Path of Uriel

By Fabian Alvarez (maldoror@eucmax.sim.ucm.es) for the D'Angelo bloodline.

Nickname

Urielites, Pharises.

Basic Beliefs

The Followers of this Path are the most pious, faithful and inhumane of the D'Angelo. For the Urielites, becoming a vampire and retaining your Faith are signs of a blessing, not a curse. Angeldom is their goal, and Blood Faith is their way. All humans can become angels, but most lost the way; the Urielites believe that they follow the right road, the road that will lead them to Heaven. Sadly, many Urielites are as inhumane, cruel and callous as only angels can be...

Ethics

• You are one of the Chosen, of the Holy Ones.
• Pray to the Lord each night.
• Only other Urielites are your peers.
• The Lord doesn't make mistakes: you are one of His Holy Children.
• Give each one what each one is worthy of.
• Tame your Beast.
• Tame your Man.
• Do always the right thing.
• Be the hand of the divine justice.

History

This Path lies at the heart of the Urielite philosophy and was developed by Benedictus in the early years of the bloodline. Many D'Angelo believe that the Archangel Uriel taught the Path to the first childe of Adriano.

Current Practices

Urielites are very secretive, and usually conduct their rites in lonely chapels. In fact, most non-Urielites are not even aware of the existence of this Path.
