The Caitiff of the Sabbat came together in 1957 under the leadership of Joseph Pander. Sick of being treated like shit by their kin, this eventually sparked the Third Sabbat Civil War. Pander had devised a ritual called ''One of My Tribe'', which severs a Kindred from all ties that work via lineage, making one a true Caitiff. This is potent enough to sever Malkavians from the Malkavian Madness Network, and might in theory even protect someone from the effects of the curse put upon Tremere having undergone the Vaulderie or the link between an individual and Tzimisce via the blood/Vicissitude. Over the course of 100 days a mix of violence and diplomacy eventually saw the Panders (what they started calling themselves) officially recognized as a part of the Sabbat, much to the chagrin of several existing clans. But the Panders had proven themselves to be loyal and as such were recognized as equals. 

Joseph Pander is still alive to this day: as a Priscus of the Sabbat he has no formal power but a great deal of influence, which suits him just fine. Even then, there's a lot of kindred within the Sabbat who'd love to see him dead, but nobody's managed to off him just yet. In turn, he's smart enough to not jockey for too much power and prefers to stay out of of the limelight, making the rounds with his pack and acting as a sagely old Kindred to the younger generations, proving to older vampires that even a Caitiff's star can rise high.
