Exorcists
The World of Darkness is home to more monstrous creatures than vampires. Werewolves, wizards, ghosts and spirits share the world with the Kindred... as do other, lesser-known things. Many of these creatures pose a danger to Sanctified and secular Kindred alike. What’s worse, some horrors appear to be servants of a greater evil — possibly the Devil himself. In order to combat these creatures and protect their fellow Kindred, small groups of dedicated warriors have arisen among the Sanctified.
Most other Sanctified consider Exorcists to be dangerous fanatics, suicidal lunatics or both. At best, coteries of Exorcists destroy a few enemies or unidentified supernatural monsters before being destroyed themselves. At worst, they bring down the wrath of other monsters upon the parish. Not all Exorcist factions respond with violence first, however. Many are investigators and researchers, drawing on the ancient lore of The Lancea Sanctum to identify and combat threats both ancient and modern. A rare few Exorcist factions may even count the local Inquisitor in their ranks.
Most groups of Exorcists are private, withdrawn and insular, devoted to their own crusades rather than the domain’s priorities. In certain parishes, especially those plagued by occult mysteries and violence, Exorcists may accumulate power and wield it as they see necessary to protect the congregation and identify the covenant’s enemies in the city. Meanwhile, representatives of the secular domain may turn to Exorcists to deal with supernatural menaces throughout the Prince’s territory.
