Clan Tremere

Tremere Clan Titles

Each rank in the Tremere system of Titles has seven degrees, or sub-rankings, with 1st degree being the lowest and 7th degree being the highest. Per Lore of the Clans, it's not necessary to raise each degree to go up in Title.
7 dot - Councilor: A member of the Council of Seven, the formost of the Tremere pyramid. The Council of Seven rules the Clan worldwide from their stronghold in Vienna.
6 dot - Pontifex: Above Lords are the Pontifices who rule entire countries. There are usually seven Lords for each of the seven Pontifices.
5 dot - Lord: Moving up to a national level are the Lords, who are responsible for several chantries. Their jurisdiction often ranges over an area the size of an American state, or several states.
4 dot - In-City Clan Head - Regent: The Regents are each master of an entire chantry, often making them the de facto leader of the Tremere in a given city and possibly a member of the Primogen. Both Lords and Pontifices often have their own staff and household, usually basing themselves in a chantry for convenience. Many Regents rankle at having their boss running a separate department in their domain, but to complain would bring their loyalty into question.
3 dot - Magister: The title of Magister (from the Latin for “teacher”) is granted to the Tremere who run their chantry and educate the Apprentices under the direction of their Regent. It is also a title granted to older and more distinguished members of the Clan who have not sought power but instead have become trusted advisors. Magisters tend to oil the wheels of the Clan, organizing training and seeing to disputes and punishments. Magister has also become a term of respect to an elder Tremere or a teacher.
2 dot - Apprentice: When officially presented as part of Kindred society, a Tremere becomes an Apprentice. Many never rise higher than this, but you would be warned not to underestimate a seventh-degree Apprentice. They have earned their status serving the Clan and advancing their magical studies.
1 dot - Acolyte: At the bottom of the pyramid (but above the ghouls and Gargoyles) are the Acolytes. These are Kindred not fully released, and as such rarely gain degrees.
1 dot - Trimira: Among the Acolytes are also counted a group Tremere refer to as the Trimira. These are Kindred of other Clans who have proved their loyalty, and have drunk Tremere blood as initiates of the Tremere — originally a group of Ravnos and Nosferatu who understood an ancient Indian blood magic called Sadhana. They could never be fully part of the Clan, but we were pleased to accept their loyalty and skills. Nowadays, the term has spread to include several agents and Caitiff who often work as deep cover agents on our behalf inside Clans no full Tremere could infiltrate.
