Clan Description

Even among vampires, the insular Clan Tremere bears a reputation for treachery. This reputation is well earned; the Tremere were formerly a cabal of human wizards who, hungering for immortal life, wrested the secrets of vampirism from unwilling Kindred. Such vile deeds earned the clan a sinister reputation; even today, certain vampire clans would love nothing better than to destroy the entire Tremere line.

Nonetheless, Clan Tremere holds a place in the Camarilla, for its members were instrumental in suppressing the Inquisition and supporting the Masquerade. Then, too, the Tremere have proved themselves dangerous enemies and powerful allies. Tremere still practice a version of the arcane arts they studied in life, and so these warlocks use their sorcerous powers in service to the Camarilla almost as much as they use the Camarilla in service to themselves.

The Chantry is our clans library, place of study and most importantly our elysium. It is based in the city of angels, in what still is St.Patricks Cathedral. Contrary to the modern skyline of downtown LA, this old cathedral sits majestic and alluring with all its gothic beauty. The amiable and compliant Father Syd presides over the services, often being found in his office late at night to accommodate those unable to attend during the day. Unknown to the faithful kine, he has been ghouled by the Tremere to use as a pawn for access to the church’s ancient tomes – and to bodies…

It may not be common knowledge that the Tremere were a powerful group even before they became vampires. In fact, the use of Thaumaturgy (the ability to use magic which sets this clan apart) is not vampiric as most other disciplines are. House Tremere (a group of around 75 members) was part of an organization called The Order of Hermes, a mage group which existed through most of the Dark Ages throughout Transylvania.

It was at a meeting around the year 1022 A.D. when a group of seven Mages finally attained immortality through drinking a concoction made of altered vampire blood. Tremere, the leader of the Order of Hermes, saw the potential immediately, and theorized about the possibilities of becoming an actual vampiric clan - on par with the antediluvian clans. Both he and Goratrix concluded that in order to achieve that kind of power, one must consume and assimilate the life force of one of the ancient vampires. Tremere did just that.

Today, though Tremere is unlive and well, the clan is generally run by members of the Council. The Council follows the Code set up by Tremere; and dissension between members is nearly unheard of.
