Brujah

The dream of the learned clan is a world where all injustice has been eliminated and the living and the undead can coexist in peace.

Gangrel

A hunger older than mankind burns inside the wolves.

Malkavian

Psychologists would diagnose the children of Malkav with schizophrenia, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, or post-traumatic stress disorder.

Nosferatu

For the Nosferatu the Embrace is a journey through abjection, as the Blood of the horror gradually deforms the tissues of the human body into grotesque abominations.

Toreador

Cursed by their unbridled sensuality, the divas are obsessed by aesthetic perfection.

Tremere

A Hermetic mage in eighth century Romania, Tremere was the leader of cabal of magick users rightfully feared for their obsession with knowledge and power.

Ventrue

In their own eyes, only the Clan of Kings has the restraint, the wisdom, the control, and the pedigree to lead their kind through the night.

Caitiff

Some don’t care what their lineage is. Certain bloodlines of kindred have always been clanless, and sometimes childer of the clans are just born different.

Thin-Blooded

Their messy street-alchemy and ability to pass as human makes them uniquely suited to thrive outside Kindred society and make their own fate in the post-modern nights.

Others know them as message-bearers, wanderers, and mind-fuckers, but the Ravnos know their legacy to be far greater. They walk in the footsteps of Anansi, Coyote, Hanuman, Hermes, Rabbit, Loki, and their ilk, a flame of capricious divinity simmering in their Blood. They range across domains and continents, only rarely settling down, always a step ahead of the Antediluvian judgement that pursues them (and occasionally brings them into conflict with clans like the Gangrel, who otherwise might share an affinity for the world’s liminal spaces). Their methods are not brute force, adoration of crowds, or meticulous centuries-spanning plots, but rather wit and panache, artful charm, and outright illusion.

Ravnos

Their methods are not brute force, adoration of crowds, or meticulous centuries-spanning plots, but rather wit and panache, artful charm, and outright illusion.

The schemes of the Kindred yield winners and losers, and each winner demands a loser to pay the price of that success. Such is the case with the Salubri, centuries ago renowned for wisdom and erudition, but now little more than a despised footnote in the schemes of the Damned. Theirs is a legacy of tragedy, but also a bitter lesson in the millennia-spanning Eternal Struggle, for in their destruction, those who overtook them burdened them with the reputation for the crime to which they were the victim. As if to compound the recognition of this guilt, every Salubri bears a third eye in the center of their forehead, the indicator of their lineage.

Salubri, centuries ago renowned for wisdom and erudition, are now little more than a despised footnote in the schemes of the Damned.

To the Tzimisce, possession is all. They aim to conquer and rule the subject of their possessiveness, jealously guarding it like their namesake dragon would its hoard. The clan’s charges have traditionally been defined geographically, such as a land or a regional people, and elder Tzimisce have reputations for being the shuddersome lord in the castle that looms above the crags. The young generations, though, have extended their obsessions to more liberal claims of possession: cults, companies, gangs, even military units. Their covetousness limited only by lack of expansive ambitions, they are exceedingly hard to dislodge once they’ve sunk their claws in.

Banu Haqim

The Judges of the Banu Haqim are torn between their hereditary thirst and their passion for justice.

The Ministry

Tracing their lineage from the Egyptian would-be god of deception and chaos, the clan formerly known as the Followers of Set has a reputation as motley as their history.

Lasombra

Creatures subtly at odds with mundane reality, the ruthless Lasombra are expected to triumph at any cost.

Hecata

A motley collection of necromantic vampire bloodlines, the Hecata clan are united in the pursuit of a single subject: Death.

Vampire - The Masquerade 5e

According to Kindred mythology, Caine sired three childer, who in turn sired childer themselves. This third generation came into being before the Great Flood – and some say it was their sins that called it down. The survivors, known as the Antediluvians, became the progenitors of the modem clans.

CLANS

As soon as a mortal receives the Embrace, they receive access to the powers colloquially known as Disciplines. Developed from the temperaments of victims consumed and refined to devastating potential, vampires bring these Blood-borne gifts to bear against foes and prey.

DISCIPLINES

Loresheets are a special type of Advantage that connects your character straight into the rich metaplot(s) of Vampire. Beware, however, that these Advantages are often very different in nature and may not be appropriate for all chronicles. The Storyteller always has the final word on which Loresheets are available for player characters.
