The text provides a brief history of the Brujah clan from its origins in Enoch to the present day and mentions several notable Brujah like Dark Selina and Smiling Jack. It also cites various source materials for Vampire: The Masquerade.

The text describes the Brujah clan originating in the first human city of Enoch under Caine and being founded by Troile the Elder, who was a philosopher. It states the clan was originally called the 'Learned Clan' and discusses their history up until the events mentioned in the document.

Dark Selina is mentioned as a former Camarilla Prince and Cardinal who now supports the Loyalist faction. Smiling Jack is described as an iconoclast and Captain Anarch known for his pranks across North America. Robin Leeland is an ancient Prince who denounced his title and supports the 'Changed'.

Teaching Clan Secrets


The Clan has gone back and forth on this for centuries, but
ultimately it comes down to some things are just for us.
We have, and continue to, develop powers and secrets that
we really shouldn’t share with other clans. The current
consensus amongst the most prominent members of our
clan is that if they catch people teaching or possessing
these secrets when they shouldn’t, is that we should hunt
them down and destroy the fuck out of them. I’ve even
heard The Call used to bring these people to our very
particular brand of justice
So, what makes something a Clan secret verses a personal
secret? Obviously the most ancient history of our Clan
might be considered secret. Those special powers we’ve
developed that have become staples of the Clan, the so
called Combination Techniques or Combination

Accords brought some rather sweeping changes to the
Sabbat. The most significant change for the Brutes was the
decision to declare that the antitribu title would no longer
be claimed by members of the Sword, but instead applied
to their counterparts that serve the Camarilla. There are
many among the clan who see this resolution as terrible
insult to their contributions to the founding of the Sabbat.
When combined with the continued lobbying among the
Tzimisce and Lasombra to proclaim themselves the true
leaders of the Sword, it seems certain that the Brutes are
likely to take action again to save their sect from itself,
possibly under the banner of the Loyalist faction and the
leadership of their infamous clanmate, Dark Selina.

With their fiery tempers and reputations as warriors, the
Osebo of the Ebony Kingdom clearly share a common
bond with the Brujah of the rest of the world. But while
the Brujah are known for their passion and pursuit of
change in the systems around them, the Osebo, also known
as The Pride, tend to give into their impulsive desires for
violence in the most depraved ways. Lacking any greater
ambitions of their own, Osebo frequently are relegated to
the role of thug or warrior in service to other Laibon. Their
tendency to be followers rather than leaders is not from a
lack of pride, but rather from the knowledge that left to

Appendix I
Vision - The Death of Troile
If you play a Brujah and were embraced prior to
16 March 2011, you received this vision. It does
not matter if your character knows it is a Brujah,
it does not matter if your character had or has
amnesia. As long as you were embraced Brujah,
you received this vision.

The cool night air hits your skin, as it brushes


through the dead hairs on your arm you begin to
stir from your day slumber. As you begin to
shake off the death that falls upon you with the
rising of every sun, you clear your eyes and
begin to take in your surroundings. It is then
with much Alacrity you realize where you
are. As the sounds of soldiers yelling and
clanging of great war machines echoes through
the night, you know the Romans have finally
broken through the wall of Carthage. The night
has come, and this is your final stand.

As you exit the basement of the humble house


you had slept in during your most vulnerable
time. You take one step and feel the sticky red
ichor that lines the streets. As you realize the
romans have already begun their slaughter of
the home you love so dearly, you search
frantically for your fellow Cainites. All you can
do is hope, that you are not the last. You make
your way through the city in chaos, slaughtering
roman soldier and Cainite alike, you about
collapse to your knees knowing this is the
end. Then, out of the chill of the night your
salvation is heard. It is her!

