Vampire the Requiem - Covenant - Lancea Sanctum

Similar in more secular parlance to a medieval knight, a Crusader is not a leader among the Sanctified, nor is he a mere soldier. The Crusaders are also not considered Inquisitors. More or less, a Crusader is a member of the “elite” warriors of The Lancea Sanctum. Renowned for their martial ability, they are fierce combatants, feared assassins, and cold killers. Crusaders are perhaps overly indoctrinated into the covenant, set upon rigid schedules of prayer and ritae, nigh fanatically enthusiastic to do anything (including meet Final Death) for the covenant. Crusaders are also expected to keep up their martial training (and this can include any kind of fighting, be it with melee weapons, firearms, or abstract tactics). They are not viewed as individual Kindred. They are seen as predatory weapons meant to be wielded for the glory and grace of the Dark Prophet. Many Sanctified see this position as outdated and bullish, though other older Sanctified feel that when the time comes, they’d rather have the protection than be without it.
