Sanctum: Momma Bamba's House
The second oldest cabal in the city, the Children of Bondye were originally a voodoo cult with an abolitionist agenda under Mary Pleasant, a Liberatore, and her husband J.J., a Bokor. With the death of her husband, his student Thomas Bell became her lover and co-leader of the cabal. It controlled two hallows, the former's boarding house and the latter's mansion. With the unexpected death of Thomas just before the turn of the century, the cabal lost control of his hallow to his widow, who was jealous of Mary's hold over him. His students opted to leave the cabal and formed Saturday's House in Colma, following the exodus of cemetaries. The Children continued to lose power and influence with her death in 1904 and the subsequent earthquake, which allowed the Chosen of Ti-Tsang to seize her hallow to replace their own, which went dormant during the disaster. The cabal was forced to merge with the remains of the Sin-Eaters in order to gain access to their hallow in the Mission District, where they have been ever since.
Since the 70s, the cabal has taken on a more Santeria bent under Momma Bamba. It still supports the poor and disenfranchised, through criminal means if necessary, and does much for the local community. One of the things the cabal focuses on is spiritual health and they have often worked together with the Caballeros Dolores to deal with spiritual blights and cases of possession.
The cabal's core legacies were originally the Liberatores and Bokor, but over the years they have changed to be the Scions of God and Clavicularius.
