The Independent Clans:
The Assamites:
"Each Assamite is a trained killer. They are the assassins and true hunters of the vampire world, and their abilities to disappear have made them the best. As assassins, they will only be hired by Princes, Archons and Justicars and do not stop until their target or the Assamite is dead. Due to a cursed placed on the Tremere, Assamites are incapable of drinking the blood of another vampire. To the Assamite this is poison.A predatory clan of assassins with a penchant for Kindred vitae. Also known as the clan of the Hunt."
Giovanni:
"As much a family as a clan, these insular necromancers are quick to amass wealth and power. Also known as the Clan of Death. They are respectful, genteel & well mannered, affluent beyond imagination. This clan traces its roots back to before renaissance to a family of merchant princes. The clan still maintain its original home in Venice, in a thousand year old loggia just outside the heart of the city. NO other clan makes such a spectacle of humility & prosperity as does this clan & NO other clan hides its blaspemous secrets as well."
Ravnos:
"A clan wickedly reknowned for a wickedly black sense of humour, the ravnos would be that clan. These caininites are deceivers of the 1st order weaving illusion & lies itno elaborate schemes to part the foolish from whatever it is they might fancy...be it wealth, blood, or even their victims freedom like Mephistopheles or Old Scratch, they play their devil's deals with whomever they choose, be it human or kindred & woe to those who wind up unable to pay the hidden cost."
The Setites:
"While not one of the original 13 clans, this bloodline is the most distrusted and disliked clan in the vampire world. Setites are masters of moral, spiritual, and physical corruption. They pride themselves in the amount of chaos they are able to create throught the weaknesses of their targets. This clan has also gained much power through its unusual discipline of Serpentesis , which enhances their abilities as corrupters and serpent worshippers."
