An alastor is a Kindred agent of the Camarilla who has been charged with hunting down the Anathema: vampires who have been added to the Camarilla's Red List and targeted for destruction by the entire sect. A Red Alastor is an alastor who has actually succeeded in destroying one of the five most wanted Anathema. Most alastors are recruited out of the ranks of archons. A non-alastor who somehow manages to destroy one of the Anathema will almost inevitably be press-ganged into service as an alastor. While the archons answer directly to the Justicars, the alastors answer only to the Camarilla's Inner Circle. Any Kindred (even an alastor) who commits diablerie upon an Anathema takes the victim's place on the Red List.
The destruction of an Anathema is rewarded by a prize known as the Trophy, the specifics of which can vary depending on which clan posted the Anathema to the Red List; major clan boons, teaching of proprietary disciplines and even sanctioned diablerie are all possible. Similar to members of the Black Hand, alastors have a mystical tattoo placed on their right palm to establish their bonafides to senior Camarilla members.
