CLAN TREMERE
Excerpts taken from the V:TM book by White Wolfe

The members of this clan are dedicated and extremely well organized. Others, however, think them as arcane and untrustworthy. They are aggressive, highly intellectual and manipulative, and respect only those who struggle and persevere despite all odds. The Tremere believe they must use the other clans in order to prosper. "Be friendly with them, let them think that we are one with them, but never forget that we server our clan first and foremost," the Tremere elders whisper to their progeny. "If you must use your friends in service to the clan, then you know that your time was not wasted."

Nickname: Warlocks

Appearance: Tremere traditionally wear black coats or even cloaks with high, upturned collars and arcane symbols sewn on the lining. Though this is no longer universal, they still prefer black, impressive-looking clothing (such as the pinstripe power suit). Many Tremere also carry props such as canes; some of these "ornaments" are rumored to be potent mystical talismans.

Haven: The Tremere clan operates a chantry in almost every city where it has members. All those of the Tremere clan are welcome in a chantry. Those who live on their own have a wide variety of accomodations.

Background: They choose the most aggressive and ambitious people s their neonates, preferring males. They carefully train and nurture them for years, calling them "apprentices"

Character Creation: Tremere usually have professional and highly educated concepts and their Natures and Demeanors tend to be archetypes connected with power or science. Mental Attributes are primary, as are Knowledge Abilities. They often have the Mentor Background Trait.

Clan Disciplines: Auspex, Dominate, Thaumaturgy

Weaknesses: Tremere neonates must all drink from the blood of the seven elders of the clan when they are created. This means that all Tremere are at least one step toward being Blood Bound to the clan, and therefore must watch their step very carefully when around their leaders.

Organization: The Tremere are tightly organized and very hierarchical. The younger members are expected to obey the older ones without question, but this is not as strong a tenet as it once was.

Quote: "We must survive Gehenna and establish the tenets of the new world order once the horror is overcome. If we are to succeed, we must control the other clans. No more time can be wasted. If they cannot be convinced to aid us, they must be forced."