Calling upon the precious vitae in your veins


you try to move faster than you have ever
moved before. You know that if you can reach
her, she will give you all the salvation you seek. As you round the street corner to the city square you see
her in all her glory. Clad in armor and her hair tied up ever so neatly your savior bends

knees with each shout of her voice. With each swing of her mighty bronze sword the earth trembles. The
very sight of her brings you to weep. Even though in your heart, you know you all are truly doomed, at least
she stands with all of you still. Even at the end.

As you are swept up in her glory and following every command she gives, you know it is his fault. You

knew it from the day he arrived. Why she fell in love with him, you will never know. Though perhaps it is
not entirely his fault after all. Perhaps he truly is sincere. Surely he could have fled at any moment. Instead
he stands by her side, ever the loyal lover it would appear. The hours go on; the fighting is brutal and
desperate. Even she knows the fight is lost. Now the Romans have the last of you encircled. You look to
your savior for words of encouragement. That you will die knowing you stayed true to your heart. And
indeed her last words are inspiring, but even she can’t fully hide the fear in her eyes. You all know this is
the end. The leaders of the Roman Cainites crest the hill. Smiles of victory and satisfaction cross their face,
they are so close you can feel it. The strong woman, whom you believed in, whom you have followed all
this time, she turns and bids you all good bye, even now she apologies for failing you all. The last time you
see her, she is clutching her lover tightly, and him her. They begin to sink into the ground, as much of the
rest of the remaining army does. You know that while the battle might be lost, the war, perhaps it can
eventually be won in time. You are after all, immortal. You feel the earth begin to consume you, its warm
embrace keeping you safe. You can only imagine what the bloated vile romans are doing to your beloved
city.

For a time it is black, blacker than you could ever conceive. Perhaps this is what hell is like, devoid of all
the warmth of the gods love. You feel an eternity pass. Trapped forever in that moment. The fall of the
only thing you ever loved. The weight of the sorrow carries in your heart as time passes. As you relive each
moment you wonder what difference you could have made. Just as you feel as though you can take no more,
you hear a voice in the distance. It is far to humble to hear at first. Murmuring at best, whispers as if those
treading know what they have stumbled upon. Then silence.

As your heart begins to hang heavy, having hoped your resurrection had come at last, you simply begin to
return to your state of normalcy. That’s when you hear it. A piercing scream. The Howl of Death. It strikes
and assaults all your senses. It pierces your very soul. You move to scream as you realize the source of the
despair. Your savior has been slain. After all these years, she has finally been brought low. As you rage
against your tomb, trying to release yourself from your prison you know you will go mad. Your bonds will
not let go, you are as helpless as the day the romans came.

Even with all your might it’s no hope, that’s when the dirt begins to move on its own. You can feel it being
thrown aside above you. You wonder, and hope, that perhaps the killers have come for you finally. Perhaps
some young Cainite discovered the truth and has come to claim ancient vitae. A warmness of your own
demise begins to fill you, an end to it all. Perhaps you will rejoin your lady once again. At the very least,
hell can be no worse then what you have already endured. As the final patch of dirt clears your face and you
smile knowing the end has come, you look up to not see your slayers. Instead you are greeted by him. Her
lover, he has dug you free. He offers you a hand and leans in with a stern look upon his face and blood tears
in his eyes.

“Come Maharbal, I have risen. And we shall have our revenge.”

Appendix II
Important Brujah Characters
Manuela Cardoso - The Justicar
Manuela was Embraced in Brazil in the 17th century. A former slave who does not hide her past, she rose in
prominence and traveled to many cities in Europe in the 18th Century, one of few kindred who would make
the dangerous trip across the Atlantic more than once. While her career through several positions in many
Domains was public enough, her name remained somewhat shielded from the general population. Known as
a brilliant tactician and diplomat, her loyalty to the Camarilla and its ideals was perhaps her most known
feature. In 2015 she appeared at a gathering in Brasilia, capital of Brazil, claiming to be the new Justicar of
Clan Brujah in replacement of Jaroslav Pascek. A quiet dispute between the two broke off as he claimed she
was an impostor and a lier. In the end, her name was confirmed as the true Justicar.

