The Tal'mahe'Ra are a fictional sect of vampires, composed of several clans and bloodlines, from White Wolf Game Studio's Vampire: The Masquerade books and role-playing games. The sect is often confused with the Black Hand.

The so called True Black Hand is very secretive and mysterious, with infiltrators in many other sects. Dedicated to bringing about Gehenna and the return of the Antediluvians, these vampires hope to serve the ancients and gain positions as favoured servants.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

The extent of Tal'mahe'Ra power and infiltration is debatable, due to the very nature of the sect. In any case the question may be considered academic as the heart of the Tal'mahe'Ra was eviserated at the start of the Fifth Maelstrom in the shadowlands. The surviving servants have quietly blended into the sects they once infiltrated.
