VtM - WhiteWolf: Genealogy -- Baali
In the trilogy, Saulot has been killed by Tremere manipulated by St. Germain ; in many
other sourcebooks, Saulot has manipulated Tremere into diablerising him, and has taken
control of him. In both cases, the Tremere clan is manipulated...
Named Seker, Lord of the Underworld, he was also known as the Comte de St. Germain or
Count Rakoczi. He became the Red Death after his pact with the Sheddim. His existential
identity is left uncertain (mage? faerie? mummy?) but we can make the hypothesis that
Seker is a progeny of Saulot. He essentially created and controls completely the Tremere
Clan. Like Lameth and the Giovanni, St. Germain was an "adviser" to Tremere himself,
and was the one responsible for convincing him to seek immortality via the Kindred and
their accursed vitae. He was even present at the very ceremony where Tremere and his
Councilors diablerised Saulot, though he has conveniently erased this memory from all
their minds.
The Tremere still don't realize how Seker has been manipulating them for centuries. He's
stolen so many of their greatest discoveries. St. Germain hunted for the lost pages of The
Book of Nod. "The Apocrypha of the Damned. The unrevealed truths of Caine, the Third
Mortal, as told by Seth, his ghoul. The final secrets of the kindred. A prize equal, in value
to the legendary Lameth's Cup, or the Sword of Troile. A Tremere scholar found the
forgotten passage carved on the wall of an ancient tomb in the Middle East. Seker killed
him before he could report the discovery to the clan elders. The formula inscribed on the
stones enable him to contact Sheddim and the shattered world were described in a lost
section of The Book of Enoch. There, hidden in a language so obscure that only the most
dedicated scholar can unravel it, are many of the basics truths about our world and its
creation.
Seth, the third child of Adam and Eve, was the first mage. He learned these secrets from
his father, who was in turn told them by the Archangel, Gabriel. Over the millennia, the
sacred dealogues of Seth, the Roskmah mistarcsh, were passed down from mage to mage,
until they were finally transcribed by the occult scholar Moses de Leon in The Zohar, the
basis for that which became The Kaballah. Seth was first magician and was first ghoul. He
was Caine's ghoul. He disappeared when the First City, Enoch, was destroyed. According
to Cainite tradition, the dialogues of Set formed part of The Book of Nod. But those
sections have been lost for thousands of years. They were recovered and The Red Death
was born.
In the beginning, the Lord God said "Let there be light". Afterward, he created the heavens
and the earth. However, if there was a need for light, originally there must have been
darkness. Why darkness? The answer is simple. Before our world there were other worlds.
Our universe was not first created by God. There have been other spheres. Wasn't revealed
by Gabriel to Seth how many. Others existed, but they were destroyed, either by God or by
their inhabitants. God in his infinite wisdom created the denizens of each sphere in his
mage. However, as the Lord is all-encompassing, same as ours. Not even the substance.
These beings who inhabit this plane of existence, this material dimension, have form and
shape.
Humans, kindred, garou are creatures of flesh and blood. Demons and faeries when they
