The Broken Clan, Warlocks, Wizards, Magi, Usurpers, Grayfaces, Tremores ("Trembling Ones"), the Pyramid
The Clan of Tremere, although one of the younger vampiric clans, came into being during the Dark Ages. Despite their relatively brief existence, these Warlocks have swiftly risen to prominence within the vampire society and are arguably the most formidable clan in the modern nights. Their ascent to power can be attributed to their strict hierarchical structure, enigmatic nature, and mastery of Blood Sorcery, traits that provoke suspicion, fear, and admiration among other vampires. While aligned with the Camarilla, the Warlocks maintain a somewhat separate identity, serving as one of its principal defenders. Some even regard themselves as the next stage in the evolution of vampirism, supported by their unparalleled proficiency in blood magic and the absence of a conventional clan curse, which grants them extraordinary adaptability.
Disciplines: Auspex, Dominate, Blood Sorcery
Bane - Deficient Blood: The Tremere are no longer able to create Blood Bonds with other Kindred through normal means. A Tremere can still bind mortals and ghouls, though the corrupted vitae must be drunk an additional number of times equal to the vampire’s Bane Severity for the bond to form.
Organization
The Tremere clan boasts an unparalleled level of organization, with a clear hierarchy dictating the authority of each member. This structure presents a facade of unity and cooperation to outsiders, as most Cainites remain ignorant of the intricate Tremere inner politics and the true extent of their hierarchical system. At the pinnacle of this pyramid stands the founder and namesake of the clan, the mythical Antediluvian Tremere. However, few have ever witnessed his presence or observed his direct influence, leading some to question if he is a mere embodiment of the Tremere cause or a symbolic representation of their collective purpose.
Below the enigmatic Antediluvian, the significance of the number seven resonates throughout the Tremere hierarchy. The Inner Council of Seven, known as Councilors, holds true power within the clan. Each Councilor assumes responsibility for directing the clan's endeavors in a specific region of the world and appoints seven Pontifices.
Pontifices, in turn, govern larger territories such as portions of a nation or clusters of smaller countries and islands. Each Pontifex oversees seven Lords who utilize their influence and knowledge to sway Tremere affairs within their respective domains.
Lords bear the responsibility of governing small countries or groups of states, acting as influential figures who oversee the Tremere within their territories, particularly the Regents.
Regents, the most visible symbols of Tremere authority, preside over individual chantries and ensure their smooth operation.
Magisters, on the other hand, hold a different role within the hierarchy. They are trusted advisors who mediate inter-chantry disputes and provide guidance. Additionally, Magisters undertake the important task of educating and caring for the well-being of Apprentices.
Apprentices form the youngest and largest segment of the Tremere clan. Their time is primarily dedicated to training, serving the needs of their respective chantries, and navigating the clan's political landscape to the best of their inexperienced abilities. Some Apprentices remain at this rank indefinitely, either due to their focus on Camarilla politics or their personal affairs, or simply because the regional Lord deems it unnecessary to establish a new chantry and appoint a regent.
Acolytes represent those below the Apprentices, including Tremere who have yet to be fully accepted into the clan, awaiting their opportunity to prove their worth.
