"All right, but I have to make sure that you don't miss your appointment with the devil and it is rude to be late," said his assailant.
"I did not do anything to you. Why are you attacking me?" he retaliated.
The dark figure smiled and raised the stake in his hand and says "Do you remember Samantha, the Salubri you ordered to be destroyed? Well that did not please us. Oh, and by the way, I hope you like a good tan..."
They are not publicly known to the kindred as being part of any sect, but truth is stranger than fiction and their truth is very strange. The Setites claim that they are demons, while in truth they are related! Their founders were brothers in life and for some odd reason they are the hardest kindred to corrupt! The Shadowmasters fight corruption and the Setites spread it. The Setites despise the Shadowmasters and destroy them when possible. The Tremere do not particularly like them either, because it was the Shadowmasters who helped some Salubri survive! These creatures of the night are an enigmatic clan who are the front line in fending of demons, infernalists, and the Wyrm corrupted. They have never really been inquired about their odd behavior but many think it is because of their unknown origin, which no one cares to know. The Camarilla secretly wants the Shadowmasters to join, but they are still feared by many. The Sabbat would like to get one of the extremely rare antitribu to recruit as one of them (preferably into the Black Hand). There are actually more Shadowmasters in the Inconnu than any of the other sects. The Shadowmasters' greatest allies can be very frustrating, because how do you kill what is already dead. . .
"They are great warriors in their own right but are too obsessed with their human beliefs and passions."
Brujah: Their anger has no real focus; some have even gone to the point to rebel against rebelling.
"These guys are creepy pieces of shit, if I had the chance I'd of wasted him."
Gangrel: Some of the most honorable kindred we have ever known were from this clan; we respect them as family.
"They may seem kind, but I have seen one kill someone he just met so I am cautious of his kind."
Malkavian: They have seen the truth and it has destroyed their sanity.
"What do you mean what do I think of them? I am one of them and I am the most powerful mage in the world!"
Nosferatu: They are gossips, but for information they can not be beaten by any.
"I was with that Gangrel when he killed that Ravnos and trust me they are Shadow Demons!"
Ravnos: They are devious liars and steal without remorse; if they had any honor they would join their Gangrel brethren and try to pay for their crimes.
"My bro was killed by these monsters; I agree with the Setites about these assholes!"
Salubri: They are Saluot's children and we must protect them at any cost for they were our saviors!
"The Dark Angels do mean well, but they are too zealous in their offers of protection. But we do love them like brothers and like brothers they are over protective."
Setites: Our brothers are dominated by corruption and evil; we must free them, by purifying them by through words and deeds or by the sun!
"Our brothersssss are victim to some cursssse to ssssssserve the forcssessss that want goodnessss and purity, but we sssssstill try to ssssave them from themselvessssss. Or maybe those damned Sssssalubri have them in sssome sssort of sssspell?"
Toreadors: They appreciate beauty and superficial appearance, for they lack the beauty within.
"The Shadow Warriors make good models for sculptures but other than that they serve no real purpose."
Tremere: These bastards have hunted the Salubri for no reason but jealousy and a hunger for power. We will destroy all who harm the Salubri!
"They would make great bodyguards if they weren't so stubborn and fanatical about the triclops."
Ventrue: The Ventrue are no better than human politicians and lie as much too.
"I once tried to gain presidency over a charity to (ahem) convince them to let me strip mine in a forest full of Lupines, then one of the Shadow Demons bursts in and almost kills me then requests I forget to mine there. Oh well, at least I didn't lose my unlife."
Camarilla: They have the wisdom to stay out of the human eye, but have lost the spirit to fight the corruption of the infernalists.
"They are valuable allies to have against the Sabbat, but can be difficult to control at times."
Sabbat: Servants of corruption, whether they know it or not.
"The Shadow Demons would be a great asset if weren't for Camarilla brainwashing!"
Inconnu: They are powerful and wise but should act more than talk.
"The Dark Angels are too melancholy too live that long; it's a pity for they are descent kindred."
