From hidden fortresses in the Middle East, the Assamites emerge as the silent stalkers of other Cainites. Secretive, insular and fanatically loyal to the precepts of their Clan, the Assamites claim to be descendants of Haqim (Assam), who is said to fight against Khayyin (Caine) and his curse. As a result, the Assamites seek to convert or slay other Cainites, attempting to purge the foul curse of Khayyin and bring honor to Haqim's cause of justice. Needless to say, such pursuits including hunting other Cainites for blood, and engaging in diablerie in attempts to strengthen their clan and their closeness to Haqim are not popular with the other Clans.
The Assassins in New York have not had a considerable impact on the politics of the region, but they remain nevertheless a presence in the city. Most of the members of the Clan have been fairly independent in their work, and very little evidence has come to light regarding any sort of unified hierarchy or social order. The fact that city has housed at least one Schismatic, in addition to several Anarchs and other Dispossessed, makes the Clan unique here, as ties to Alamut seem tenuous at best.
