| And as the Mla Watu as the Laibon Legacies and arguably the Samedi could have Cappadocian roots. | |

According to the Samedi clan book, the Samedi were accidently created by the Giovanni... well one Giovanni in particular, during a failed experiment. | |

| Yes, but that is a fanbook the three possibilites are cappadocian hideaways, giovanni offshoot from a premascine variant or a nosferatu line. | |

| You got a good point... If Giovanni = Cappadocians and Samedi came from Giovanni, then Samedi too came from Cappadocians... | |

Unlikely. Giovanii are as much a family as they are a clan. To be Embraced by one, even to get a Proxy Kiss (ghouling), You need to be of mortal Giovanni, Pisanob, Ghilberti, della Passaglia, Rosselini, Milanier or Koenig mortal lines. And they do keep records. Posing as one would be nearly sucidal. They woyld simply find out. Think of the Giovanni as Tremere with incest, necrophylia and extremly strong family ties. Plus wraithly spies. Capadocians were extinguished. Some may be in torpor, but they are still out of the picture, right? Those active either come back from the dead (Harbingers of Skulls), were too powerful and cunning to get caught (practicaly Capuchin alone), or were infitore, who left the clan after the Feast of Folly, and mutated into Samedi. | |

| I too cling to opinion that Samedi were artificially created. Will try to find out more. | |

That's how The Final Nights game has it setup, that the Samedi were artifically created during a failed Giovanni experiment. I used this based on the Samedi clanbook I downloaded. Since nothing else is deemed cannon that I know of, then this theory works just as well as any other. But for TFN, Giovanni creating the Samedi then trying to hunt them down and kill them all is cannon... again in TFN. | |

| Samedi have a clanbook? ST companion confirms Giovanni origins, or suggest "something darker". There are all three opinions as viable on the web (wow!). | |

| Some of the eldest Giovanni are still technically Giovanni. As more than just Augustus were embraced before they turned on their masters. The eldest of them are kept in the older sewer systems maintained by the family in Venice while some lay in Torpor and others get thrown a mortal now and again to keep them placated. | |

Anziani ( Elders ) don't approve bringing those not of the blood into the fold. And pissing them off is quite suicidal. Ah, and don't forget they could torture your soul aftrwards, too. And unico sangue (of mortal Giovanni) are alvays preffered to doppio sangue (double-bloods, i. e. of other, lesser famielies ). In Clanbook there was only one case of non-family Embrace, if memory serves. And even that was a Premescine (from before the Bite, i. e. Diablerie of Capadoccius). Living in the sewers of Mausoleum in Venice, below the water level, Premescines are not likely to give an Embrace. And only them are still technically Capadoccian. Tremere aren't called Salubri, even they Founder did Salout in, are they? | |
