==Conflicting Origins==

Much like many things in the [[World of Darkness]], the Clan was given two different and mutually-exclusive origins.

The first one is that the Clan is descended from a thief named Dacian, who was embraced by [[Caine]]'s childer Irad to spy on the group who would become the [[Antediluvian]]s.  Dacian would go on to betray his sire, and lead to the fall of the Second City.

The second origin given ties more closely to the Clan's origins in India.  The asuratizayya, former [[Exalted|champions of the Gods]] [[Kindred of the East|abandoned their duties to become blood-drinking monsters]].  In return, the gods revived a man that wronged by those fallen champions more than any other -- Zapathasura, who was then tasked with eradicating the former.

Zapathasura in turn Embraced [[Methuselah|five individuals]] -- '''Marizhavashti Kali''' the seer, '''Rakshasa''' the shapeshifter, '''Chandraputra''' the commander, '''Ravana''' the betrayer (who may be the Yama King of the same name), and finally '''Ramessu''', who served as internal police for his fellows. It is from these five that the rest of the Clan is descended from.
