Like using Abbat kindred, clan impersonating them all to blood brothers and having my "Abbat" circle? -- Aaron The Nosferatu Stuff

No. It functions like "slave", "prince", etc. [ quoted text not captured ]

Whilst "Slave" could be taken under the restrictions section, I am unsure as to how "Alpha Circle" would not fit under "all non-sect, non-title text". [ quoted text not captured ]

It is actually an advantage from the bodyguard POV (and the bodyguard effect is not suspended by Seeds). Seeds' ruling text will be updated eventually. [ quoted text not captured ]

That it prevented certain things occurring, regarding (D) actions was what I was referring to, such that it would be arguable. [ quoted text not captured ]
