Structure, politics and groups
The Sabbat have a simple power structure. With the exception of Regent, most of these titles are not fixed, and some chose to assume different titles such as Deacon or Father instead of Bishop.
The base unit of the Sabbat is the Pack. A pack consists of a number of vampires working, existing and acting together. They enforce loyalty using a blood ritual known as the Vaulderie. New packs can be created should the need arise, for instance if many new recruits arrive in the City or if another pack falls in battle.

The Black Hand
A major military force, whose members are scattered across the world in packs. They can be called upon at any time to muster, but don’t remain active for very long. All of its members have a sigil shaped like a crescent moon on their right hand.
The Sabbat Inquisition
As opposed to the normal Inquisition, the Sabbat Inquisition act as the internal police of the Sect. It is their job to root out heretics and infernalists.
