The
Assamite are a
fictional clan of
vampires, from
White Wolf's
Vampire: The Masquerade books and
role-playing games. Unlike most vampires, the Assamite are associated with neither the
Camarilla nor the
Sabbat; much of the Assamite
symbology is
Arabic, in
origin. White Wolf states, "Assamites kill other [
vampires] without
provocation. [They] are known...as a clan of
murderous assassins." (
VtM3 -- p.90) Even when compared to other vampires, the Assamite appear
addicted to
blood.
