Swarm of Samael

The Swarm of Samael was a small Baali cult affiliated with the Cainite Heresy.

Overview
The Samaelites believed that the demiurge Ialdabaoth and God were both twin representations of a single being, the great Beast Baal (also called Samael). Actions attract the notions of either head, so by dedicating oneself to traditions like the Via Diabolis, one assured reckognition for the End Times.

The Swarm of Samael, despite using the trappings of the Cainite Heresy, was not regarded as a part of the Crimson Curia. Older Heretics often used Samaelites as smokescreens and lightning rods to diverge attention of themselves to the more easily vilified Baali.
