The Assamite History of Paris
Officially, there is no free Assamite in Paris: This Clan's existence on murder was useful until Villon, bored to see them used to further his enemies plots, banished them from France and Paris. While banishing the Clan from France is a simple theory, their presence in Paris is unknown. Villon uses the Sixth Tradition to Blood Hunt any Assamite appearing, and, a rare thing indeed among the Kindred, extends it up to any Kindred using Assamite's service, other than Bodyguard.
Assamite in Paris must give the proof that they are working for some Kindred. This Kindred must have the authorization of Villon to do so (Prestation, Prestation...), and will be judged responsible should the Assamite be accused of assassination. The Assamite working as bodyguard find the agreement a good one, as they are still paid in Blood.
The other Assamite judge them slaves, through, as they keep protecting the Kindred enemy. Any Assamite working as a bodyguard in Paris will see his Assamite Prestige decreased by one.
There is a third type of Assamite. This Bloodline was created centuries ago, when the Clan Assamite, cursed by the Tremere, came to the contact of eastern sects of warriors and assassins. While the Assamite Vampire believed his own Clanmates quite good (in a martial viewpoint), they had much to learn from those mysterious sects. So a 7th Generation Embraced one of them, and Dominated him so he wouldn't escape. But he underestimated the sense of honor of his new Childe, who fled at the first occasion to his own sect to tell his masters about his aggressions. The Eastern Vampire took it bad, but had no real mean to avenge their honor. Anyway, the Chinese Assamite was never heard off again, but now, some of his Childer appeared with the Yakuzah, and some other chinese or japanese crime sects...
