@ Lesdin: Then that raises a simple question: How the curse saved his live from Death itself, when they present exactly when the person is meant to die?

Even when someone trascends somehow (E.g.: Iceborns and Ascendants), enters an existential limbo (E.g.: Possessed bodies and the Shadow Isles' denizes), or anything else prior to the encounter with Death. Kindred appears exactly when the person isn't fit to live anymore, regardless of the reason; hence why they hate them, because they cheated their fate, but cannot avoid it forever.

If you tell me, Darssan's survival sounds like a plot-hole.
