I have inside me blood of kings.
I have no rivals. No man can be my equal.
Born to be kings. Princes of the universe."

| VENTRUE FROM PREVIOUS CHRONICLES (Parting Gifts through Post Mortem) |
"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 lives comfortable.
They are most frequently the leaders in the Camarilla, and are cautious,
honorable, social and elegant Kindred
The Ventrue fancy
themselves a clan of the modern world, and deny that they live in the past.
This may be true of the most powerful members of the clan, but many are
unable to give up the habits and dress of the time when they were Embraced.
The attitudes and beliefs of one's mortal days are never forgotten by a
Ventrue.
They are most often
found among the upper crust of the mortal world. Their sophistication serves
them in good stead among the elite of mortal society, and it allows them
to control many of the more powerful members of the city. Because of the
relative ease in which they fit in among such company, the Ventrue often
have a monopoly on political control of the city. If something goes wrong,
it is often to the Ventrue that the other Kindred turn to aid.
There is a strong
Ventrue tradition that any member of the line may find safe refuge with
any other member of the line, and cannot be refused. Thus many Ventrue
aid their fellow clan members before the need arises for this tradition
to be invoked. Harboring a fugitive in one's haven can be detrimental to
one's welfare.
They are very proud
of their leadership of vampire society, and will always insist that they
were the founders of the Camarilla. They will do nearly anything to retain
their grip on the politics of the cities and the Camarilla, and are exceedingly
protective of their reputations." (Vampire: The Masquerade 2nd Edition)
