Other Clans and Beings Politics

Here are what the other clans and beings feel about the three major sects.
Assamite
Camarilla : A very useful group of employers, but for our clan to join would be the height of stupidity. We gain far more acting outside its laws than we would within.
When you hear these dogs have entered our city, beware! When you discover who there victim is, do nothing to interfere. It is never worth it to draw their wrath.
Sabbat : Useless childer. They kill for no reason and with no grace. What good is a murder if it takes the deaths of 20 of your brothers and sisters? It takes 100 of them to do what one of us can do.
Pretentious fools, they do our job for us. Who cares if they only kill at others' command? In the end more of the elders are extinguished.
Inconnu : These elders are the greatest challenges of all. If any fool requests that you kill a member of this anciant group, send them to the mountaintop.
They are murderous barbarians who care not what they destroy. They still seek our blood dispite their oaths. All there murders are the results of their twisted understanding of Golconda.

Daughters of Cacophony
Camarilla : This sect supports the arts, at least to some extent, however very few of its membersunderstand the true depths of what we do.
These villainesses are not as harmless as they would have us believe. They take great delight in using their wondrous talents as weapons against us.
Sabbat : The Sabbat has given a number of true artists the freedom they need to explore new areas of beauty, but even it does not grasp exactly what it is we do. Maybe the use of our powers on its members will enlighten them.
I don't care much for their songs, but there is no denying that they have opened whole new realms of vampiric expresion.
Inconnu : They either apreciate our talents more than most, or fear us more than most, for they watch us intently. Whatever the reason, we seem to be drawing an undue amount of attention from these old coots.
I believe the Daughters of Cacophony were created for the worst of purposes. They strike me as little more than another tool of the Antideluvians to prepare the way for Gehenna, spreading discord and madness in their wake.

Followers of Set (Setites)
Camarilla : A group of arogentfools who think they can use us when in truth it is we who use them. The Toreador, with their vain artistic pretensions and degenerate tastes, are a special favorite. The Tremere and Ventrue clans' love of power often leads them to us. The others all have their various weaknesses that make them easy prey.
Dealing with the Followers of Set is, in effect dealing with the Devil. Yes, they have their uses, but then so does an atomic bomb. Like said a-bomb, the Setites should be handled with extreme care and caution.
Sabbat : They belong to us already, they just don't know it yet. The darkness is strong in them, but they love it in a differant way than we do.
Damned snakes! The Camarilla is too weak and contenttious to realize what a threat these bastards really are. You don't use a snake. You kill it befor it kills you!
Inconnu : Let sleeping fools lie. They think they're safe, but what they don't realize is that the darkness is everywhere. Like everyone else, they have their weaknesses. Even they cannot escape us.
They are arrogant just like their founder, they can and will be brought down. It is just a matter of time. Until then, we must do what we can to counter them.

Gaki
Camarilla, Sabbat, Inconnu : It is unknown whether or not these vampires (if vampires they truely be) know of the other sects. If they do they do not seem to concerned with them either way.
Rumors abound of strange vampires who live in the Far East. I don't know which of these rumors are ture and which are not, but if they are to be believed they are to be feared. It is possible that the Antideluvians have moved east in an attempt to hide and prepare for Gehenna.

Giovanni
Camarilla : These suspicious busybodies are always putting their noses where they do not belong. If they truely wanted to know what we are doing, then they would kill themselves.
I have traced their corporate monies and found them to have a hand in almost everything that exists. They are planning something, exactly what is the only question.
Sabbat : They have come closer than anyone else to grasping the Truth, but having stopped short they will have a harder time reaching it than anyone else. They can be safely ignored.
A coven of old businessmen scurrying around the sewers? And you expect me to fear them?
Inconnu : They watch us constantly but understand nothing. If they did, they would not let us continue, for we will be the end of them.
Nothing has confused me more than the existance of the Giovanni. How can I accept that some of the Earth's most ambitious businessmen have given up their lust for power to study dead bodies in graveyards?

Ravnos
Camarilla : They died once and seem intent on dying again. They live unlives of quiet desperation, doing nothing and voluntarily jailing themselves in their cities.
These craven jackals lie and steal as though they have never heard of honor. Should another ever come to my city, I will declare a Blood Hunt at once on all their kind.
Sabbat : Humorless brutes. They kill for no reason and have even less of an appreciation for comedy than do the stone-faces of the Camarilla.
These clowns may seem to be the least of our troubles, but do not underestimate them. With their control of illusions, there is little they cannot seem to do. Were they to turn against us in large numbers, we would have a most unwelcome and painful fight on our hands.
Inconnu : As boring as these musty old fogies may seem, they are really the only ones who seem to understand what we do. They are never what they seem.
The neonates are amusing little childer, but beware the elders. They use their tricks to cover somethingfar deeper.

Salubri
Camarilla : These pitiful pawns of the Tremere have no idea of the harm they are doing the world and themselves. They want to livelives of evil but have given no thought to what that really means.
These soul suckers enjoy nothing more than tricking us into believing they mean no harm. Those who would believe them are lost, for they want nothing more than our very souls for their own twisted pleasure.
Sabbat : These murderers are more traditional evil than are the members of the Camarilla, but this makes them neither better nor worse. They are blind, and in their blindness they destroy things of great value - their souls.
These quacks are not healers. The one time we might actually want to help the Camarilla is in snuffing out this scourge from the planet.
Inconnu : Many of these powerful elders know the truth about us and are willing to help us. This is not true for all, but it seems to be true for most.
We kept an eye on the Tremere when it first began and know what crime its founders committed. Our sorrow is that we did not act then. Now we can but act and protect the children of my friend Saulot.

Samedi
Camarilla : They fear us, and their fear is so sweet. They can have their princes, and I'll even follow their laws, but for them, every second around me is a horror even to their most bestial members.
I say these wretched, shambling animations' very existance violates the Masquerade, but eliminating them is an action which I do not care to partake. Maybe they will end their own grotesque existances.
Sabbat : I'd sooner be dinner for an Antideluvian than face a pack of these bastards. At least the Antideluvian would be more honest about what he wants from you.
These rotting mounds are dangerous enemies, but most valuable allies. They should all be recruited...or destroyed.
Inconnu : Tolerable lot. Keep to themselves for the most part, and I can respect that. Someday I might even try to talk to one, see what they're all about. Someday when I no longer want to exist that is...
My research has not revealed much, but what I have learned frightens me. I fear that they are not just a subspecies of the Nosferatu or Giovanni, but an unwholesome amalgamation of all that is most despicable in the undead.


Ok, there is a giant footnote. All of the information above, save the Gaki politics, is taken directly from White Wolf's "The Vampire Players Guide"®. It would have been silly to put quotes around everything.
