Les Orphelins
- Sabbat -- Montreal
- Background
- Formed at the end of World War I, Les Orphelins ("The Orphans") has always been linked to Montreal's most violent elements. The pack-mates have adopted the style of a biker gang and are responsible for a major turf war between the mortal Hell's Angels and Rock Machine gangs. Car bombings and restaurant shootings are becoming more and more common in Montreal.
- The original pack members were orphans who, once Embraced by their common sire Louis le Monstre, desired to cause as much destruction as possible. The pack has never had trouble absorbing new members, choosing them from among the poor and hopeless who look for a way to fight back. Of the pack's original members, only Pierre Bellemare remains.
- Below the surface, Les Orphelins are the premiere example of the rot that has crept into the Sabbat of Montreal. A tool of the infernalist Bellemare, the pack's brutality and seemingly predictable behavior serve as a cover for Pierre's efforts to corrupt.
- Lair
- Les Orphelins maintain a lair in an abandoned oil refinery in East Montreal. The mass of rusted pipes, twisted buildings and towering tanks is surrounded by high fences topped with razor wire. Several tanker trucks remain in working order in the refinery garage, ready for "special occasions." The pack often holds hunts on its lair grounds, trapping mortals in the metal maze and welcoming fellow Sabbat to join the merry chase.
- Rites and Practices
- Rite of Charybdis: Les Orphelins practice most of the standard Sabbat rites, but take their greatest joy in violent games. They have also developed the unique multipurpose Rite of Charybdis (also called the "Whirlpool"). It involves two or more vampires biting into each other's wrists and drinking each other's blood. As each drinks, blood flows from one to the other and back again, forging a powerful Vinculum. The rite can also serve as a Monomancy Rite - in which each vampire tries to consume the other's blood faster than his opponent - or as a way to test mortal candidates. Humans who try to keep up with a feeding vampire prove their strength and undergo the Creation Rites. The Whirlpool is also a very effective way to spread the diseases that taint Pierre Bellemare's blood.
