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.
