You are doomed to experience Final Death or, worse, suffer eternal agony. No matter what you do, you cannot avoid this terrible fate. At some point during the chronicle, your Dark Fate will come upon you. Even more ghastly is the fact that you occasionally have visions of this fate, and the malaise these images inspire requires an expenditure of a temporary Willpower point to avoid, or else you lose a die from all of your actions for the remainder of the night. It is up to the Storyteller to determine the exact nature of this fate, and when it will occur. This is a difficult Flaw to roleplay; ironically, though it may seem as though it removes all free will, the knowledge of one’s death can be quite liberating.

Also in BoS p. 93 — text differs from V20 (58%)

You’re screwed. No matter what you do, regardless of your heroic deeds (possibly because of them), there’s a terrible end in your not-too-distant future. Prophecies speak of it, visions remind you of it, and other folks seem to know it too. You realize this fact, and it weighs upon you. From time to time,

you must spend a Willpower point in order to shrug aside the dread of your impending damnation; otherwise, you lose one die from all rolls for the rest of that day. A common Flaw for Nephandi, Infernalists, and other folks who don’t know when to stop fucking with Forces That Should Not Be Fuck’d With, this Dark Fate becomes Damocles’ sword in your Storyteller’s hands. Sleep well… while you can. (Once again, check out the Chapter Five genre entry for Tragedy.)
