A. Caitiff did not contribute to the foundation of the Camarilla, end the Anarch Revolt, or extinguish the fires of the Inquisition.

Q. The Book of Nod says that a Caitiff Prince prefigures Gehenna.
A. Caitiff cannot be Prince under the rulings of the 1998 Chicago Conclave. Camarilla law is not based on superstitious mysticism.
