Anarchs are vampires who reject the
status quo of Cainite society. The resulting organization of anarchs
is called the Anarch Movement.
The Anarchs especially resent the
privileged status held by elders within the Camarilla and other
vampire sects; when the eldest hold the most power in a society of
immortals, the lot of neonates is not a happy one. The Anarchs
themselves are not a sect, per se; in most areas, they are simply a
faction on the fringes of the dominant Camarilla hierarchy. However,
a loosely-organized Anarch Movement has emerged over the course of
the past century, and has begun to establish its own traditions,
power blocs, territories, and all the other trappings of a
full-fledged sect.
Anarchs are often targeted for
recruitment by the Sabbat, but most respect the Masquerade and some
of the other Traditions, even if they do not respect the vampires who
enforce them or the system that benefits from them. Anarchs, like all
vampires, are considered members of the Camarilla by default, but
unlike the Sabbat they are tolerated, as per the terms of the
Convention of Thorns.
The Anarch's historical origins lie in
the Anarch Revolt that birthed the Sabbat, but in the modern nights
they are mostly an unorganized rabble of younger vampires and
Caitiff. "Anarch" was originally a name imposed upon them
by Camarilla elders, since they sought to overthrow the leadership
structures of Cainite society, but while many Anarchs are indeed
anarchists, the more traditional desire has been to bring equality
and some sort of democracy to Kindred society.
