Editing LeviathanTempest:ChapterThree (section)

==== Lahmasu Retainer (O–OOOOO) ====

Your character has a single Lahmasu Retainer. See WoD Core P116 for the Retainer Merit. Your retainer may come from any Lahmasu Strain or even be a Hybrid. A Lahmasu Retainer has a Depth between one and the number of dots spent in this Merit, players choice. Assign Mutations and any Flaws as normal. Players may choose to have their Lahmasu retainer as a Beloved for no extra cost, though if they choose not to they should justify how their Retainer managed to avoid becoming Beloved.

The difference between a Lahmasu Cultist and a Lahmasu retainer is mostly one of narrative. Cultists are assumed to be interchangeable while a Retainer is a unique character in the story with his or her own personality. Players who have a Cult should feel free to use this Merit to represent important members of their Cult such as a high priest. If they do so this Merit will not have any effect on rolls using Zeal or Fervor such as Cult Tasks.  

The same optional rules used for Beloved Retainer can be applied to Lahmasu Retainer. Again this is only at the storytellers discretion.
