| Attitudes Toward Others |
| Camarilla | The Assamites hold the clans of the Camarilla in widespread contempt. Beside the fact that Kindred of all persuasions are regarded as the enemy, the Camarilla inspires particular scorn for it's constant internal strife and for the fact that it did not wipe out the Assamites when it had the chance. The rafiq would not have been so merciful had positions been reversed... |
| Brujah | Their love of fighting is their weakness, and has served us well in the past. They are fools, but useful fools. Take care, though, when you must end one of the Brujah, for they fight like lions. |
| Caitiff | These are the lowest of the munafiqun: abandoned bastard children, mongrels of no lineage. They are often ignorant, and this can make them willing pawns. |
| Gangrel | Their closeness to animals is an unclean thing ~~ and they are dangerous for all their protestations of innocence. They are scattered across the Earth, apart from one another, and this keeps them from being dangerous. |
| Malkavian | Truly it is written that it is blessed to show mercy and compassion to one whose mind is broken, just as the righteous would not harm the blind or the lame. Yet charity comes hard to one who has suffered their tricks. Few others could pull our beards as they do and live to boast of it. |
| The Assamite attitude to the Malkavians is full of contradictions. Their attitude and moral values inspire the most searing contempt, but at the same time many of the rafiq have been raised according to Islamic values, which hold that a lunatic must be treated with kindness and charity. Older Assamites, in particular, are inclined to treat Malkavians with more indulgence than many think they deserve, and non-fatal pranks against Assamites are overlooked far more frequently than anyone would expect. |
| Nosferatu | Do not despise the ugly ones, for they are worthy opponents. They know the value of brotherhood, and their skills are almost as great as our own. Whenever you see nothing, remember that you may be looking at a Nosferatu. Still, they serve the princes, and deserve neither trust nor mercy. |
| Toreador | Of all the munafiqun, these wastrels are surely the most worthless. They are weak with vanity and pride; little glory comes from ending these wretches. |
| Tremere | Hate these witches as you would the scorpion, for they are the worst of our enemies. They owe us a great vengeance for the Curse which taints our blood, and that vengeance will be a hard one. Their sorcery is strong, and their weaknesses are few. While they exist, we are forever in danger. |
| The Tremere are one of the few Camarilla clans not to inspire contempt in the Assamites; instead, they are regarded with unremitting hatred. The seven elders of the clan are exempt from the tradition that no second attempt will be made to assassinate one who has defeated an Assamite assassin; several carefully planned attacks have been mounted against the Chantry of Vienna ~~ so far without success. |
| Ventrue | These are surely the greatest fools of the munafiqun. Their hunger for power lets us use them as we will, and they will pay us into the bargain, thinking that it is they who are using us. They are the weakness by which the Camarilla shall be destroyed. |
| The Ventrue would no doubt be dismayed to learn that they do not rank highly on the Assamites' list of enemies. They are regarded as good customers, though, and are favourite pawns, since they are so easily manipulated by appealing to their ambition. |
| Sabbat | The Sabbat is viewed with more caution and less contempt than the Camarilla, because it is less prone to internal dissension (or at least, less willing to allow internal dissension to harm it's goals), and because the majority of it's members are dangerous and wary opponents. The Assamite antitribu are an important point of contace with the Sabbat, and the clan has been known to work with the Sabbat in order to weaken Camarilla power in an area. For the most part, though, the clan intends that the Camarilla and the Sabbat should carry on weakening each other until the Assamites can destroy them both. |
| Lasombra | If the Ventrue were more like these, we should have greater fear of the Camarilla ~~ or more likely, we should all have perished rather than merely being Cursed. Their weakness is the same, for they love power more than blood itself. Beware of them, though, for they are wary and not easily used. |
| Tzimisce | These ones are useful since they often thwart the Lasombra, but only the most wary rafiq may use them as pawns, for they are wise and alert, and their sorcery almost rivals that of the accursed Tremere. Some say they are no more than Tremere in the clothes of the Sabbat. Tread carefully among them. |
| Sabbat Antitribu | These are mainly rabble, whose only distinction is that they eschew the kufr beliefs of the Camarilla. They are still fools, though more dangerous fools. |
| Setites | These are the most unclean of the munafiqun, and they are as hateful to the world as their plagues and poisons. Crush them underfoot whenever you discover them, even though no blood may be yours for the deed. |
| Giovanni | Their doors are as closed to us as to others, and they almost never require our services. They do not appear dangerous, so absorbed are they in their own doings, but their necromancy is not to be trusted. Watch them ~~ for who will say they may not advance their knowledge of death so that the tajdid may benefit, or the balance of power within the kafir be disturbed? |
| Ravnos | Liars and thieves, even among themselves ~~ these are surely the most contemptible of all. There is no honour in any dealing with them, even if it be their ending. |
