The Setites

The followers of set, are a clan of vampires who believe that their founder was the Egyptian god Set. Setite belief dictates that Set will one day return to rule or consume the world, and devout Setites prepare the way for his resurrection. To this end, the clan remains independent of the sects of other kindred, and practice with great skill the arts of corruption, deceit and ancient sorcery. The Setites see themselves as having a divine mandate to revive their Antediluvian, Set, in order to create an era of "paradise" for vampires and they are willing to work towards this goal in any way possible without drawing attention to themselves. Many kindred, specially those of the Camarilla follow the path of humanity to keep the Beast in check from controlling them,  Setites follow a different path, the path of enlightenment, so other clans mistrust all Setites, after all the Followers of Set are nicknamed Serpents.

Corruption is the name of the game, since the snake in the garden of Eden, Snakes have been associated with the corruption of the pure hearted, and  Setites delight themselves with corrupting Kindred and mortal alike, be that a single person or an entire organization, no one is safe from their corruption. The clans unique discipline is called Serpentis, which borrows elements from their namesake, with this discipline a Setite can entrance with the golden eyes of the snake, or grow into a monstrous Giant black cobra, some Elders achieve a degree of mastery on Serpentis that they can pull their hearts from their chest and hide it in a clay urn, doing so rids the kindred of his emotions since the heart is the seat of all emotions, needless to say if some one finds said heart and stake it the kindred enters into torpor, and if the heart is cast into fire the vampire is destroyed. Ironically even though Setites hail from ancient Egypt their clans weakness is an extreme reaction to bright lights, they are blinded and dazed by it and are disoriented when in presence of heavily illuminated places.
