"These rotting mounds are dangerous enemies, but most valuable allies. They should all be recruited ... or destroyed." - Jefferson Foster, Sabbat bishop.

The Samedi are vampires of especially unwholesome ilk, and dreadful to look upon. Their bodies resemble corpses, and those who see them sometimes mistake them for zombies or other revenant horrors.

Thought to have originated in the Caribbean, the Samedi have strong ties to the region´s voodoo legacies. They practice a unique Discipline that allows them to manipulate the energies of death, albeit in a much more temporal manner than Giovanni Necromacy. Indeed, the Giovanni have very little good to say about the Samedi, and the enmity between these Kindred runs deep.

Samedi often involve themselves with occult or illegal activities in a city, becoming powerful houngans and mambos or trafficking with superstitious immigrant criminal elements. Given their apparent voodoo roots, the Samedi seem content to garner influence in immigrant ghettoes, practicing their dark magic and preying upon a populace used to the dead walking among them.
