Siduri Sabitu
　In the early days of mankind, Children of Gaia heroes were in constant contact with human healers. They all prayed together, and received direct revelation from the Mother. Siduri Sabitu created an extensive network of priestesses to carry her words to the land, and warn people of the corrupting influence of vampires and Wyrm minions. At that time, the Leeches preyed on the locals with impunity, and were gaining political control of Sumeria.
　The Garou clamored for the heads of any kings who sided with the vampires. They launched an all-out war against the Leeches and their puppets, who were defiling the burgeoning civilizations. Siduri knew that the Garou would be doomed to lose their war against the vampires, since Leeches can manufacture legions of undead overnight. She feared the arrival of the Apocalypse.
　She counseled that the Garou instead work to influence the mortal kings. The Garou refused, saying that they could never match the serpentine subtlety of vampires in statecraft. Besides, what had they to offer a king who has been offered immortality and absolute power? Siduri reproved them, saying that they had fallen into their enemies’ game. What the Garou had to offer was better than the Leeches' gift.
　She proved this by showering King Gilgamesh with all the pleasures of life in the most delectable manner possible. Dazzled, the great king chose life over undeath. He could not bring himself to give up the pleasures of the living flesh for all the power in the world. He rejected the vampires, and organized the humans against the outraged Leeches.
　This turn of events prevented the vampires from gaining total control of the first city, and gave the Garou time to regroup. Many generations later, the Leeches caused the downfall of this kingdom. But an organized anti-vampire resistance was born in humans that long outlasted the city. Due to Siduri's actions, humans have an inborn suspicion of vampires that carries even into the modern era of science and the vampiric Masquerade.
