The Gentleman's Guide to Vampires: Clan Tremere

Baali, over in the corner: “Amateurs!”

[@danboud8135]

The fundamental strength of clan Tremere, and I've always maintained this, is that unlike the ancient bloodlines predating them, they simply didn't have the burden of ego.

[@AquilaGuard]

hehehe, thats a good point. Tremere can be haughty and arrogant but they are never so full of themselves to avoid bending the knee to a ruler. They are masters of kissing ass to the Cam and hell, any enemy that it will be effective vs.

"Antideluvian's name has been lost in time, he was of some long lost clan..." - Typical bloodwitch propaganda (Excellent presention of it). Tremere diablerized Saulot, who could be described as the closest thing that kindred had to a saint. After that vile deed, they started to purge of Salubri (of whom most didn't even retaliate), the only clan that could be described as "the good guys". Now, Salubri healers are nearly all gone (or in hiding) while once just and righteous warriors, "The Scourge of the Baali" are twisted shadows of themselves and serve in Sabbat (And the mystery of Mahtiel's whereabouts is still not solved). Yet, Tremere rest their laurels on the very top of Camarilla...Ah, the irony. (By the way, excellent videos man, I love watching them.If you have time in the future I hope you would do the video on "Furies" and Adonai, the Salubri of Sabbath)

[@alxno6640]

the funniest thing is that Tremere couldn't handle diablerazing an Antideluvian and fell to torpor soon after he ate Saulot cause he was slowly taking over from the inside and in the end Saulot wins.

[@HouseLyrander]

"Saulot was a saint and not a manipulative bastard who intentionally created the Baali" - Typical soulsucker propaganda I kid, but only because Saulot's lore flip flopping between saintly Gary Stu to literally satanic Villain Stu is a glorious trainwreck

[@HouseLyrander]

TheSalubri KZbin says you had a comment, but it seems youtube ate it.

[@remen9013]

Shortly after Saulots diablerie, Tremere fell unconscious and would soon be rapped in a cocoon-like substance. Tremere would then spend hundreds of years fighting for his soul against an antideluvian only to lose the battle in modern nights. I love Tremere's fate. Obsessed with power, only to be literally consumed by it.

Such disrespect to a noble and decent clan such as Tremere. How does one speak of such lies like that of the first among equals, Tremere, being nothing more than a mere worm. The clan has been on the forefront of protecting Kindred society from the dangers that strike at us, even in the face of such slander and malice. How can one stand who is willing to spread such disgusting lies?

[@hakimdaaloul9886]

Some long forgotten clan? What? Tremere was manipulated by Saulot into diablerising him so that his soul would reside in Tremere's body. Tremere's transformation into a gigantic white worm is a result from Saulot and Tremere's inner struggle over his body

[@theharbingerofconflation]

Exactly the Antediluvian was Saulot

[@Qwufi]

This is called storytelling I guess.

[@____________838]

Saulot and the Salubri have been effectively forgotten by vampire society at large in the modern nights. Either as just a lesser clan that never did anything and eventually went extinct, or as a clan that was obsessed with demon worship who eventually gave rise to the Baali.

Love your videos, I rarely comment, but after halfway trough my... fourth or fifth play-trough?.. Of Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines, and in between, growing constantly more and more interested in the "World Of Darkness" universe, getting scraps of information here and there whenever I need to feed my curiosity with trivialities for entertainement or whenever I grow weary of the short unsatisfying taste of video games compared to tabletop games (with a sadly short lasting real life D20 experience in the past), I have to say, your research (some I can vouch for, most I know little to none of it) seems pretty thorough, interestingly put and satisfies some of this unsatisfaction I feel towards either the lack of people available to play where I am or the lack of developers in the video game industry looking into it. Aside from the Legacy Of Kain franchise, the Anne Rice novels and so on, the World Of Darkness is a great universe, story wise and ingame, tabletop or video game wise.

She's bound to an infinite library, and uses her Thaumaturgical abilities- not to really dominate other people, but uses it to stop all sorts of mystical powers and resist control of others... However, she knows little of her clan and the Camarilla, as her sire liked to keep her in the dark about it all. Loved this! Wish I could watch this in-character!

so quick question....how come the 4th and 5th generation aren't still making any childer

[@jacobmoorman6323]

Most would be... What? Methuselah? 1000 to 2000 years old, If a 4th or 5th gen Vampire were to embrace a Childer, It could well spell out their doom, Most Kindred that Old Are Paranoid that some Young Whelp, Some Fledgling would steal their Hard Earned Generation, whether Natural or through Diablerie, Eating another Kindred's Soul, is a Way to get stronger, To Be 4th or 5th Gen is to be a superior Manipulator, Not Just to be Powerful. And if we Look At The Tale of Saulot and Tremere, Tremere Himself, This Weak, Poor Deluded Fool Did Diablerize Saulot, And Augustus Giovanni Did So Steal his Antediluvian Status From Cappadocius, So That Said, if Antediluvians could be Diablerized, What's so difficult to diablerize a 4th or 5th Generation Kindred?

[@onemoregodrejected9369]

Actually, i may have to discern here that some rumors say Saulot, that shady bastard´s plan was to be eaten by Tremere to yet earn control over another bloodline, and who we may see nowdays as Tremere its no other but Saulot itself. Also, lets not forget he might have further plans. Depending on wich story branch you take, he its even disguised as human. Pretty much all story lines point to Tremere being his little puttet bitch

[@lucassmith4524]

Because they are largely asleep. The ones that are awake...I mean..why on earth would you want to embrace a mortal from this day and age into so much power when you don’t know anything about modern mortals. It would be the kindred equivalent of playing Russian Roulette. To a 4th or 5th, who struggle to wake up two nights consecutively it’s like suicide by Childe. An open invitation to have one’s hearts blood consumed.

