Although its use has died out since the Dark Ages, the term Cainite is used to refer to vampires. The word Cainite is used exclusively by vampires and recollects their descent from Caine, the Third Mortal and First Vampire. The term is more popular among members of the Sabbat than those of the Camarilla, who prefer the more innocuous Kindred. Vampires who do not believe they are descended from Caine likewise object to the term, and it does not apply to the Kuei-jin.
