Revision as of 00:49, 12 May 2014
Numerous members of the Baali have assumed the title of Shaitan, the semi-official leader of the Baali, over the centuries.
Varying accords presented in Chaos Factor and the Dark Ages Companion claim Shaitan to be the founder of the Baali Clan, embraced as a childe of Ashur, however, the details vary a great deal (Chaos Factor states that Shaitan consorted with Children of Lilith and learned esoteric knowledge from the East and was the Second Childe of Ashur; while Dark Ages Companion states that he was the first childe of Ashur and consorted with demons out of jealousy against his sire and grandsire). In Clanbook Baali, it was stated that Shaitan was the title used for the unknown vampire who created the first three Baali. Later, a member of the line assumed the name to unite the Bloodline under his command. Following this event, numerous Baali have risen and fallen, each claiming to be the returned Shaitan (complete with a new origin story, which makes it even more difficult to separate myths from truths).
The exact nature of Shaitan remains murky, mainly because other vampires are more concerned with destroying Baali infestations than spending time to decipher their mad, often contradicting, myths.
