	The relationship of the vampire Mithras to the divinity at the center of the cult's worship was often contested; Crethus explicitly regarded his sire as a sort of avatar or emanation of the god, rather than the god himself~~[17]~~ while others believe Mithras is a god coincidentally inhabiting a Cainite shell, or (more cynically) that the cult is the invention of a wily methuselah whose Disciplines let him counterfeit divinity.

	An intricate hierarchy exists in Mithraic cults, with the Paters at the top, overseeing sacrifices and other rites. Just below the pater is the Heliodromus, a sort of war leader, and the Perses, who oversee rites involving bloodletting. These and other ranks are distinguished with both ceremonial garb and with brands impressed in the flesh of the faithful. While only male mortals were permitted knowledge of the Mithraic mysteries, Cainites of all genders are admitted to worship. Worship takes place in underground temples called mithraeums (plural mithraei or mithraea), and devout Cainites may rest there during the day. The ritual sacrifice of bulls — as well as humans and vampires — followed by communal blood-drinking is at the heart of Mithras' worship. This ritual bears a vague resemblance to the Sabbat's Vaulderie.		An intricate hierarchy exists in Mithraic cults, with the Paters at the top, overseeing sacrifices and other rites.
