Brujah: These vampires were once warrior/scholars, yet now, are commonly rebels and punks, and dress accordingly (much like the vampires seen in "The Lost Boys" movie). A smaller class of Brujah remain intellectual individualists, who are at odds with their own society.
Gangrel: These Kindred are closer to nature than any other of the clans, and are able to shape-change into animal forms, such as a wolf or bat. Many are rustic in appearance and prefer a life of solitude.
Malkavian: All of the other Clans believe this vampire clan to be insane, but even in this, they know that Malkavians possess a unique wisdom. Malkavians are the most varied and enigmatic of all the clans. Delilah Dark is a Malkavian. And, although he would never admit it, even to himself, so is Dr. Tumblety. You can find out more about them here.
Nosferatu: Hideous in physical appearance, (they resemble vampires as seen in "Salem's Lot" and "Nosferatu"), this Clan lives apart from other Kindred, but holds secrets of many of the preternatural inhabitants of the city. A good source of information.
Toreador: The Toreador see themselves as artists. They are a proud and regal Clan, often highly excitable, with expensive tastes and dressing in the latest fashions. Lestat is of course a Toreador, regrettably. Justin Crowe, while atypical, is also a Toreador. The Buzzard is also a member of this Clan.
Tremere: These vampires are warlocks who have gained immortality through their ancient magics. They are extremely tightly-knit, and keep their powers closely guarded.
Ventrue: Regarded by many as the leaders of the Camarilla, the Ventrue consider themselves vampiric nobility, are old-fashioned and tradition bound, and believe in good taste above all else.
Assamites: The Crusaders brought back many tales from the Holy Land, some of which concerned a band of fanatical killers. The word the Europeans coined for these silent murders was assassin. The Cainites, however, already knew of a similar but far more dangerous threat from Araby - the diabolists of Clan Assamite.
Followers of Set: There are few vampires who would willingly grant hospitality to a Follower of Set, and for good reason. The Settites, as they call themselves, are servants of darkness and corruption incarnate. The clan's ultimate goal is to corrode the ethics away from humanity and Cainites alike, creating a surfeit of slaves for themselves and their dark master.
Giovanni: No other clan is more intent on maintaining a front of respectability than the Giovanni, and none is more skilled in the Arts of Death. Giovanni vampires are rich merchants, speculators, and investors who spend most of their nights manipulating their vast assets from skyscraper offices. They spend the rest of their nights in crypts and mausoleums carrying out their dark and morbid rites.
Ravnos: Tramps and thieves, the Ravnos are scattered throughout Europe like chaff on the wind. Every country host a few, but where they can be found varies from night to night and whim to whim. Many travel with bands of roving thieves or other undesirables. It is rare from 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.
Salubri: This widely hated bloodline has far more enemies than it truly deserves. Only seven of these Cainites exist at any one time, for after a Salubri attains Golconda, she ends her existence and passes her blood to the individual she has chosen to take her place. Almost none survive for more than a few hundred years, for the Salubri consider vampiric existence to be agony. These vampires can usually pass as humans until someone notices that they possess a third eye.
Daughters of Cacophony: The Daughters are a distinctly modern phenomena despite their classical name. No Kindred claims to have heard of them before the 1700s, and if they had existed, vampires feel sure they would have known. The Daughters are such masters of song that most Kindred believe they are an offshoot of the Toreador, though those who have experienced their powers firsthand think that the Malkavians had more influence.
