The Followers of Set

Followers of Set Clan Titles

7 dot - Grand Hierophant - Ironically because of the cell-like nature of Setite Temples, most Setites don't know who the Grand Hierophant is at any given time. The Prime Temple of the Followers of Set in Egypt has been destroyed and rebuilt so many times over the centuries by zealous Ventrue Knights and Tal mahe' Ra Templars convinced Setites are demon-worshipers, or vengeful desert werewolves seeking to take back their homeland, that the temple's existance is shrouded in ruins and layers of mystery.
6 dot - Khadive of Sands - The Khadive's role is a primarily political one, since everyone in every other Clan assumes that the Setites are based primarily out of Egypt. This Title is much closer to 'ambassador' or 'special envoy' than an actual leadership position, but it is an important one. Sometimes when higherarchical clans like the Tremere and Ventrue come together to 'deal with the Setite problem' it is far easier to point them to a figurehead than to explain how decentralized cells of Setites are far easier to purge in a witch-hunt. The goal of the Khadive is to prevent such a purge, usually with bribes.
5 dot - Aon's Chosen - It is said that every now and again one of the Aeons chooses to inhabit a devout Follower of Set to go about it's unholy deeds personally. This Title hasn't been granted for centuries, and the consequences of such a thing would have far-reaching religious consequences for the Followers should it occur again. The general feeling that is had about this duty is that if one were to claim to be inhabited by an Aon and it wasn't true, they risk that Aeon's ultimately horrific disfavor.
4 dot - In-City Clan Head - Hierophant: The Hierophant is the leader of a Temple, and a Temple is the de-facto name given to any allied group of Setites. Since Followers of Set have multiple castes and may serve any number of Gods beneath Sutekh, often, the Hierophant's duty is simply to hold regular prayer meetings and suggest a focus for future meetings and activities. For a Hierophant with a vison, however, this is often not enough. Many Hierophants ultimately yearn for a method of veneration of Sutekh that rivals the very Pyramids at Giza, but such a vision takes time and draws enemies. At the very least, the Hierophant must be that one that puts together a temple's Blasphemy Shrine, or oversees it's creation, if a more sorcerous Setite is willing to perform the rite. The existence of a Blasphemy Shrine is the central focus of the Setite religion, and a temple just isn't a temple without one. Aside from that, a Hierophant must develop his temple, and those within it as well.
3 dot - Purifier: Mortals are the backbone of any good Follower temple. They are it's slaves, it's worshipers, it's very life's blood. A wise hierophant knows that only those Setites who are masters at corrupting mortals toward their vices are capable of calling the appropriate chosen to serve their gods. The purifier's duty is tantamount to maintaining a Temple's power in a city, through Herd, Influence and control over the most deeply initiated mortals.
2 dot - Divine Scribe: The knowledge of the Aeons is shrouded in the mists of time and hidden by the shadows of fallen empires. When a city's Hierophant dedicates a Follower to transcribing the ancient texts, faded papyrus and crumbling tablets, it requires a studious mind, and a deep commitment to Sutekh. A scribe must collect, translate and protect all of the hidden teachings of the Aons.
1 dot - Prophet: To be fair, every Setite claims to feel the hands of the Aons slithering inside them, but it takes a special kind of crazy to admit that out loud to the members of outside Sects, such as the Camarilla, Anarchs or Sabbat. Still, open recruitment is seen by some as more 'honest' than sly manipulation and deciet, and every con-artist knows that a good distraction can be worth it's weight in stolen Roman gold. No real prophesy comes to most with this title, but plenty of attention does. It's the duty of a Prophet to actively recruit from outside of the Setite Clan.
