The Baali are a bloodline of vampires associated with demon worship. Much of the Baali symbolism is Mesopotamian and Phoenician in origin. The very name Baali is originated from the Phoenician word Ba'al, meaning "great lord". Some versions present the true purpose of the Baali as keeping demons sleeping by feeding them with carnage and destruction. Most presentations show them as Infernalists, using demon worship to gain additional power. In the modern era, the Baali are in decline, having been hunted to near extinction by both the Camarilla and Sabbat.

  • The Baali are a bloodline of vampires associated with demon worship. Much of the Baali symbolism is Mesopotamian and Phoenician in origin. The very name Baali is originated from the Phoenician word Ba'al, meaning "great lord". Some versions present the true purpose of the Baali as keeping demons sleeping by feeding them with carnage and destruction. Most presentations show them as Infernalists, using demon worship to gain additional power. They have a somewhat complex heritage, appearing at times as a bloodline and at times as a clan. There is some indication that they may be a bloodline of the Salubri, but their origin may also be as descendants of the Gangrel line. Additionally, they recruit vampires from other clans to become Baali, further confusing the issue. Historically the Assamites, Followers of Set, and Salubri have fought wars against the Baali. The Salubri and Assamites in particular have a deep seated hatred for the Baali. The Assamite warriors' current blood addiction can be traced to a curse leveled by the Baali. In the modern era, the Baali are in decline, having been hunted to near extinction by both the Camarilla and Sabbat. The Baali practice the unique Daimoinon discipline. Additionally, many practiced Dark Thaumaturgy, a name given to Thaumaturgy learned from demons.
