Mémoire 58: Observation

The Archiviste Clan (記憶の保管者 (アルシヴィスト) , Arushivisuto), also known as Keepers of Memory ( () (おく) () (かん) (しゃ) , Kioku no Hokansha) and the Fangs That Reveal Blood ( () (あば) (きば) , Chi wo Abaku Kiba), is a family from Jun Mochizuki's The Case Study of Vanitas. They are a clan of Vampires who are very well-known and characterized by pale hair, dark brown skin, and the ability to inherit the memories of others via ingesting others' blood. However, the Archivistes have been long since obliterated, having been the victims of a genocide that took place a number of years ago and left behind seemingly only one survivor—Noé Archiviste. Noé himself has no memory of this and, since being a young child, has been raised by humans and Vampires alike, though none of a similar countenance to himself. Thus Noé stands as the lone remaining Archiviste in existence.

VnC Ch5 p25p2 - Noé, Amelia

Noé watching a memory

  • Memory reading - Members of the Archiviste Clan have the power to read someone's memories by drinking their blood. According to Noé's experiences, they're able to relive the memory as if they were experiencing it themselves — being able to see, hear, and feel whatever the other person did at the time. If an Archiviste is not drinking blood directly from someone, they can't go into their memories, just like when taking vital energy.
    • Based on Noé's conversation with Louis de Sade, an Archiviste can only read someone's memories once, and after that, they won't see anything anymore.[1]
    • When drinking Louis' blood for the first time, Noé's powers weren't fully developed yet, so he could only see a representation of his loneliness — Louis curled up in the darkness, all alone.[1]
  • Emotion reading - When drinking blood in other states — such as licking the blood from someone's clothes — an Archiviste can still see fragments of emotions from the source.[2]
