''Antediluvians'' is a term used by White Wolf Publishing in their fictional role-playing game set in the World of Darkness, ''Vampire: The Masquerade'', which is now owned and published by Onyx Path Publishing. According to in-game legends, antediluvians are the vampires of the Third Generation. Supposedly they were created by Caine's firstborn ''childer'', Enoch, Irad and Zillah. Game lore holds there to be thirteen of them, and their sins are to blame for God causing the Great Deluge. From each of these vampires come the thirteen original clans: Assamites, Brujah, Cappadocians, Followers of Set, Gangrel, Lasombra, Malkavians, Nosferatu, Ravnos, Salubri, Toreador, Tzimisce and Ventrue. The game's lore mentions that each clan's weaknesses comes from a curse Caine set upon the Antediluvian founders of the clan. Apocrypha of the ''Book of Nod'' imply that there may be other unknown antediluvians who never sired. ==Absimilliard== *Nictuku: The nosferatu clanbook has it that Absimilliard blood-bound all of his childer except for one woman, embraced in a moment of passion, who managed to run away. All Nosferatu are said to be descended from her. Absimilliard's other descendants are the Nictuku: massively powerful and vastly hideous monsters who seek to destroy the Nosferatu by their founder's will. It is their existence that drives the Nosferatu to gather information. 〔Hatch, Robert (1993). ''Clanbook: Nosferatu'' (ISBN 1-56504-064-3)〕〔McFarland, Matthew (2000). "To Grandmother's House".

Led by the fifth-generation Tarique, their philosophical outlook is sufficiently different that is has separated them from their clan as a distinct bloodline, and they have very different disciplines including thaumaturgical powers that emulate True Faith. 〔Soulban, Lucien (1996).
