History
Tamanier was embraced for one reason. To be the
stronghold of Tremere Knowledge. Upon his embrace he was instructed to
learn all he could about Tremere Rituals and Paths. The reason being was
that for a long time, the war between the Tzimisce and the Tremere was
in the balance. The plan was that if the Tremere were defeated, Tamanier
would disappear into the mountains and begin rebuilding the clan in
secret, teaching them everything he knew himself. Then, a virtual army
of sorcerers would sweep out of the mountains and destroy their
destroyers. This however proved unnecessary, but his duty still stood.
He was instructed by many teachers over the years, but his favourite was
his Sire and Mentor, Etrius. Even until this day, Tamanier is learning
new Rituals and Spells. What he learns, he hoards in the vaults of his
mind, and once in a century or two he will take on a single apprentice
and teach him some of what he knows.
His newest approach to learning new and old rituals and disciplines is
to create what he has called "The Regents Suite". This group is a select
group of Tremere who specialize in one of the Paths. The members of this
convention of Masters have been instructed to create new and innovative
Rituals related to their specialized Path. He will in turn learn the
Ritual from it's creator and add it to his regimen.
