Independent clans
https://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Independent_clan
Independent clans are major vampiric clans that claim descent from Caine, but no allegiance to any of the Cainite sects.
Overview
The notion of "independent clans" is one that only dates back to the formation of the Camarilla; in the Dark Medieval era before the rise of the modern sects, the only distinction between clans was that between the High and Low Clans. The four original independent clans in publication history were described as the Giovanni, the Followers of Set, the Assamite, and the Ravnos.
Note that most bloodlines are also independent, with a few exceptions. Several bloodlines are primarily allied with the Sabbat: the Ahrimanes, Blood Brothers, City Gangrel, Harbingers of Skulls and Kiasyd, as well as various outside clans' and bloodlines' antitribu (including the Country Gangrel, House Goratrix, the Panders, and the Serpents of the Light). The True Brujah, Nagaraja, and Old Clan Tzimisce were allied with the Tal'Mahe'Ra before that sect disintegrated. While Gargoyles are nominally independent, a number of them remain slaves of the Tremere and are thus affiliated with the Camarilla, if only by association.
Reason for Independence
Each clan's reason for independence varies: in the case of the Assamites and Giovanni, there are specific deals with the Camarilla that guarantee autonomy. The Followers of Set just weren't interested, and the Ravnos never participated in any party they could not crash first. Each clan also has certain eccentricities that separate them from the mainstream of Cainite culture - the Followers of Set, Ravnos, and Assamites all view Cainite vampires with a certain degree of disdain, and the Ravnos and Assamites in the West are effectively tips of an iceberg. There are far more Ravnos and Assamite vampires in their home territory and their structure is more complex there, not least because of a relative lack of Cainite competition in the area. As for the Giovanni, their goals are largely orthogonal to Cainite society and they are just as happy to be left alone.

Music from the Succubus Club is an audio CD that was released by Dancing Ferret Discs on March 20, 2000 as a soundtrack for Vampire: The Masquerade. Each of the album's thirteen tracks corresponds to one of the thirteen clans in Vampire. The album's cover art reuses the Clyde Caldwell illustration from the cover of the VTM: Vampire Players Guide Second Edition .
The in-universe conceit of the album is that it was compiled by DJ Damascus, a DJ at the Succubus Club. According to his liner notes, each of the thirteen tracks has a particular resonance with the clan indicated next to the track. The correspondence is inferred from the themes and lyrics of the songs, not the names of the bands that recorded them. (In other words, it's not a mistake that the song recorded by the band Nosferatu isn't the song that corresponds to the Nosferatu clan.)
- Music from the Succubus Club puts you dead-center in the middle of a writhing mass of bodies, undulating on the dancefloor to the seductive and passionate music pounding through the soundsystem of the most dangerous nightclub in the World of Darkness™.
- 13 exclusive new tracks by top international artists.
