The Black Hand

"The Black Hand is a sect within a sect, an  elite group of vampires recognized as

separate from all other Sabbat. The Black  Hand (or simply The Hand) is not truly a

separate body, however, since all its members are loyal to the Sabbat over all

else.

The Black Hand is composed primarily of Assamite Antitribu, as well as many of the

more militant vampires from other clans. The members of the Hand do not exist in

packs of their own. Rather, they are members of normal Sabbat packs. While

most Black Hand vampires are tough, their irate packmates quickly put them in their

place if they overstep themselves.

The Black Hand is a special militia which the leaders of the Sabbat can muster in times of

need. All Hand members are quite skilled in the ways of war. The members of the Black

Hand themselves select the Sabbat vampires who are to be offered a chance to join the

Hand. The Black Hand puts all candidates through a rigorous series of trials which test

cunning, will power, physical prowess and martial skills. Those who pass the trials are

inducted into the Black Hand. The new member receives detailed instruction in the

order's ways, and he must come when the Hand calls him to action.

A council of four powerful vampires rules the Black Hand. These four, known as the

Seraphim, act as generals for the order, serving the Regent directly." The Cardinal

of  War will at all times serve as the highest ranking member of the Seraphim, with three

others of his choosing to serve as his advisors

and fellow Seraphim.
