VampireTEM

The Caitliff are the clanless, that is in simple terms, their blood is weak and is of such high generation that they show no clan specific abilities, or
traits. Many kindred regard them as no better than mortals, though they are ostracised by both kindred and kine without discrimination.

The Caitliff are generally viewed with a removed and cold pity by the Camarilla, and with sheer disgust by the Sabbat, which leads to them
normally choosing, or being forced to remain Independent. Althought the Sabbat does have a clan within there ranks made up entirly of Caitiff
vampires called the panders.

A Caitliff vampire is normally 14th or 15th Generation, though some are even as high as 17th.

Because a Caitliff's blood is so far removed from that of Caine, he/she will be very different to her elder counterpart. Increasingly, higher
generation Caitliff find that because of their weak blood they are unable to sire childer. They are also physically weak by vampiric standards.

According to vampire scripture, the emergence of the Caitliff is a portent of the arrival of the last days of "Gehenna" . Gehenna you may consider
a vampire's version of The Apocalypse. According to The Book of Nod, come that fateful day of judgment, the third Generation will rise again
and destroy all of their childer for their sin of over-procreation. This would wipe out almost every surviving kindred on the planet. Whether it will
ever actually happen or not is anybody's guess, (many Elder believe it will.)

On the up-side for the Caitliff , they do have some useful advantages over their older peers.

Because they are so young, Caitliff sleep very lightly can sometimes tolerate sunlight- which can help them to survive. However I don't believe
there has yet been an instance of a Caitliff daywalking- such a thing would no doubt be an abomination to any older kindred. Another advantage
is, that Caitiff can basically choose to develop any discipline they like with lots of hard work, or align themselves to any sect who will tolerate
the social stigma of being associated with them. It's not all bad, but it's a certainty that few would choose the life of a social pariah, which is what
Caitliff still tend to be in modern nights.
