General information:]The Sabbat is a loose sect of vampires that believes Cainites should accept their vampiric nature and subjugate humanity as the inferior species. Also known as the Sword of Caine, the sect has the stated goal of destroying the Antediluvians, who they believe are the masterminds behind the Camarilla and the Jyhad. (Antediluvians are the founders of the thirteen vampire clans.)
The Sabbat is at best ironic, at worst dangerously hypocritical. It is composed of both the oldest and the youngest vampires in the world, who rejoice in their damnation while fearing for their souls, and fight against the Antediluvians, the elders, and their own pack members.
The Sabbat is represented most appropriately by its most common and fervent follower: the pack member. It's such a pity, then, that there is no one archetypal pack member to be found anywhere in the Sabbat's ranks. Whatever one pack member chooses to believe in, there is another who postulates the exact opposite. Whatever style of appearance one pack member adopts, there is another who dresses provocatively in opposing fashion. For each new shovelhead brought into the fold, there is an elder shepherding him towards a grisly doom.The Sabbat is a loose sect of vampires that believes Cainites should accept their vampiric nature and subjugate humanity as the inferior species.

Core clans within the Sabbat:

Lasombra

Tzimisce


Almost every other Clan in the World of Darkness has a presence in the Sabbat to a greater or lesser extent, including the Ventrue and Toreador. These splinter groups are known as "antitribu", because they have turned their backs on their parent Clans' sects and joined opposing ones. Note that Lasombra and Tzimisce antitribu may join the Camarilla or even the Inconnu, though these are much, MUCH rarer than antitribu of other Clans. The Lasombra antitribu are hunted down relentlessly by the Clan, and among their number is the Methuselah Montano.

The Antitribu
Assamite antitribu
Brujah antitribu
Gangrel antitribuTechnically speaking, there are no Gangrel antitribu, since the Gangrel as a Clan ascribe to no sect or political entity. Practically, the Gangrel who belong to the Sabbat are regarded as traitors by the Camarilla, and held in some suspicion by the Sabbat. The Gangrel regard themselves as Gangrel: they are the hunters, the takers of prey, and the survivors. If the best way to fulfill that role is to join the Sabbat, so be it.
The City Gangrel are an offshoot of the main Clan that belongs almost entirely among the Sabbat. They have a rivalry with the "Country" Gangrel, especially since the latter have been joining the Sabbat in greater numbers since 1999, moving in on what the City Gangrel see as their territory. If the night comes when the City Gangrel believe themselves to be backed into a corner, the results will be similar to any other threatened rabid animal.
Malkavian antitribuThe Camarilla Malkavians are bad. The Malkavian antitribu are even worse.The only difference between Camarilla Malkvaians and the Sabbat ones, are Sabbat ones get an extra form of dementation. Their clan abilities change to; Auspex, Dementation, Obfuscate.
Nosferatu antitribuThere is almost no noticeable difference between the Camarilla Nosferatu and the Sabbat Nosferatu - excepting perhaps that the Sabbat Nosferatu look kinder and gentler by comparison to the rest of the sect.
Panders So named for their charismatic leader, Joseph Panders, the Caitiff of the Sabbat are united only by the fact that the rest of the sect doesn't particularly like them very much. This in no way prevents bishops and war leaders from collecting the Panders and using them as cannon fodder, however. Far from being insulted by this role, the Panders as a group are very interested in the chance to prove themselves as a "Clan" and stake their claim in the Sabbat hierarchy.
Ravnos antitribu
Salubri antitribu
Serpents of the Light
Toreador antitribu
Tremere antitribuIf any Tremere antitribu survive, they do so only as the most paranoid and isolationist Cainites in the world
Ventrue antitribuThe Ventrue antitribu are now what the Brujah Clan was in ages past: scholar-knights, warrior-poets, possibly even a witch-king or two. The antitribu Blue Bloods uphold the feudal mindset, establishing themselves as holy crusaders setting out to dismantle the corrupt and stagnant Camarilla as managed by their Ventrue counterparts. In this capacity, many Ventrue antitribu serve as paladins and templars, inquisitors, and chiefs of War Parties. They value mental and social achievements as well as the physical, so Ventrue antitribu can be found in any walk of unlife among the Sabbat.
