the Presence and Dementation disciplines, just as the Daughters of Cacophony are rumored to be the result of some sort of union between a Toreador and a Malkavian.
