Ankaran Sarcophagus

The Ankaran Sarcophagus is an ancient artifact that appears central to the plot of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines. It is believed to hold either an ancient Mesopotamian king or an Antediluvian.

At the conclusion of the game, the Sarcophagus is delivered to Prince Sebastian LaCroix through the efforts of the player character. Unknown to both the player and LaCroix, the contents of the Sarcophagus (apparently an inanimate mummy) had been swapped out for a bomb by Smiling Jack. As LaCroix opened the Sarcophagus, Jack detonated the bomb, destroying the Sarcophagus and LaCroix (and possibly the player character as well, depending on the player's choices in the game).
