CLANS

This page will give a brief description of each of the clans
found within VtM. New clans will be added when I find them.
So read on and find out a little
about this part of White Wolf's VtM!

ASSAMITE - These are the paid assassins of the vampire world.They will travel anywhere in the world to take out their targets and they are paid in blood by their contractors. Their disciplines, Celerity, Obfuscate and Quietis, are most useful in searching out their targets. They are also a very close knit clan.

ASSAMITE ANTRIBUTE - These are the Sabbat or evil side of the clan. They have all the same disciplines and usually are created to go into the Black Hand, (unless of course their name is Frank) a Sabbat organization that also takes on contracts. These vampires are not as closely bound as their Camarilla brothers.

BRUJAH - These are the rebels of the Camarilla. They are the aggressive street thugs and hellions. Although occasionally you will find a Brujah who is more of a philosopher. Their disciplines include: Celerity, Potence and Presence. Generally speaking these disciplines work well for those who live their unlives in the streets.

BRUJAH ANTRIBUTE - These Sabbat Brujah are quite similar in nature to their Camarilla counterparts. They share the same disciplines but are more likely to frenzy or lose control than the Brujah. (unless of course their name is Eric)

CAITIFF - These are the clanless of the Camarilla. They may have any combination of disciplines.

FOLLOWERS OF SET - The Setites, as they are known, are found within both factions but seem to belong to neither. They are mistrusted within the Camarilla because of their perceived immoral natures. Their disciplines include: Obfuscate, Presence and Serpentiis. All of these are useful in their night to night activities.

GANGREL - These are the wanderers of the Vampire world. They rarely stay in one place unless they have a purpose or mission to complete. Disciplines of this clan are: Animalism, Protean and Fortitude. All of these are necessary for their solitary lifestyle.

GANGREL ANTRIBUTE - Sabbat Gangrel are divided into two categories. Both are one of the more honorable sects within the Sabbat, differing only in their disciplines which are designed to best serve them in their given territories. City Gangrels use Celerity, Obfuscate and Protean whereas Country Gangrels share the same disciplines as their Camarilla counterparts.

GIOVANNI - This clan seems to place itself wherever it is most profitable to do so. They are the financiers of the Vampire world are always blood related before their embrace. Their disciplines are: Dominate, Necromancy and Potence.

LASOMBRA - This is a Sabbat clan who tend to be leaders in some way or form. They are aggressive and sneaky. (right Will?) Their disciplines include: Dominate, Obtenebration and Potence. Unfortunately for this clan their weakness is a very obvious one. Like the movies, these vampires cannot be seen in mirrors nor can they be photographed.

MALKAVIAN - These are the insane of the Vampire world. Although if you ask them, they are the only sane ones, the rest of the world is nuts. Their disciplines: Auspex, Dominate and Obfuscate, sometimes allow them to drag others into their insanity for awhile. Their purpose...as far as I can see...to provide levity because they are such amusing characters to see played.

MALKAVIAN ANTRIBUTE - A more hilarious evil version of the former with different disciplines: Auspex, Dementation and Obfuscate.

NOSFERATU - The spies of the underworld, these are the most hideously ugly beings you have ever seen but if you wish to know anything and everything these are your guys. Disciplines are: Obfuscate, Animalism and Potence.

NOSFERATU ANTRIBUTE - These guys are pretty similar to their Camarilla counterparts, sharing both their disciplines and their urge to know everything. (right Josh?)

PANDERS - The Sabbat counterpart to the Caitiff. Any disciplines are possible. (hey Gary!)

RAVNOS - Similiar to the Gangrel in their heritage, they are wanderers, they nonetheless bump heads with them. This could be due to the fact that the Ravnos are considered to be the riff-raff of the Vampire world. They are by nature, con men and women. Their disciplines are: Animalism, Chimerstry and Fortitude.

RAVNOS ANTRIBUTE - A con man is a con man. Same disciplines apply.

TOREADOR - These are the artists, the party-goers, the socialites of the underworld. Beauty in all its forms is of special interest to this clan. Their disciplines: Auspex, Celerity and Presence.

TOREADOR ANTRIBUTE - Same disciplines apply here but whereas the Camarilla version prefer beauty, these guys are a little macabre in their preferences.

TREMERE - An extremely well organized group these Vampires practise Auspex, Dominate and Thaumaturgy. They are extremely clan oriented and bound together in their quest for power.

TREMERE ANTRIBUTE - Hated by their Camarilla counterparts, they still share the same disciplines. Their role in the Sabbat: Advisors.

TZIMISCE - A Sabbat clan, these guys are noted for their twisted practises and cruelty.(although this is not always the case, right Josie?)Their disciplines are Animalism, Auspex and Vicissitude and they are one of the oldest clans in the Sabbat.

VENTRUE - If the Toreador are the socialites then the Ventrue are the politicians of the Vampire world. Their role seems to be to establish leadership and order for the world in which they live. Clan disciplines: Dominate, Fortitude and Presence.

VENTRUE ANTRIBUTE - Seemingly the opposite of their Camarilla counterparts they dislike order and enjoy disobedience whenever possible. Disciplines include: Auspex, Dominate and Fortitude.
