The Cainite Heresy are able to use their blood to cause the curse of Caine to hurt Vampires. They paint different parts of their body with blood and ask questions of the Target. The questions arent actually to the kindred but rather to their beast. Their endowment is called Called the Rites of Denial. The Cainite Heresy have a small vial of blood somewhere on them. This blood is a collection of at least 10 different members of the order. Without this vial, they can't cast any Rites. The Heretics tend to be cautious and try to lure kindred into traps.
Most heretics know one or two rites. Only grandmasters (of which there are less than 8) know more than 4
