Assamites, in a role-playing-game context, are a clan of fictional vampires, from White Wolf Game Studio's Vampire: The Masquerade books and role-playing games. In the original version of this clan the Assamites are a group of skilled, select assassins who often commit contract killings in exchange for the blood of other vampires. Even when compared to other vampires, the Assamite appear overly obsessed with blood, due to a clan weakness which causes an addiction to the blood of other vampires. The Assamite Clan is further subdivided into three castes; Warrior, Sorcerer, and Vizier.
