Lasombra

Nickname: Keepers The Lasombra is the Sabbat clan of leadership. The members of this clan tend to be the most loyal and aggressive vampires in the sect. Their success in destroying the clan's non-Sabbat members gives them an additional level of prestige. The Lasombra are loyal to the Sabbat, but they also believe it is their right and responsibility to be the strongest leaders of the sect. The Lasombra are just as concerned about freedom as the other clans of the Sabbat, but they view the means of holding onto that freedom a little differently. They emphasize the control of mortal political, religious and financial institutions as a way of defending the Sabbat from threats. The Lasombra maintain the largest number of retainers of any clan in the Sabbat. They maintain agents in many positions of power and have implanted spies throughout the world. These agents are loyal to the Sabbat, but they answer directly to the Lasombra. After all, the Lasombra consider what is good for their clan to be good for the sect. To them, the Fall was both a great black eye and a great feather in their cap -- the mortals once again know to fear the night, but their fear is ceilinged by their bizarre new personal technologies. Further, the awakening of Baba Yaga and the all-out warfare which ensued in Russia (and the following Jyhad in the Middle East and Africa) did not bode well for the cause of the Sabbat. The Lasombra, however, endure as always -- their lower ranks have been continually 'upgrading' to those able to most easily interface with the Corporate world. Sect: Sabbat Disciplines: Dominate, Obtenebration, Potence Weakness: Lasombra cannot be seen in mirrors, nor can they appear in photographs or on film. This allows them to bypass security cameras and the like, but makes it relatively easy to detect them as vampires. Book Reference: PGS page 61
