The Lasombra are a fictional clan of vampire's, associated with the Sabbat.
The Lasombra are in many ways the Sabbat's answer to the Ventrue Clan. They are invariably talented and have a commanding air about them; even when they are not selected from aristocratic stock, they are skilled manipulators, tempters and plotters. They have the ability to create and control shadows (appropriate, given that their name comes from the for "the shadow"), but unlike other vampires, the Lasombra do not cast reflections in mirror's or other surfaces, and are even more susceptible to sunlight than any other Cainites (with the exception of the Followers of Set).
The Lasombra clan's unique discipline is Obtenebration, which allows them to manipulate shadows and even the unformed substance of the primordial void, known as the Abyss. The effects they can create range from causing flittering shadows which have actual substance, transforming their own bodies into an expression of darkness and emptiness, and even the ability to temporarily submerge a small area of the immediate environment into the Abyss itself.
Some Lasombra share with their clan founder's affinity for the ocean, often staring at the ocean or taking long sea voyages. Many Lasombra antitribu even live at sea, as pirates along waterways historically dominated by Spanish, Italian, or Portuguese colonialism and trade. The European capital of clan Lasombra is Medina, on the island of Malta.
The Lasombra practice the unique discipline of Obtenebration.
