Ventrue
Elegant, aristocratic and regal, the Ventrue are the lords
of the Camarilla. It was Clan Ventrue that provided the
cornerstone of the Camarilla, and it is Clan Ventrue that
directs and coaxes the Camarilla in its darkest hours. Even in
the modern age, the majority of princes descend from Clan
Ventrue. The Ventrue would, of course, have things no other
way. In the tradition of noblesse oblige, the Ventrue must lead
the other clans for their own good.
In ancient nights, Ventrue were chosen from nobles,
merchant princes or other wielders of power. In modern times
the clan recruits from wealthy “old-money” families, ruthless
corporate climbers, and politicians. Although Ventrue move
in the same social circles as the Toreador, they do not fritter
away their existences in frivolity and idle chatter. The Ventrue
proudly wear the privileges of leadership, and stoically bear its
burdens. Thus has it always been; thus shall it always be.
