Cappadocius was a holy man in life, a shaman or some sort of priest. He spent his unlife in pursuit of the mysteries of death. It was this quest that lead him to the Giovanni family of necromancers. Augustus Giovanni believed that Cappadocious was mad, especially after learning that the Antediluvian planned to somehow Diablerise God! Augustus believed there was only one action he could take. After Cappadocious' Diablerie by Augustus Giovanni, the Giovanni proceeded to wipe out all Cappadocians. However, some may have survived, such as the Inifitiore, a group of Cappadocians who broke away from the rest of the Clan centuries before. It is theorised by some that Baron Samedi and his bloodline are descended from these survivors, their decomposing-corpselike visages a blight that had been noted with increasing frequency among the Cappadocians in the years leading up to their fall. The emergence of the Harbingers of Skulls has also boosted speculation that the Cappadocians are back, and they are hungry for vengeance.
Saulot is the closest thing to a Cainite saint. It is said he was particularly favoured by Caine, who some say, saw Saulot as a surrogate Abel. It is known that Saulot was kept close by Caine, and was also a close friend of Malkav, and when he had visions, as he was known to do, everyone listened to Saulot's words. The Salubri Clan were healers and caregivers, but some were also warriors, descended from Samiel, Saulot's hot-headed childe who trained with Brujah and Gangrel warriors. No one knows for certain exactly where the Baali came from. The Baali themselves talk of a mysterious vampire who embraced the three leaders of a cult of devil worshippers, the first Baali. It has been whispered that this vampire might have been Cappadocious, indeed, many Baali believe it was, but others whisper that it might have been Saulot. Still, when the Baali threat emerged, Saulot was enraged, sending his warriors at the forefront of the Second City's vampiric army. Sadly, Samiel was slain by a traitor from within his own Clan during the battle. While the Baali were defeated, and have been in subsequent conflicts, they have always remained, and while Saulot still lived, he viciously pursued any means to destroy the satanic vampires. Some whisper that it was not chance that lead Tremere to choose Saulot for Diablerie, and many wonder how Tremere could have so easily learned the location of the sleeping Ancient. The possible involvement of the demonic Baali in the Tremere's ascendancy to Clan-hood is a theory that is spoken of only in the quietest voices, for the implications, should it be true, are almost too terrifying to contemplate.

"I don't know much about the Cappadocians. They say the Giovanni were once part of this Clan before they took over and destroyed them. What I do know is that the Cappadocians were into death. Not in the creepy, perverse, pseudosexual way the Giovanni are, but in a scholarly, esoteric, almost spiritual way. I wish I could have known one, they sounded interesting. Don't know about the Samedi, they're even more screwed up than the Nosferatu, and even more revolting looking, if that's possible. I heard a story recently that Baron Samedi is the childe of a 4th Generation Cappadocian who survived the Giovanni "takeover". Apparently this guy's name is Lazarus, he's been sleeping for centuries, and now he just woke up. Gehenna survival kits anyone?
"Don't know much about the Salubri either, the Elders don't have much to say about them but I know they HAVE stuff to say, they just don't want to talk about it. Just another reason why the Tremere should be destroyed. I do know the story that Samiel, the first Salubri Warrior, trained under the guidance of our great progenitor, as well as the Brujah Antediluvian. Apparently we Gangrel used to help them out in the middle ages when they were being hunted by the Tremere, and I'd be happy to continue that tradition, but there are so few Salubri left, I doubt I'll ever even meet one before they're all gone. As for the Baali, I've heard only vague horror stories, which reminded me of tabloid news stories or Jerry Springer calibre stuff. I just hope the stories are exaggerated, because these guys are really scary. If you ever run into one, kill first, ask questions later."
