The Assamite hail from the furthest reaches of Saudia Arabia and Africa and like many of the Eastern clans is very different to those of the
Camarilla and Sabbat. They are assassins for hire but their fee is not a low one. The Assamite prefer to take their payment in blood, the blood of
other kindred.

The act of Diablerie, that is the act of one kindred draining another is the mainstay of the Assamite way of life. An Assamite values this above all
other things as he believes it will bring him closer to his creator. It is true that by committing this act a kindred can "jump" generations and gain
power, but generally Diablerie is looked upon as cannibalism and is a distasteful subject amongst most other clans. A few years ago the
Assamite were cursed by the Tremere at the behest of the Camarilla as a whole. The curse means that now Assamite were physically unable to
partake of kindred blood. it goes without saying that this angered the clan, and many attempted to dodge the curse by hiding or allying with the
Sabbat. Recently the clan claims that it has broken the curse and has resumed its cannibalistic ways. Not only has this circumvention been made,
but also the Assamite are no longer forced to tithe a percentage of their payment to their sire, the reasons for this are unknown. The clan is
generally feared for it's outlandish and barbaric practices as much as it is respected for it's military prowess. Mostly they are hired by the Sabbat
for their own purposes. The Camarilla seldom involve themselves with the Assamite, and if they must it is all usually kept taboo.
