The Sanguinista Movement is a faction of vampires that believe in a literal interpretation of the Vampire Bible. Vampire fundamentalists, these vampires are opposed to mainstreaming, and desire to topple the Authority for its centuries of oppression. They also believe that vampires should dominate humans instead of coexisting in peace. According to Roman Zimojic the Sanguinista have made Russell Edgington into their hero after he ripped out a man's spine on live television. He has become the poster boy for the anti-mainstreaming movement, their "Osama Bin Laden", even though Edgington is not a Sanguinista and cares nothing for Lilith.
