eternal search to care about any kind of formal order that is not natural. They lead nomadic lives, constantly traveling to learn more about the origin of humankind, but in doing so, the more they lose touch with their own humanity due to their clan weakness. Akunanse maintain single dwellings among the kine, though an elder often makes do with any suitable den he finds along his travels. Elders who share animalistic traits with similar Akunanse might share their dens if appropriate, but most guard their solitary lairs with ferocious intensity. They have many features in common with Clan Gangrel, especially their weakness; like the Gangrel, the Akunanse gain animalistic features the longer they live. Unlike the Gangrel, however, the Akunanse gain theirs through experience; if they reside in an area for a long period and gain great knowledge there over time, they will eventually pick up a feature of an animal that is indigenous to the region. While a majority of the Akunanse maintain their control due to their changes, a few have been overwhelmed with their knowledge and lost themselves to the Beast. Many other Laibon believe the Akunanse waste their time in tracing fairy-tales and mock their bestial appearance. Most other Legacies view them as aloof and foolish.

They worship Damballah-Wedo, the Yoruban snake-god, and his wife Aida-Wedo, the rainbow serpent. Very few elder members remember or know of Set and their Egyptian relations. They attribute their supernatural powers to Damballah-Wedo and Aida-Wedo, and its members are promised that eventually they will become gods themselves. At one point in the early 20th century, the main clan tried to bring this bloodline back within its ranks, but the Children of Damballah refused, and they have been separated since. Guruhi Taking their name from the Gambian god from whom they claim to descend, the Guruhi believe themselves to be the masters of Africa, the rightful ruler of its lands
