Godslayers
Godslayers interpret quotes from the Bible (especially Exodus 15:11, “Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods”) to mean that other gods do exist, but that God Himself is preeminent among them. As the faithful soldiers of the King of Heaven, Godslayers consider it their job to weaken other gods by destroying their followers. Thus, members of this faction hunt down and kill not only Kindred of other covenants and non-Sanctified religious denominations (such as vampires who continue to practice mortal Christianity), but prominent mortal heathens, as well. In the long, grim history of the covenant, Godslayer factions have even sought out werewolf priests and spiritual mages for elimination.
The story of the Godslayers comes in short, violent spurts. As word of their fanatical campaigns fades more slowly than the reports of their defeat, one or two surviving Godslayers build another faction of followers around themselves and then strike against at any heathens they please.
This faction is outlawed for two reasons: The first is that the actions of the group threaten the relations with other covenants and even the Masquerade. The second, and more sublime reason is that it is heretical to the Sanctified’s Judeo-Christian roots to claim there is more than one god. In past nights, Godslayers have been brought down not by their heathen foes, but by Sanctified Inquisitors.
For the fifth time in two centuries, the Godslayers are thought to have been wiped out. Unfortunately, it’s not entirely out of the question that a small or withdrawn domain is suffering somewhere under the bloody authority of a cloister of Godslayers.
