Tremere sorcerer (Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition)
Tremere are the scholarly blood sorcerers of the Camarilla, known for their mastery of Blood Sorcery (formerly Thaumaturgy) and their hierarchical, secretive organization. They are often academics, researchers, and manipulators who use knowledge and magic to maintain power. Tremere characters excel at magic, research, and manipulation. Their Disciplines (Auspex, Blood Sorcery, and Dominate) make them excellent sorcerers, spies, and controllers. They can read auras, cast blood magic, and control minds. However, their clan bane, a consequence of the Fall of Vienna, means their blood can only ever create a single step of the Blood Bond no matter how many times someone drinks, and bonding a Tremere requires additional drinks.
