Ethics
• Follow your heart. Follow the Beast when necessary, but do not follow your fellow vampires--lead them.
• Develop your assets and hide your weaknesses. Show yourself as invincible.
• Support others on this Path as long as they do not oppose your own conquests.
• Never give quarter to the enemy and ask for none.
• Do not be influenced by mortal thoughts and morals. They are sources of weakness.
• Truth comes from within. Act on that truth to make the Sabbat more powerful.
• Failure is disgrace. Do not accept failure and punish it severely when it occurs.
• Competition develops inner strength.
• Use Monomacy to your advantage. Exposes weaknesses in others.
• Choose allies carefully. Never make long-term alliances.
• Treat those who follow you well. Use everyone for your own advancement.
• To leave this Path is to accept disgrace.
Do's and Don't
• Spend a great deal of your free time in self-contemplation or increasing your Abilities and Disciplines.
• Listen to everyone, but take only your own advice.
• Value power of all kinds. You believe power makes you stronger in more ways than one.
• Seek knowledge and wealth.
• Become a leader, not a follower.
• Treat underlings justly and superiors with respect (if they deserve it).
• Never be satisfied with what you have or what you can do.
• Manipulate others to your personal advantage.
• Be willing to bend and break rules that restrain you.
• Betray those close to you if it is completely necessary to follow the Inner Voice.
