Quote

"What horror have the Methuselahs wrought? What grotesque affairs of terror and destruction have they birthed upon this planet? Their cruelty and depravity are legendary, and none can match them for atrocities - and then there is the Black Hand."

"Defender of right, servant of the clan sires and instrument of justice, the Hand plays a central role in the World of Darkness. Far more than the assassins of the Sabbat, the Hand plays its part with all the considerable skill an ancient society can muster."
