In Vampire: the Masquerade, the players assume the role of vampires , immortal beings cursed with an unquenchable thirst for blood and vulnerability to sunlight — creatures forever bound to their inner Beast the animal urges of hunger, fear and rage.
It is a game of personal horror, as the characters are continually forced to walk a moral tightrope between their need to survive and the horrific means by which they ensure it. Vampires are one of the three main supernatural races in the World of Darkness and the fundamental characters of Vampire: The Masquerade and its spinoff games like Vampire: The Dark Ages and Kindred of the East.

For example, a Brujah may belong to the Camarilla , the Sabbat , or the Anarchs , but very few Tremere would be found among the Sabbat and even more rarely among the Anarchs. Some clans and most of the minor bloodlines declare themselves independent from any sects. In addition, the Laibon , known as the Kindred of the Ebony Kingdom by Western Vampires, are not so much a sect as a cultural group bound together loosely by a powerful spiritual bond to the land and the people of Africa.
