Canonical Noddist lore holds that there are thirteen Antediluvians of the Third Generation โ€“ one for each of the clans โ€“ and that each was Embraced by a member of the Second Generation, meaning that they are all nominally siblings or cousins. Some of the clans believe in very different creation myths, however, particularly those that originated outside Europe.

While most assume Caine had only three childerand thirteen grandchilder, this may not be the case. Several sources have offered different accounts, including:

  • The book Gehenna introduced a number of previously unknown Antediluvians in several different scenarios, though each of these scenarios introduced a different set of new Antediluvians. For example, one of these was a woman called “the Shaper”, who developed a unique Discipline that allows her to move, animate, reshape and transform material objects. She took the name “Sarah” to interact with the player characters during the story where she appeared.[2]
  • The Erciyes Fragments states that there were more Cainites at the time of the Great Flood, but presumably few survived during the time which they had to feed on one another for blood. In particular, it cites the childer of Caine to be EnochZyllahJabal, Adah, Tubal, and Mehujael. It also suggests that the differences in generation came from a curse levied by Caine and did not appear until after his own childer were slain.[3]
  • In a letter from Vlad ศšepeศ™ to Mina Harker, Vlad stated that, in his research, he has come across various writings which state that the Third Generation numbered at 9, 27, 100, and 0. He was not sure which one was correct.[4][5]
  • Ravnos lore claims that their founder, Zapathasura, was created by the gods and sired five childer: Black Mother, the RakshasaChandraputraRavana, and Ramessu. Since this tale is incompatible with traditional Noddist lore, these childer may be members of the Third or Fourth Generation (likely childer of [Ravnos] himself), or they may all be faces of the same individual.[6]
  • One Setite legend holds that Set became a vampire on his own, and that the Egyptian gods (actually the Gnostic Aeons) created the Antediluvians of the other twelve clans to thwart him.[7]
  • Angra Mainyu, a Baali High Priest, claimed to have visions revealing that Caine had five childer, not three.[8]
  • One branch of the Path of Lilith, the Path of Awakening, believes that Arikel and Malkav were twins, children of Lilith, and that they had a younger sister, Nahema, who also received the Embrace. According to legend, Nahema descended into Hell, but never lost touch with her siblings, her spirit forever bound to them and their childer โ€“ it is Nahema’s spirit that whispers in the Malkavian Madness Network, that burns in the hearts of the Toreador. Some of her worshippers call her the Dark Muse, the Anti-Muse, and the Demon Queen of Madness, and she is said to be patron saint of serial killers and torturers.[9]
  • The tale of the Iryi, or Watchers, says there were ten members of the Second Generation, anti-divine entities that cannot be easily classified by sorcerer-theologians, created by Azazel-Caine (the Dark Father in his aspect as Abel’s murderer) and Lilith from the substance of the Qlippoth, anti-being and deception. When the Antediluvians killed the Watchers, their spirits returned to the Qlippoth whence they came, from where they seek to regain a foothold in the material world through the Disciplines stolen from them.[10]
  • The cult known as the Adoptive Childer of Malakai believe that while Caine may have been a vampiric founder, he was not the only one, or even the first. They are dedicated to the worship and study of the Antediluvian Malakai, spoken of in scriptures referencing Lilith’s orphans as Malkav’s twin sister, even more unstable and dangerous than her brother, her madness able to warp reality. She is said to be imprisoned deep within the Shadowlands, never a sire to childer.[11]
  • The highest levels of the Tal’Mahe’Ra know of records that hint members of the Third Generation were killed in the First City for the practice of infernalism, with at least one such account having the name of the accused utterly effaced from the stone.[12]
  • John Sidestorm concludes there might very well be missing members of the Second and Third Generations.[13]

Known Antediluvians

Clan Founders

Traditionally, Antediluvians are simply referred to as the (clan) Antediluvian, such as the Gangrel AntediluvianTzimisce Antediluvian, and so on. An alternate usage is to describe the name in square brackets (i.e., [Tzimisce]), both to denote the fact that the names of the Antediluvians are unknown and as a precaution against drawing their ire by using their real names. That said, Noddist scholars in the past have arbitrarily derived names from the clan name, such as Malkav from Malkavian, which have since come to be accepted as the common sobriquets for the Antediluvians in question. Some records do exist of names believed to have been used by Antediluvians, though it is well known that they have gone by many aliases in their travels and it may be impossible to ever know their original names. Regardless, several names are commonly accepted as valid and are listed below:
