It is true that the Medieval Age also saw the welcoming of the Giovanni into Clan Cappadocian and the Diablerie of Saulot but I'd argue that Gratiano's Embrace uniqueness stems exactly from how common it was.

By which I mean that while Augustus' Embrace was more akin to the Cappadocians creating a bloodline rather than an Embrace proper (Cappadocius didn't even rise from slumber to do the deed) and the Tremere's usurpation of the Salubri's place among the Clans of Caine was just that, a violent usurpation rather than an Embrace), Lasombra's Embrace of Gratiano was unique because it...

Honestly, I would love if they did for Vampire what "Shattered Dreams" did for Werewolf.

Just give us "Enoch by Night" and reveal everything. Who sired who, when, who hates who and why, stats for the Antediluvians were they were "just" Elders, etc. People who wouldn't want to see all the secrets revealed could just ignore it as non-canon.
