Category:Ventrue

Know as ‘Blue Bloods’, the Kindred of the Ventrue are seen as the most honorable, genteel and tasteful of all the clans. They have, from the beginning, been the leaders of the Camarilla, enforcing the traditions and shaping the society. In nights past the Ventrue took their stock for nobility successful merchant princes. Today, they choose successful businessmen, politicians, and from already established rich families. They are often seen as arrogant for their staunch belief in order, stability, and the Masquerade, but this is the burden they are willing to take. They believe without their sacrifice and leadership, there would be no Masquerade and no stability. Reputation and achievement takes a Kindred in the clan a long way; however, none of that counts if he lacks the influence to use it. Most are quick to slant the Ventrue as pompous tyrants, but the majority of the time it is the Ventrue that is gone to for help. Their influence can range anywhere from the media right thought to the church. They are the lords of the Camarilla and the will have it no other way.

For example: children, virgins, bald men, clergy etc. They are unable to feed form anything other than their chosen type, no matter what; however, they can feed from other vampires freely and without constraint.

Clan Disciplines: Dominate, Fortitude, Presence.

Ventrue Antitribu
In the beginning, before the Sabbat and the Camarilla, the Ventrue were once noble warriors, paladins and knights of pure virtue and chivalry. The Ventrue Antitribu describe how this changed during the Anarch revolt. Certain Ventrue saw it as an opportunity to strike out against the corruption of their elders, seeing them as greedy sell-outs who turned their backs on the true ways in order form power and wealth. The Ventrue Antitribu, also known as ‘Crusaders’, are the closet things to the Knights of old, chivalrous paladins sworn to fight against the Antediluvians and bring down the decadence of the Camarilla. Despite their noble intentions and the violence they are surrounded in with in the Sabbat, the Ventrue Antitribu support the Sword of Cain to the very end. They see mortals as cattle and there to be used in the service of their goals.