Valeria - The Chief Archon


Little is known about the Brujah Justicar's Chief Archon. The name rose somewhat around the 18h century,
around domains of the Old World. While her reputation seems to be that of a diplomat and a politician of the
finest caliber, she is usually seen at the side of the Justicar she serves, a shadow never too far behind. She
usually handles most of the business of the office, ensuring only matters of great importance reaches the
Justicar.

Theo Bell – Archon to


Manuela Cardoso
His reputation precedes him, usually right
before a well-placed fist. There isn’t a region
in North America that cannot boast of an
encounter with Theo Bell, most of which
involves the torpor of swaths of Kindred who
dared provoke the Justicar, or perhaps
stepped a toe out of a line that only Theo Bell
knows. Anyone wishing to become more
acquainted with him is heavily advised
against it, and would do well to engender
themselves to Archon Valeria instead.
Formerly in service to the replaced Jaroslav
Pascek, now Theo Bell must define his role
once again inside the offices of the new
Justicar.

Robin Leeland
Robin predates the founding of the Camarilla and the 1st Anarch Revolt. A Prince of his lands in the Dark
Ages, and well connected to may kindred of significant age. Centuries gone by and he Sired the infamous
Wat Tyler, the Anarch to light the fires of the first Anarch Revolt. Their relationship became strained and
distance grew between them.

18
During the Year of Fire, Robin denounced his title of Prince and began publicly supporting those from the
1st city of Carthage that had awoken when Troile rose. He warned the Camarilla and others that the powers
of Carthage would be turned full force if they attempted to stop their dream of Vampiric Freedom among
Mortals.
Having earned the ire of the Justicariate, Robin became a wanted man for his support of the Carthaginians
that sought to rip the masquerade wide open. Then with the corruption of the Carthaginians by the Baali
within their Ranks, Robin disappeared for some time, unable to be found.
He is said to have been last seen at the "el Libertad" in NY over the summer of 2016. He has shown he
supports the Changed and calls them brothers, as well as announced the reformation of the Prometheans.

Smiling Jack
Smiling Jack is the epitome of an iconoclast,
Nihilist, so called Captain Anarch. He's been
seen all across the world from the Caribbean,
South America, East Coast West Coast, if
there is trouble to be made and Ventrue to piss
off, Jack has probably been there.

His most well known "trick" would have been


when he held the guests of the Queen Mary all
Hostage back in Los Angeles 2013 by rigging
explosives throughout the ship. Some found it
hilarious, some genuinely feared for their
lives. Smiling Jack got his rocks off.

Smiling Jack has never been one for politics


or taking up a gang or leadership role within
the Movement, he instead Mentors young
Anarchs and acts like a role model. He has
taken in many thin bloods and is rumored to
have agents of his in the Blood Republic that
formed from the west Coast of Canada.
A common rumor still implies that Jack has
been aiding Tremere who have run from the
clan by protecting them in exchange for access
to their magics. None have been able to
confirm truth to this, nor has anyone had the
nerve to address the suspicion to Smiling Jack
directly. He can definitely shoot fireballs
though. So there's that.

Dark Selina
An elder Brujah and former prince of the Camarilla, Dark Selina has long since supported what she believes
to be the true ideals of the Sword of Caine - absolute freedom from the oppression of the Elders. She is
known to have supported the Sabbat of New England for years in their campaigns to destroy the Ivory
Tower. Her support (often unknown to many Sabbat) has resulted in New England becoming the largest and
strongest Sabbat held territory in all of North America.

19
In 2015, Dark Selina was among those brought to trial for their actions during the Fourth Sabbat Civil War.
Her rivalry with Charles VI led to their cross-accusations of each other, which ultimately, were both found to
be baseless. At the Ecumenical Council of 2016, in Mexico City, Dark Selina officially renounced her
position as Cardinal in preparation to throw her full support behind the Loyalist faction.
