The Toreador are considered the artists of the vampires and also the weakest clan. True, with their speed they might be annoying, but without real sthergth they cannot do much physical harm. Watch they mouth on the other hand while they are talking, they can easily lure you into their web and you can be their next prey if you are not careful enough.
Nickname: Degenerates
Sect: Most Toreador are in the Camarilla. Those in the Sabbat pursue bizarre 'artistic' pastimes, like torture or blood painting.
Appearance: Many Toreadors are creatures of surpassing beauty. Of all Kindred, Toreador are the ones that most attuned to human fashion trends.
Haven: Toreador ensure that their havens are comfortable, convenient for socializing and most of all conform to their aesthetic tastes.
Clan Disciplines: Auspex, Celerity, Presence
Weakness: Toreador are dangerously attuned to the beautiful. Once they sense something truly artistic, they can't help but stay close to it and wonder at it. Not one Toreador died from looking at an enthralling painting until sunrise...
Quote: Oh, yes, isn't she exquisite? Yes, she's my newest find - I'm her muse, the sweet little creature. Imagine! And what of - oh, Thomas? Why, I could hardly say - after all, he had his '15 minutes,' as they say, but it just wasn't going to last, and it all became so very tedious, so I had to say adieu. Suicide? Really? Silly boy - he should thank me, then, that I didn't give him the embrace. I
t would have made things so difficult, after all...
Stereotypes |
Malkavian
The fractured kaleidoscope of their thoughts is enchanting at first glimpse. Gaze at it too long, though, and one grows prone to terrible headaches. |
Assamites
There is beauty in what they do, make no mistake, but it is a beauty best observed from a distance. |
Nosferatu
Odious beasts! And to think that they are allowed in the halls of culture! Oh, how gauche.... |
Brujah
On the first night, their passion terrifies. On the second night, their passion fascinates. On the third night, their passion inflames. After that...frankly, their passion begins to bore. |
Ravnos
The subjects of many delightful stories - well, delightful so long as one does not also feature in the tale. |
Followers of Set
It is inevitable, of course, that persons of epicurean refinement will in the course of eternity engage in dealings with those of... unsavory character. Record well any transactions made, and repay all favors promptly. |
Tremere
One deals with the butcher and the bureaucrat because they provide useful conveniences. One graciously acknowledges services efficiently performed. One does not, though, invite the hired help to the soiree, nor take kindly to party-crashers. |
Gangrel
As charmingly untamed as a tiger; as worthy of consideration as a housecat. |
Tzimisce
To experience this clan's alien fruits would be almost worth the price. Remember well that 'almost,' dear. |
Giovanni
They dress splendidly and are charmingly mannered. Why, then, do they frighten me so? |
Ventrue
Every masterwork must have its frame; every bust must have its pillar. This the Ventrue understand, and they perform their functions admirably. |
Lasombra
Their Miltonian conceit is dreadfully provocative, or provocatively dreadful, but they take it all so seriously. |
Caitiff
Really. Who let them in ? |

Camarilla
Through its auspices may Kindred and kine harmoniously coexist, each benefiting from the other's presence. |
Sabbat
Why would I wish to spend eternity wallowing in gore? |
