Vampire Head Quarters

The Nosferatu bear an ancient and terrible curse, for they are no longer made in God's image; the vampiric transformation warps their forms, redndering them abominatio in the eyes of men and angels. Outcasts from mortal and vampire society alike, these misshapen horrors haunt the catacombs, wastes and other hidden places of the Dark Medieval world. Recently, as cities have grown, some Nosferatu have ended their exiel, but this is relatively uncommon; most other vampires still revile and condemn them. The members of Clan Nosferatu suffer the most visible curse of all. The Embrace hideously deforms them , twisting them into literal monsters. Nosferatu have reputations as information brokers and harvesters of secrets, as their horrid appearances have forced them to perfect their mystical ability to hide, sometimes in plain sight.

Tramps and thieves, the Ravnos are scattered like chaff on the wind throughout Europe. Every Country hosts a few, but where they can be found varies from night to night and whim to whim. Many travel with bands of roving tinkers or other undesirables. It is rare for more than one or two to be found in the same place at the same time, for they are solitary Cainites and prefer audiences and marks to company.

Descendents of the Gypsy Roma and their forebears in india, the ravnos vampires lead nomadic unlives. The Ravnos are also known for their ability to create amazing illusions, the better with wich to trick their marks. Many vampires persecute the Ravnos because of the chaos that follows these Kindred. The Ravnos return the scorn of their peers manyfold, holding other vampires in contempt.

From their beginning, the Toreador have always been devotees of beauty in all its forms. Beauty means so much more to them, for they devote the entirety of their vampiric senses to it, immersing themselves in the aesthetic, they consider themselves the preservers and guardians of the zxquisite, the veares of the flame of inspiration. Of all the clans, the Toreador are the ones who appreciate most the accomplishments of the human race. Prodigals of the Kindred, Cland toreador indulges in excess and degenarcy, all while claiming to maintain patronage of the arts. To a great degree, this patronage is true, as the clan claims many talented artists, musicians, writers, poets and other gifted creators. On the other hand the clan possesses just as many "poseurs," thes who fancy themselves great aesthetes but lack the ability to create at all.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once a cabal of mortal sorcerers, the Tremere became obsessed with the search for immortality to permit them time enough to perfect their craft for eternity. Their efforts proved fruitfull; altough it took the deaths of an elder Cainite and many of their apprentices, the cabal archieved eternal life - or so they thought. All thy had truly claimed was vampirism. No clan is so shrouded in deliberate mystery as the Tremere.The inventors and practitioners of terrible blood magics, the secretive Tremere heve a tightly knit political structure based on the acquisition of power. Some Kindred claim that the Tremere are not truly vampires at all but rather mortal wezards who cursed themselves for eternity while studying the secret of immortality.

Striding from battlefield to battlefield and throne room to throne room, the Ventrue are the knights and kings of the Cainite chessboard. Theirs are the conquests, the wars and the Crusaders; they rule from the manor houses and the throne rooms. Many were Conquerors in life and have yet to shake the habit in death while others achieved success as merchants or moneylenders. All triumphed, howevern and as a reward, were taken ,into Clan Ventrue. There are no failures among the Ventrue, only successes and the fondly remembered dead. the nominal leaders of the Camarilla, the Ventrue claim to have created and supported the organistion of the sect since its inception. Ventrue Kindred actively involve themselves in the Jyhad, in which they exercise their formidable influence over the doings of the kine. As reluctnt aristocracy of the Kindred, the Ventrue atone for their damnation by enforcing the Traditions and the Masquerade.
