Vampire Head Quarters

The clans of the dark ages

The Crusaders brought back many tales from the Holy Land, some of wich concerned a band of fanatical killers. The word the Europeans coined for these silent murderers was assassin.The Cainites, however, already knew of a similar threat from Araby - the diablerists of Clan Assimite. The vampires of the West encountered the Assimites long before the Crusaders. Some say that the conquerors who set out for East - Alexanders, for example - were pawns of the Cainites who feared the Assimites. Rumours aside, the Assimites are dreaded for good reason - they seek to better themselves through the practice of diablerie. The Assimites are feared assassins from lands far to the East. No other Clan has earned such a deserved reputation for diablerie, trough they also sell their murderous services to other Kindred, acting as contract killers. some kindred believe that the assimites act at the behest of older powers, perhaps preparing to play their part in the Jyhad's final moves.

The Brujah are the ultimate scholar-warriors, always striving toward perfection of mind and body. The elders of the clan can recall the Golden Age and speak wistfully of last Carthage. Unfortunalety, no wound stings worse than a dream denied. The death of Carthage seems to have only increased their rancor, and the other clans' refusal to move beyond the status quo leaves a bitter taste in their mouths. So they fight. They fight the Ventrue for destroying Carthage, they the lasombra for encouraging the status quo, they fight the Tremere for slaying Saulot - the list seems eternal. The Brujah are nothing if not lovers of a cause. In the modern nights, Brujah are perceived as little more than spoiled children who have no sense of pride or history. One of the mainstays of the Great Anarch Revolt, the Brujah were barely brought to heel by the founders of the Camarilla, and the clan as a whole still resents the elders.

Althuogh technically members of the Camarilla, the Brujah are the sect's firebrands and agitators, testing the Tradition and rebelling in the name of whatever causes they hold dear. Many Brujah are outright anarchs, defying authority and serving no prince.

Clan Cappadocians

Known among Cainites for millennia as the" Clan of Death," the Cappadocians are shunned even by their brethren for their macabre interests. Still, the secretive nature of the clan has caused as many people to fear them as respect them. In vampiric society, Cappadocians often fill the role of advisor to princes. They are respected for their insight and wisdom and largely trusted due to their lack of interests in earthly power. The clan has recently Embraced a small cabal of necromancers in order to further their studies.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reviled perhaps more than any other single clan of Kindred, the Giovanni clan is a family of financiers and necromancers.

Trafficking in the commodity of souls has given tis clan a disproportionate amount of power, while trafficking in world finance has made the clan rich.

Soon after becoming a vampire, the Giovanni clan leader destroyed his sire,

reinventing the clan in his own image.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From time immemorial, the Tzimisce have haunted Europe beyond the Elbe. Along the Oder and Danube Through the Pripet Marshes, amid the Carpathain crags stalk the Fiends, each claiming its lair and wrecking terrible vengeance on intruders. Millennia of defending their holdings from all sides have made Tzimisce extremely vicious, and Tzimisce cruelty is infamous even among vampires. By the modern nights the tzimisce have been uprooted from their Old Country manses and relocated into the cluches of the Sabbat. Clan Tzimisce leads the Sabbat in its rejection of all things human. They practice a" fleshcrafting" discipline that they use to disfigure their foes and sculpt themsleves into beigns of terrible beauty.
