Last reviewed
Overview
The Descendant of Tyler loresheet connects your character to the Brujah who lit the Anarch Revolt. Tyler is credited with the diablerie of the clan's founder, an act that proved elders could be killed by their own childer and turned a grievance into a movement that has never fully ended. Inheriting that blood is a political statement before it is a mechanical one. Anarchs treat the lineage as proof the revolt was righteous, while Camarilla Brujah point at it as the reason their clan is never trusted with real authority.
How it works

Tips and playstyle
Best For: Brujah characters, Anarch organizers, characters who want a name that opens doors in the barrens Story Hooks: Younger Anarchs expect you to lead; the Camarilla expects you to prove you are not planning the next one
Frequently asked questions
Is diablerie in my character's future?
Nothing forces it, but every Kindred who hears your lineage assumes the temptation runs in the blood.
Can a Camarilla character take this?
Yes, and the friction is the point. A loyalist carrying Tyler's blood has to justify themselves constantly.
