The Salubri Clan (a WIP)

Welcome to the Salubri Clan

 

[Erina_Nobara]

A Clan Overview
~~~
In the Final Nights, the once mighty Salubri Clan is considered barely a bloodline after the diablerie of their progenitor, Saulot. Their general few numbers grant credibility to the rumors that they are only composed of seven vampires at any time, and that these modern Salubri are fully committed to the search for Golconda – enacting a bloody ritual when they achieve that state or despair of ever doing so. They are divided into three branches: the Healers, the Warriors and the Watchers, and each of those branches has their own specific vampiric weakness.

Their History
~~~
The Salubri are the childer of Saulot, most beloved of Caine and the healer of the Kindred. Saulot was a mystic uncomfortable with his awakened Beast and constantly questing to squelch it. In the interests of furthering this quest, and to tame the pains of the living and dead, Saulot Embraced the wise and the gentle to tend the pains of Caine and Seth's get. These childer, the Salubri, were revered as healers and peacemakers, unusually selfless for creatures more often defined by their greed.

Sometime in the era of the Second City, Saulot despaired of conquering his beast and fled to the unknown East to study under Hindu gurus and the Great Arhat Xue.When he returned, he bore a third eye and new insight into the vampiric condition; his beast was quieted and he described his new condition as being in Golconda, named for the town where he finally achieved inner peace. The clan, revitalized by their ancestor's return, embraced the new discipline of Valeren (Healer Path) and enhanced their abilities. It was at this time, with the adoption of Valeren, that the third eye became the mark of all Salubri, originally a sign of enlightenment, it eventually became a target.

The Salubri were always rare. Saulot himself entered Torpor sometime around the 1st century and only rarely resurfaced. Each caste was focused on its own particular purpose – hunting down demons or teaching Golconda, and given that the Salubri on the whole were not fond of being vampires, they did not embrace many childer. Those that were were usually exceptional in some fashion.

All of this changed in 1133, when the mage Tremere found and diablerized Saulot. The act, unheard of, was a desperate attempt by the new clan Tremere to acquire legitimacy by acquiring an Antediluvian of their own, but it nearly backfired. The Tremere, by committing the ultimate crime on the closest thing the damned had to a saint, only cemented their reputation as usurpers. The Tremere responded with a vicious propaganda campaign and cheap magic - the Salubri were never entirely trusted anyway, the price of being too nice. And now with the Tremere offering real magical power and less pangs of conscience, certain clans were too willing to believe that maybe that whole soul-sucking thing was a bit more true than they originally thought.

Current Members

Disciple:
Callum, owned by Erina_Nobara

Long ago, Callum, an acquaintance of Saulot, had been living his unlife and reached golconda. He was horrified when the other vampire had been diablorized. He went into hiding and had been very particular about who he embraced. Eventually he had carefully chosen a girl named Zeresh. But afterwards on one of his excursions he was attacked. Injured, he returned to the manor and entered torpor. He only meant to sleep maybe 20 years at most but ended up sleeping more like 200+. Whoops. Zeresh dutifully took care of him and their home until he awakened. More recently Callum could feel the power shift from Caine to Grendel. And he was sought after by Grendel himself to become his disciple. He agreed and has since gained quite a bit of power. Now he's trying to figure out how to fit into modern day society. Though he doesn't look like an old man, he certainly is one and is clueless as to how some 'newfangled' machines work. Back in the day, before he was injured, he and Zeresh had a thing, and even a few kiddos. But since his awakening from Torpor, he realized Zeresh has moved on. She still loves him and all, but she realized it would never really work out. He would only be a really close friend. Currently those kids are out and about. Maybe they will return to the manor one day? Who knows?
