The Path of Evil Revelations



"Serve the proper masters, and they will liberate you from your unwanted shackles."
~Saul Joram, Sabbat priest and infernalist


Nicknames: Corrupters, Slaves
Basic Beliefs: Vampires are merely one expression of supernatural evil in the world. Although vampires are creatures of great power and depravity, they pale in comparison to the truly ancient beings that reside in Hell beyond the realms of the dead. This then, is the credo of the Corrupters: All vampires are but pawns to acknowledge the supremacy of these infernal masters. Some vampires revel in their evil natures and spread their vile ways, but the Corrupters, are the creatures formed of the spiritual essence of malevolence, the demons that enslave and devour human souls.

To follow the Path of Evil Revelations, a vampire must believe in the vamire's role as a servant of greater evil, as well a in the place of demons and infernal entities as greater harbingers or more infernal "patrons," spreading the specific rand of vitriol espoused by their demonic lords. The vampires claim to be given great powers and a place in the infernal hierarchy, in exchange for absolute servitude and the sacrifice of their own souls (and the souls of their victims). With such enticements, the Corrupter spreads his own brand of poison among his associates, seeking to turn other vampires to his cause eventually so that they may take their rightful (and subordinate) places in the hierarchy of Hell.

Because the followers of the Path of Evil Revelations give themselves over to various demonic lords, they paradoxically control themselves by serving the interests of their patrons. Obviously, other vampires hate and fear the Corrupters; the Camarilla considers infernalists a threat to security and the Masquerade, while the Sabbat loathes anone who would willingly enslave himself to some greater unseen power, whether archdemon or Antediluvian.

Followers of more rigid codes of ethics find Corrupters affected and laughable. Why make such ostentatious shows of adolescent and shallow "evil"?


Ethics of the Path

~ You are the servant of greater evil powers. Serve well, and you will be elevated in position.
~ You must convince other vampires of the rightness of your cause. Use duplicity and prey upon their weaknesses.
~ Fight against vampires who would strive for some semblance of honor or goodness. They are misguided.
~ Never reveal your true motives. Others cannot work against you if they do not know the end toward which you work.
~ It is acceptable to engage in intrigues with the servants of other demons, but your loyalty to your lord - and to his other retainers - must be absolute.
~ Use the beast as a tool to spread your evil.
