In the Final Nights, the once mighty Salubri Clan has become barely a bloodline after the destruction of their progenitor, Saulot. Rumored to only be composed of seven vampires at any time, the modern Salubri search for Golconda - enacting a bloody ritual when they achieve that state or despair of ever doing so. They are divided into three branches: the healers, the warriors and the watchers, and each of those branches has their own specific vampiric weakness.


Disciplines: Auspex, Dominate, Fortitude


Bane: 

The Salubri are hunted: Kindred of other clans are especially... appreciative of Salubri vitae. When a non-Salubri partakes of the blood of a Cyclops, they of- ten find it difficult to pull them- selves away. Consuming enough to abate at least one Hunger level requires a Hunger Frenzy test (See Vampire: The Masquerade, p. 220) at a Difficulty 2 + the Salubri’s Bane Severity (difficulty 3 + the Salubri’s Bane Severity for Banu Haqim). If the test fails, they just keep consuming, to the point that they may have to be physically fought off.

Additionally, the third eye that Saulot opened while on one of his many journeys passes down through the bloodline every time a Salubri Embraces. This third eye is not always recognizably human in origin, and rumors persist of vertical, serpentine pupils, or even worm- like eyespots. While this third eye can be physically covered, such as with a headscarf or hood, it is always present, and no supernatural power can obscure it. Any time a Salubri activates a Discipline power, the third eye weeps vitae, its intensity correlating to the level of the Discipline being used, from welling up to a torrential flow. The blood flow from the third eye triggers a Hunger Frenzy test from nearby vampires with Hunger 4 or more. 

Compulsion:

 AFFECTIVE EMPATHY
When a Salubri suffers a Compulsion, the Kindred becomes overwhelmed with empathy for a personal problem that afflicts someone in the scene, seeking to further its resolution. The scale of the personal problem isn’t important; the Salubri understands that sometimes suffering is part of a cumulative situation and not an isolated stimulus. Any action not taken toward mitigating that personal tragedy incurs a two- dice penalty. The Compulsion persists until the sufferer’s burden is eased or a more immediate crisis supersedes it, or the end of the scene.
