THE FAMILY

The Sabbat of Gotham, in contrast to the Camarilla, is far from typical of the sect as a whole. As Bishop, Santiago enjoys a lot of freedom from sect interference due to his successful hold on Gotham. His alliance with the Giovanni family who once ran almost all of Gotham’s crime syndicates gives him a powerbase unequalled elsewhere in Sabbat territories. While Don Antonio commands the Giovanni vampires and the made men, Estoban the Bishop's right hand man sees to all the house keeping and duties of a seneschal. Each could be said to be head of a camp within the family.

The family resides at a vast communal Haven, actually comprised of several adjoining villa's in little Italy. Depending on who you ask it is either referred to as 'the Sabbat manse' or 'Casa Giovanni'. While the Packs often have other, less well known Havens of their own, the sheer numbers at the Sabbat Manse make it quite safe for the Vampires to rest there during the day. The Mortals of the Giovanni family are well trained in their duties and there are worse things for a Vampire than having an established Mafia cartel watch over you by day.

THE SABBAT
The Sabbat are the guiding force behind the family, the reason it exists in the state that it does. At first glance the Gotham Sabbat might appear to be in direct contrast the sects perceived gaols, but beyond the unusual alliance, the packs here are little different to Pack's elsewhere. Having New York city, jewel in the Sabbat crown, so close means that the vampires of Gotham are competitive and rightly proud of their war against the antediluvians. They are devoted servants of Caine and committed monsters to a brave.

All tactics of War are governed by the Templar; Titus Bane, leader of the Dark Knights pack. The Priest Miriam Troy conducts all the ritae and watches over the philosophical and spiritual growth of the packs. Above them all the Bishop stands like an obscene father figure, loving yet cold and utterly determined to see 'the Family' succeed and prosper at any and all costs!

The Momma's Boyz were founded around the Legendary Sabbat Dominion Dylan Bruce and its history is indivisible from his. Recently Mathew, the Toreador Antetribu, was slain by the mysterious snake bitches in a battle in Darktown.
Politics
The Momma's Boyz are a perfect example of the lowest the Sabbat can reach. Founded by a legend they have devolved somewhat into a nightmare war party forever seeking violence and infamy. Since the founders dissapearance, Miriam has fought to maintain her boys direction and purity of vision, but they are used more and more as shock troops and for inducing fear. Membership requires something few Sabbat can ever have, and numbers remain fairly stable.

The Beta Pack are used more as guardians for the Sabbat manse and as support for the Dark Knights. They are Braves and muscle, with little need or room for other skills.



THE GIOVANNI
While the family consists of both Sabbat and Giovanni, it is still the later who understand and maintain the crime syndicate. Such work is mostly do involved and too combined with humanity to interest True Sabbat and the group seems to prefer keeping things separate. Led by Antonio the Capo di tutti capi (Boss of bosses) of Gotham who, although a true Sabbat in name, is concerned almost exclusively with matters of Business and profit. He runs the rackets and legitimate concerns of the family, keeping the Sabbat of Gotham financially secure and also providing restless braves with something to do in-lew of battling the Camarilla. His Lieutenant's include Donatello, the Mortal Capodecima, Carlo Genovese; Capodecima of the Goodfella's Pack and Luciano Gambino; Capodecima of the Wiseguys Pack.

Politics
The Goodfella’s are the epitome of Santiago and Antonio’s great merging. A Sabbat pack made up entirely of Giovanni Sgarrista, or made men. They serve the sect as devotedly as any Brave, but their ways and rituals are all La Cosa Nostra. Charged with putting out ‘hits’ and the general Policing of the Family as a whole, the Goodfella’s demand a high degree of respect from all other Giovanni, whether living, Dead or Undead, and act as one would expect the elite to act.

History

Politics
Although still led by Sgarrista of the Giovanni Clan, the Wise Guys pack has slowly become more diverse. Through natural attrition and the slow melding of Sabbat with Necromancers, the Wiseguys now contains several Giovane d’honore, members from other Clans. They have lost little of their ‘thing’ but most non Giovanni members are those Sabbat wishing to emulate the La Cosa Nostra society. Charged with carrying cash, watching over VIP’s, collecting debt’s and such other high profile dirty work, the Wiseguy’s are a working Joe pack with friends, and enemy’s, in both camps.
