	For many centuries Clan Senya held the [[Great Deception of Clan Senya (WoD)\|Great Deception]]. Pretending to be members of other clans, the Clan kept its existence a secret from the other Clans, building their powerbases and influencing events secretly. Internally, the clan operated much like a mortal intelligence agency, with clandestine meetings, alternate identities and secret messages - but with a controlling structure and roles and titles. Many of these titles had been around since before the Great Deception, others developed during the Deception, and yet others were formalised after that Clan ended the Great Deception, as part of its new role in the Camarilla.

	Many of the titles overlap, or conflict with Camarilla titles. For example, a Senya may be the Primogen of a Camarilla city, having a seat on the Prince's council and thus representing the clan; yet may have an older kindred who has no formal Camarilla title holding the position of Patriarch, or perhaps first-amongst-equals. This means whilst this kindred may have great status within the Camarilla, the Clan would expect him to be subservient to his superior.		Many of the titles overlap, or conflict with Camarilla titles.

	A member of the clan who specialises in disguising themselves as another – usually a member of another clan - in order to infiltrate an organisation or spy on another group or sect for the clan. Phantoms are often thought of as being the “black ops” of the clan, doing jobs under guises of others so that the clan can have deniability. Therefore many Phantoms are Shadows and were investigators, assassins or able manipulators even during their mortal lives. Many Epitheorit (Enforcers) function as Phantoms in the short-term, and many Epitheorit are recruited from the ranks of the Phantoms. By appointment, Phantoms serve as double agents for the clan – and their sacrifice and bravery is respected, as they often operate with little to no clan support deep in hostile domains, where the consequences of being caught by Setites, Giovanni or Sabbat are unpleasant and fatal, if the Phantom is lucky. Phantoms liaise with and fall under Epitheorits (Enforcers), who monitor many of their activities, especially those Phantoms in the Sabbat, which is a hard role for them to lead due to the Vaulderie. ~~Most~~ Phantoms, especially those who infiltrate the Sabbat, are ~~usually~~ taught the Sanguinary Expulsion combination discipline, and the Personal Masquerade merit and Alternate Identity backgrounds are highly prized.

	Like Knights, several subtypes of Phantoms are recognised, representing the purpose and skillsets of each Phantom although, in practice, they are far more mutable than that of Knights and the specific specialisation they use is often a quick indicator of their current focus, though not necessarily a permanent one. For example, Kisa was a Phantom for many years, but became a Wraith during the 2016 Ashford Sabbat Crusade. Since becoming Whip of Clan Senya requires her to remain in Ashford, she has now become a Shade. Phantom subtitles are usually only used within the Clan (and often, only with other Phantoms or Boule members) but rarely with those outside the clan. Secrecy, after all, is the tradecraft of the Phantoms.

	* '''Spectre:''' The clan officially denies the existence of Spectres as an official acknowledgement and sanction of their existence would violate the terms of the clan's membership agreement with the Camarilla. They function much like Phantoms, except they infiltrate Camarilla clans, pretending to be a member of their own, and spy on them internally to learn their ways and steal their secrets for the good of the clan. Spectres are highly respected because, if caught, the clan will disavow their actions and have to publicly punish the Spectre, if they survive the wrath of the infiltrated clan and possibly Camarilla repercussion if they broke any Traditions. Spectres often serve as generic Phantoms or Wraiths (especially, as they are deployed less long-term than Phantoms or Shades), especially in an official capacity (for clan deniability) unless being deployed on a mission. Members of both factions are known to become Spectres - the deceptive nature of the job appeals slightly more to the Children of the Dark, but Children of the Light usually find it easier to infiltrate the Camarilla Clans.		* '''Spectre:''' The clan officially denies the existence of Spectres as an official acknowledgement and sanction of their existence would violate the terms of the clan's membership agreement with the Camarilla.

	Just as Lorekeepers and Knights are their own faction, the esprit de corps between the various types of Phantoms has also resulted in their becoming a faction within the clan. This faction usually involves mutual support, information exchange and collaboration, such as Wraiths taking out prime targets located by Phantoms. This faction is simply known as ''Ta Fántasma (The Phantoms)'' regardless of focus/expertise.

	There is only ever one current Presider – this is the chosen Kindred to act as head of the Ekklesia. The Presider determines what direction the clan will follow, handles formal relationships with outsiders and acts as final arbiter in all matters. The Presider is chosen by and from the Ekklesia and therefore also has the responsibilities and duties of an Ekklesiast. The Presider is also expected to hold the clan’s seat in the Camarilla’s Ruling Council unless they choose to appoint another in their stead – but as there has only been two Presiders in the clan’s history, only one since the clan joined the Camarilla, how this will develop has yet to be seen.

	The Ekklesia, or Assembly, is the governing body of the clan – also sometimes known in the modern nights as the Inner Council – which debate any clan-wide-affecting decisions. Ekklesiasts are elected from the ranks of the Prytaneis (Executives) partly by other members of the Ekklesia, and in large part chosen by lottery in a process called sortition. Each of the Ekklesia positions relates to one of the six major continents and whilst they have an equal vote on Ekklesia conclaves, the actual power and responsibility they control vary tremendously – for example, the Ekklesiast for Europe is more influential and has a greater responsibility than the Ekklesiast for Australasia, given the historical significance of Greece and the Old World to our Clan, and the larger number of Senya there over Australasia.

	* '''Ekklesiast (Africa):''' Unjongo Hamsou (CoL) – Covers both North and South Africa.
