Banu Haqim
The Banu Haqim, or the Assamites, are the judges of the kindred world. They are the childen of Haqim, their Antediluvian founder they revere and whose code they follow. Or so they did. They have a long history as hired blades centered around the Middle East, lending their services to their Western cousins and being fervent hunters of infernalism. Their clan culture revolves around the teachings of Haqim, with one of his most important and controversial precepts being the diablerie of those kindred who they believe to be undeserving of their blood, thus returning their blood to Caine. With the founding of the Camarilla, Clan Tremere cursed the entirety of the Banu Haqim, save for their Sabbat Antitribu, to be unable to commit diablerie.