@ArphenMaethor Very good point, although not every Tremere diablerised someone powerful. Many of the elders got that way through diablerie (bearing in mind that Tremere was around 9th or 10th gen when he first became a vampire) and some Tremere were embraced prior to the extinction of the Salubri, meaning there's a nice spectrum of generations.

[@TheGentlemanGamer]

@woodwwad Goratrix was arguably the smartest of the bunch. He came up with the ritual, defected to the Sabbat, formed his own 'House'.. All of that would have been brilliant if Saulot hadn't certainly popped up again.

I'd very much enjoy hearing your opinion on these re-envisionings of the old clans. (I for example have played both a Brujah and a Lasombra in Requiem).

@TornadoCreator I could do Requiem vids too, but the problem is their clans don't have established metaplots really. It's part of the openness of the Requiem setting that clans are whatever you make of them.

Well i am a fan of ander and now you as well ^^ Great video, well done indeed...nice insights. I want to share something though - Tremere are likely to be the lowest gen vampires maybe except the giovanni. Clan first + they embrace from a cauldron of blood so its likely filled with the strongest avalaiable blood the clan has which may be lets say 5th gen blood therefore neonates could be 6th gen vampires. Afer all gen = power and clan is first so are neonates...

[@BarzOnTheWindow1]

I thank you for this detailed summary! I role-play a Bone Shadow Werewolf, and have been perplexed by my Spirit Totem Kamduis (the Death Wolf) who is always on about the Tremere that I have been oddly paired with in our motley crew of WOD persona's.

[@Dobyk]

And do you think that Mekhet are to an extent equivalent to the Tremere and Nosferatu together?

[@Houston810]

The Gentleman Gamer How exactly did the Tremere become vampires? I've read it was a ritual and I've read it was a potion, both engineered by Goritrix. And that which ever the case, it was actually a failure; because it was meant to maintain their "livingness" while stealing the immortality of the vampires. Could you clear all of this up for me?

[@MercutioUK2006]

+Houston Davis as "mortal" Magi the House Tremere discovered that their magic was starting to fail, and their magical immortality was in danger of fading. Research (Yes, lead by Goratrix) led to an alternative method of immortality - a ritual which ultimately failed in it's precise aim leaving the participants as Vampires with their True Magic lost. Now, the assaults upon the Tremere were lead by the Tzimisce in retribution for the Tremere's experiments upon both that clan, as well as the Gangrel and Nosferatu. At this point TGG has it correct except that the 3rd generation vampire whom Tremere diablerised was Saulot (founder of the Salubri) and it is believed he _allowed_ himself to be diablerised. In the final nights he eventually took over Tremere's body, and Tremere in turn usurped Goratrix's soul, sealed int into a mirror and destroyed the Sabbat Antitribu Tremere. I've played Tremere extensively since 1992 when V;tM first appeared even to the point of working directly with White Wolf as part of "The Camarilla" which was their Worldwide Fan Club. I stopped playing in 2003 after becoming disillusioned with the political scene within the UK branch but I had a tremendously powerful character by that time and felt that it was dreadfully unbalanced; I really couldn't in good conscience play him. That said, they're a wonderful (if distinctly overpowered) clan I have many fond memories of.

I thought that the Antediluvian that Tremere diablerized was Salout. You mention that the name was lost to the ages or something. Am I incorrect about that?

[@theKerbsan]

Hello as a Lore master of VtM I would like to ask could it be possible for a tremere to use transmutation and blood magic to create blood armor on parts of his body(not to be confused with blood shield) like a solid armor of blood, blood gauntlets with claws etc. ... and could there exist a part of the clan that would be focused on more direct confrontation in battles in the front lines like battlemages?

[@graceliu8839]

If the storyteller says yes, then yes. Though with the Tremere, they have a faction that consist of those Tremere who ended up with Vicissitude as in-clan discipline. So there's absolutely no need to create blood claws when they can just use flesh claws, bone armor just like the Tzimisce.

i might hear this wrong but when i hear cimecee do you mean the tzimicze?

[@TornadoCreator]

I find these videos very interesting but for me there's a disconnect. While you explain them well, I'm a Requiem player not a Masquerade player so these videos just don't hold enough impact for me. Any chance you'll do a similar series for the clans etc. in Requiem?

[@KalavinkaK]

He's very engaging. Before the gentlemangamer, I wouldn't have bothered watching any videos longer than 8 minutes.

@muta4thefail Because nWoD vampire clans lack as much depth and backstory. I may give them a go after I finish the Masquerade ones however.

[@SirBlackReeds]

So how exactly did they come up with that name, Tremere?

Excellent!

[@TheGentlemanGamer]

It's certainly a very real possibility.

[@TheGentlemanGamer]

Saulot took Tremere's body. Tremere took Goratrix's body. Goratrix ended up in a mirror. Etrius wept.

Scrawled on a subway station in Vienna.

@23penguins32 They're diablerie courting usurping bastards. But they make a mean blood cocktail.

Indeed. Tremere himself was a gluttonous fool.

[@MrStrigori]

God, how i hate the Tremere. Evil Bastards, who stole their immortality. They make great antagonists though, i find. Like good old Disney villains, who want to rule the world. Aaaaaand Thaumaturgy is kind of broken, i find. Great Video as always.
