The warriors traditionally make up the Children’s most visibly active caste and for a thousand years and more, the warrior caste was the Assamite clan, at least to the rest of the Cainite world. Their role within the clan is that of the defender, both of their clanmates and Haqim’s legacy of justice.

In modern nights, few Cainites dispute the assertion that the Assamite warrior caste collectively holds one of the most fearsome assemblages of fighters on the face of the planet. Indeed, the warriors are perhaps the only Cainite line whose primary focus is the study of the application of violence.

After the fall of the Second City, as the Children of Haqim settled into their modern caste structure, the viziers became the clan’s thinkers, creators and occasional leaders, though the warriors never relinquished complete control of Alamut. They were also the Children who, as a general rule, had the closest contact with mortal society on a nightly basis.

The viziers originated as seekers of knowledge, and a surprisingly strong majority of the line has held to this ideal over the millennia. Indeed, it seems as if the caste as a whole is driven to create and learn, as if possessed by a solitary mania – or guided by a single will.
