Yeah, but each clan seeks some specific qualities in those who they want to embrace. The Lasombra search for strong and agressive individuals, politically inclined and with positions of power. Canon!Harry doesn't fit.

 

This? This needs to happen. It earns my seal of approval.

 

I dunno. Harry is a well-known celebrity (canon) with significant connections in the magical world (canon = has ties to Dumbledore and the Order, as well as influential schoolmates, and knows more than a few secrets about political rivals) and has a legitimate grudge against the Ministry and, at the end of OotP, Dumbledore himself. Fanon facts that could help this out include lots of money, hard political power, and various over-qualified allies with specialized and incredibly useful skills, though these are pretty much cliches by now.

Wouldn't take much for a Lasombra to see this and decide to create in Harry a very visible monster out of an icon of the Light in order to distract attention from the Sabbat's activities in England or a subtle inside man, so to speak, to prepare for a Sabbat incursion or to protect Sabbat assets.

 

Well, if you put it that way... Still, in canon, and despite the connections he has, Harry is more of an underdog than an important leader of the light. He's easily manipulated and unnecessarily brash. He lacks cunning and is a bit too naive and dependant on others for his own good.

The Sabbat demands independence and strength, if not, you will be "purged". Despite the harshness and the trauma of the Sabbat embrace, Canon!Harry would still be too much of an emo pussy to take matters in his own hands and make himself a place in the ranks of the sect.

That, of course, can be corrected through a well written evolution or an AU beginning, but I still think that other clans would be more interested in him than others. For a story, like others said, Toreador, Giovanni, Caitiff and maybe Tremere (like I did in my story) would be the clans that would suit him and his traits better, and perhaps would permit to develop a story without putting so much strain on the canon base for the story.

 

Well, I don't read fanfic to see canon!Harry.

The story I was proposing would be much more in the vein of Vash's Lust of a Dark Soul. Not so much a character study of Harry's descent into darkness as it would be a fun little post-OotP AU set several years in the future, likely even after the defeat of Voldemort, that showcases some political intrigue, savage gutting of enemies, and various other atrocities that I longed for afte I read This Means War.

It was really a throwaway comment, but I still think it has possibilities for a good, short story or longish one-shot.

Although, if you're still not sold on Lasombra, I think Brujah would the qualities you listed above.

 

Nah, if he's going to be Sabbat, go with Tzimisce. What's that Tonks? You're a metamorph? Fix this bitch! He could really fuck bitches up with Vicissitude.

 

Me neither, but I was just considering if it would be better to start from a point in canon, or write a complete AU. If you started from a concrete point in canon, it would be difficult to turn Harry into a proper Lasombra and make it believable. Just that. I like the idea of Sabbat!Harry, but you should also consider the motivations and traits of both Kindred and Harry.

Although if yu want to make a truly "Vash-like" kindred!Harry, make him to be a Nagaraja.

"Is that a chunk of Voldemort between my fangs?"

"He tasted like chicken"

Now that would be lulz.
