History
The Children were founded thousands of years ago in India by Khetamon, the last surviving childe of Osiris; the Children thus believe that Osiris spent some of his existence as a vampire. They lived in small groups, sharing a haven which was also a temple to Osiris. They had to maintain the temple and follow Osiris' teaching devoutly to enjoy the benefits of being a Child of Osiris.
According to the Mummy: The Resurrection source book, when Osiris recently returned to Earth, he transformed all of the Children of Osiris into humans once more. However, a more canonical account - at least in terms of Vampire: The Masquerade is told in "Cairo by Night": Osiris was awakened when the last great Maelstrom swept through "amenti" destroying the Egyptian underworld. The remaining 'Children' judged by Osiris and were found wanting. All 'Children' 'spontaneously combusted' simultaneously. One was spared due to his purity. Abu Al-Intiqam, was rewarded with the removal of Caines curse, aging normally from that point, and retaining all of his years of knowledge and experience.
