| Elders of the sect suspect that the Nosferatu antitribu joined the Sabbat less out of hatred for their sires than out of something lurking beneath the clan's own veil of secrecy. Nosferatu of the Sabbat seem to be on the best terms with their Camarilla counterparts of all the clans of the Sword of Caine, but why? As expected, the Nosferatu and their antitribu close ranks when asked about it - the problem is theirs alone. The Nosferatu antitribu are as hideously deformed as their Camarilla counterparts, making their havens in the sewers under their cities, forming clutches and broods and kingdoms of filth. Some Nosferatu antitribu even revel in their hideousness, tormenting Cainite and kine alike with their displays of vileness. In other cases, perhaps because of their disfigurements, Sabbat Nosferatu have become arguably the most humane (but not necessarily human) of the antitribu. Because of this, some ignorant Sabbat consider the Nosferatu antitribu weak or apathetic to the sect - until they step into the sewers and observe the nightmare pits that comprise the Nosferatu's havens. Like most Camarilla Nosferatu, the Nosferatu antitribu maintain extensive networks of information. Many Cainites turn to the Creeps because, "They know everything," or so goes the sentiment. Of course, the Nosferatu antitribu don't deny this, for such seems to be their lot in unlife. After all, one rises (or sinks) to meet her own fate. Nosferatu of the Sabbat form nests of Cainites in the sewers beneath a city, again like their Camarilla counterparts. These subterranean warrens often hide varieties of vermin and other beasts associated with the clan - rats, scuttling insects, feral dogs and cats, and the like. Whether the Sabbat Nosferatu's packmates join them in these dank tunnels or deal with them on less disgusting territory, they know that the monsters who make up the Creeps are just as twisted on the inside as they are on the outside. |

| Roleplaying Hints: Sabbat, Camarilla, whatever. That doesn't matter too much. What's important is knowing what people need you to know because that puts them in your debt. Unlike the other clans, you fear your Antediluvian rather than hating it blindly because the ancient tales of your clan tell that it has loosed a horde of hunters upon you. The more people who owe you favors, the more people upon whom you can call to tell you what they know, the more aware you'll be when the end of the world arrives. And just maybe you'll be able to survive it. |

| Disciplines: Animalism, Obfuscate, Potence |
Advantage: When one is a hideously disfigured monster, one either dies quickly or adapts to her environment. The Nosferatu antitribu are hale Cainites, tough and determined. Every Sabbat Nosferatu gains one free Stealth Ability and one free Survival Ability during character creation.
Weakness: The other side of wretched ugliness, and the most significant, is the toll it takes upon one's social capabilities. No Nosferatu antitribu may ever acquire the Traits Gorgeous, Alluring or Seductive unless they use magical means or a Discipline. Additionally, Nosferatu antitribu suffer the Negative Social Traits Repugnant x 3 when they show their visage, and these Traits may never be removed without some outstanding circumstance. Sabbat Nosferatu may not call for a Social Challenge (except intimidation), though they may defend against them normally.
