The Del'Roh is the supreme leader of the True Black Hand (Tel'mahe'Ra), and oversees the entire sect. Since the Treaty of Enoch that reunited the Eastern and Western halves of the Black Hand in the 1700s, the Del'Roh has been selected by the eldest and most powerful and wise of Black Hand Kindred. The current Del'Roh has held the position ever since, over 250 years. All those who join the True Black Hand drink the blood of the Del'Roh, at least one seraph, and several other Hand members, forming a Vinculum.
