FBI - Special Affairs Division

From The World Is A Vampire

F.B.I.

Although the FBI is by-an-large ignorant of the supernatural, its COINTELPROs have inadvertently aroused an astonishing degree of acrimony from the various supernatural groups. The FBI's investigations into AIM have angered both the Wendigo and the Uktena. The Bureau has also become the brunt of hostility from the Brujah, Black Furies, Children of Gaia and the Cult of Ecstasy, with consequences that range from the deadly to the comical. The FBI's most consistent opposition, however, has come from an unexpected source. Because of its Hollywood investigations and the blacklisting of the forties and fifties, the FBI has raised the ire of the vampire Toreador clan. Over the years the Toreador have not missed an opportunity to make the FBI look bad, and the result has been a steady decrease in the Bureau's popularity and funding. The FBI is a more beleaguered organization in the WOD than it is in our own.

Special Affairs Division

Special Affairs was created specifically to investigate the Kindred. It is little surprise, then, that they have learned much about the undead. The meager physical samples available have revealed something of Kindred physiology and physical weaknesses. Studies suggest that Kindred blood platelets are similar in structure to those of earth worm blood. Thus the department has, by and large, been able to separate fact from fiction and determine what methods of attack would be efficacious against the Kindred.

The department knows about the Camarilla and most of the clans. It has known about the Ventrue, Tremere, Brujah and Nosferatu for some time, and has recently become aware of the existence of the Gangrel; it now believes that it has uncovered all of the sects of the Kindred population. SAD views the Nosferatu as without doubt the most dangerous and vicious of the clans.

SAD has an ideological dislike for the Brujah. They also know of the Sabbat, which appears to be the Camarilla's "opposite numbers," mirroring the Camarilla's five clans in the form of "anti-clans" (i.e. the "Anti-Ventrue"). The agency has determined that the Sabbat is even more dangerous than the Camarilla, and has stepped up its investigations into Sabbat activity, especially in the New York area. Of even greater interest than the Sabbat is the recent discovery that there are vampires involved in organized crime. This as-yet-unnamed clan is obviously from overseas; it seems to work outside of both the Camarilla and the Sabbat.
