Dhampyr doesn't have to be born to a human and a thinblood, it can also be two thinbloods (the latter is more likely just from a logistical standpoint)

OK, so if we're going strict OWoD, no, dahmpyrs are not born of two thinbloods or a human and a thinblood. They are solely born of Kuei-jin that have infused themselves with too much Yang Chi and had sex. It can be a Kuei-jin and a human, or two Kuei-jin.

Oh yeah Dhampir with an "I" are the Kindred-born ones

Accessing. "Time of Thin Blood", part of the Year of Reckoning event. Yup, dhampir can be born of a thinblood/human or thinblood/thinblood pairing. Said product functions almost exactly like a revenant ghoul family member. Wow. How boring. Really just a self-ghoul.

Yeah they're basically just revenants that don't have to deal with blood bond

Yeah see some vampires are terrified of dhampir as a portent of Gehenna and a reason to exterminate thinbloods Others say "What's the big deal, it's just a ghoul with no blood bond" The members of the latter group have bought into vampires' own hype to a deadly degree

They don't realize that if there were no blood bond, the argument over who's more powerful, a vampire or a ghoul, suddenly gets very, very dicey You're talking about someone with dots in Potence and Auspex who can Blood Heal etc and can *go around during the day*

(WWDITS is a great piss take on Vampire the Masquerade, every episode is like a VtM session gone horribly wrong, and Guillermo's arc is an amazing concept for a "ghoul as player character campaign")

now that you mention it, Chicago By Night had that 3000-year-old ghoul Prias who was like superboss-level powerful by the standards of any first edition vamps who'd be running a game in the setting, and could probably have singlehandedly murdered all the power players in town

There's that line from Dirk Gently and the Long Dark Teatime of the Soul, where Thor confronts Toe Rag the goblin saying he has some kind of "evil hold" over his father Odin And Toe Rag laughs, "How could a lowly one such as me have any hold over the Allfather?"
