Ventrue

Nickname: Blue Bloods Old-fashioned and tradition-bound, the Ventrue are sophisticated and genteel. They believe in good taste above all else and work hard to make their unlives comfortable. They are most frequently the leaders in the Camarilla, and are cautions, honorable, social, and elegant Kindred. The Blue Bloods have done their damnedest to keep their hands on the reigns of the Kindred communities, with marginal success. The elders of all the Seven Clans respect them (in their own idiom) and expect the leadership to come from the Ventrue, even if only in the form of a figurehead. However, the point has been reached where few except the Ventrue consider the Ventrue to be the most successful leaders. Their younger members, picked from the most capable corporations, are overwhelmed by feelings of stagnation within the Clan, and often attempt to strike out on their own, separate from clan and sect. These attempts are rarely successful - and no one talks about the ones that are - which simply further alienates the clan both internally and externally. Furthermore, the failure of the Ventrue to change has become far more obvious in this age of week-long fashion trends, and there are those who question far more openly than ever before their ability to lead the Sect. Sect: Camarilla Disciplines: Dominate, Fortitude, Presence Weakness: Their taste for blood is very exclusive and they will only drink a certain specific type. Under no circumstances will they drink from anyone else. Book Reference: V:tM page 138
