The Ravnos are a fictional clan of vampires, from White Wolf's Vampire: The Masquerade books and role-playing games. Unlike most vampires, the Ravnos are associated with neither the Camarilla nor the Sabbat; much of the Ravnos symbology is Middle Eastern and Asian, and the organization is centered in India. In Europe, these vampires are associated with Gypsies. Their symbol is a pointed cross. White Wolf states, "The Ravnos ply the devil's deals...and woe to those...unable to pay the hidden costs...Ravnos...break [their] word at will." (VtM3 -- p.96) Even when compared to other vampires, Ravnos are not especially honorable; they are often compulsive gamblers and liars. They are capable of causing magical illusions.
