Clan Lasombra

7 dot - Patris Noctis: Once reserved for the Lasombra Clan Founder, now the position remains officially vacant. Unofficially, there are some who believe they know who claims it, but such an open statement would be considered unwise. Until the political climate related to Diablerie among the Friends of the Night changes, most Lasombra agree it's best to just assume it's an unfilled position, at least until it calls upon you.
6 dot - Friends of the Night: The Friends of the Night are a self-appointed group that sits at the heart of the Lasombra. They have had many names, depending of the fashionable language of the day, such as the “Brether Nokw,” “Amies Noires,” and the “Amici Noctis,” but their agenda has remained the same. They decide who sits in judgment on the courts of blood, and they share resources among themselves to remain at the top of the heap.
5 dot - Justice of the Blood: To make sure the Clan doesn’t dissolve under the weight of infighting, a court system has been developed to manage most disputes. These “Courts of Blood” do not convene to issue punishment so much as to grant permission. They don’t care who broke the rules, who started what, or who has been unfair to whom. What concerns them is those Lasombra who have proved unworthy of the name, or brought disrespect to the Clan as a whole. This Title is often granted for a single Blood Court, and then stripped afterwards, though there are some Lasombra that so enjoy sitting in judgement over their fellows, that they choose to maintain it.
4 dot - In-City Clan Head - Praetor Noctis: Policing a city's Lasombra comes down to one tenet only: That they have done nothing that would reduce the respect of the Lasombra Clan. Rules are elegant and worthy of following because they are a symbol of recognizable civility, but they are only there to ultimately give flavor to the blood of one's enemies. Self-restraint engages the appetites, after all. In all things up to, but not including the Final Death, the Praetor Noctis is judge and jury for the Clan in-city, unless that tenet is broken. It is then the responsibility of the Nocti to contact the Friends of the Night and call for a Blood Court.
3 dot - Faithful Paragon: A Title granted only to those Lasombra who prove resistant to the powers of Faith displayed by mortal hunters, who have dedicated themselves to faithfulness in certain Christian ideals. As reknowned for their resistances as they are shunned for their oddity and piety. Primarily a Sabbat Title, as many Lasombra Titles are the Faithful is a faction within the Sabbat Lasombra.
3 dot - Corsair Captain: A commander of a Lasombra vessel fitted for piracy. The often legendary Lasombra who hold the title of Captain of a ship full of Corsairs primary duty is to his crew, and to harry the Camarilla on every shore on the black horizon.
2 dot - Senior Abyss Childe: A ranking member of the Abyss' Children faction of the Lasombra, whose duty is to explore and study the primeval darkness of the Abyss itself.
2 dot - Senior Crusader: A leader within the Crusader faction of the Sabbat Lasombra, whose duty is to serve, and to learn how best to crush the Camarilla wherever it dwells and breeds. Decidedly a Sabbat Title, as many Lasombra Titles are.
2 dot - Senior Transhumanist: For some vampires, being at the top of the food chain isn’t enough. Spurred on by Darwin’s theory of natural selection, the Transhumanists seek to improve themselves to transcend the limits of their vampiric condition. A leader within the Transhumanist faction of the Sabbat Lasombra, whose duty is to serve, and to learn how best to crush the Camarilla wherever it dwells and breeds. Decidedly a Sabbat Title, as many Lasombra Titles are.
2 dot - King or Queen of Shadow: A member of the Lasombra that remains on the path of Humanity and still serves the Sabbat, while developing a portfolio of Mortal Influences is often granted this title. The Sabbat Lasombra is expected to turn his mortals to use on behalf of the Sabbat.
2 dot - Corsair 1st Mate: Second in command of a coursair ship, the first mate's duty is to her Captain, to distribute commands to the crew upon her orders and to relieve her Captian of duty should she fall to deeply to her Beast.
2 dot - Senior Fatalist: A leader among the Fatalist faction of Lasombra. The Fatalists firmly believe that all vampires are the playthings of the elders and Antediluvians. The course of your life has been set, will is futile, freedom is an illusion. It is therefore the duty of all Fatalists to seek any lore they can find about the ancient ones that they might find answers or be free of them.
1 dot - Squired Crusader: A member in-training of the Crusader faction of the Sabbat Lasombra, whose duty is to serve, and to learn how best to crush the Camarilla wherever it dwells and breeds. Decidedly a Sabbat Title, as many Lasombra Titles are.
1 dot - Angelus Alter: A title that carries with it a double edged sword. The Black Angels believe they serve God by performing the brutal tasks He cannot risk His own angels to do. Often suspected as worshiping demonic entities, or working with the Bali, many Sabbat do not trust them. Only a member of the Sabbat would ever be considered for such a Title.
0 dot - The Doomed: A negative Title given to those Lasombra who act purely on instinct, reveling in their vampiric nature to an extent even the Sabbat considers ill-advised, making groups like the Fatalists look like they have foresight. Mortal authorities often catch up with these — usually inexperienced — vampires, often on a tip from their elders. In the meantime, no form of excess or debauchery is too much for the Doomed. They drink today for tomorrow they may die, likely at the hands of a very irritated sire.
