Habe in der Newsgroup-Diskussion dazu, welche Baali denn in KMW wohl neu kommen könnten, dies gefunden:

And from White Wolf source materials there are several baali that come
after Maureen in the alphabets. Here are some of possible vampires.

1st guess:
Nergal and Moloch are the two named children of Saulot who spawned the
bloodline. According to the mythos Nergal has perhaps used also names
Shaitan, Adriel and Huitzilopochtli.

Hmmm... interessant, was alles so in der Wikipedia/WWW steht.

Auszug aus dem Baali-Artikel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baali

The Baali are infernalists who deal with the names of ancient beings that existed before the "Let there be Light" of Genesis. Baali legend says there was a group of people called the "First Tribe" who discovered the existence of those old ones and became their acolytes. They were degenerates, who murdered their parents and raped their children. One day, an unknown vampire (speculated to be Saulot, the Antediluvian father of the Salubri) encountered the First Tribe and killed every one of them, and then spread drops of his blood over their corpses. Only three (Nergal, Moloch and the Unknown Third) crawled out of the pit of bodies, and thus the vampiric bloodline Baali was created.

Von der Webseite mit den "Odd Clan Info": http://homepage.mac.com/ronromine/FAQ/g ... ninfo.html

In the ancient past there was a 4th generation Baali named Nergal, who believed Ashur (Cappadocius) to be the sire of the Baali Bloodline. Turned Infernalist, he was banished with his city by a combined forces of the non-Infernalist Baali and a group of Lasombra armed with lost powers of Obtenebration.

Years later, Nergal reappeared. Concealing his true identity, he took the name of Shaitan, and claimed to be the sire of the Baali's three Progenitors. The truth was discovered, and Nergal was stopped.

Since that time, Nergal or someone else, has been creating false Shaitans. These false Shaitans are armed with Baali powers, and secret Baali knowledge. Many appear to truly believe they are the real Shaitan. (They appear to be mind wiped, washed and polished.)

Und zu der "historischen" Figur Nergal http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nergal:

The name Nergal (or Nirgal or Nirgali) refers to a deity in Babylonia with the main seat of his cult at Cuthah (or Kutha) represented by the mound of Tell-Ibrahim. Nergal is mentioned in the Hebrew bible as the deity of the city of cuth (Cuthah): "And the men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal" (2 Kings, 17:30).

Nergal actually seems to be in part a solar deity, sometimes identified with Shamash, but a representative of a certain phase only of the sun. Portrayed in hymns and myths as a god of war and pestilence, Nergal seems to represent the sun of noontime and of the summer solstice which brings destruction to mankind, high summer being the dead season in the Mesopotamian annual cycle. Nergal was also the deity who presides over the nether-world, and who stands at the head of the special pantheon assigned to the government of the dead (supposed to be gathered in a large subterranean cave known as Aralu or Irkalla). In this capacity he has associated with him a goddess Allatu or Ereshkigal, though at one time Allatu may have functioned as the sole mistress of Aralu, ruling in her own person. In some texts the god Ninazu is the son of Nergal by Allatu/Ereshkigal.

So der letzte Link für heute ist dann über die Baali Geschichte (Nergal wird aber nur am Rande erwähnt:

The event is going to be announced sometime in the next couple of
weeks. The discussion of dates has only been for the purpose of aiding
event coordinators with planning roughly when their events will happen.
