Coterie

Coterie: A small group or "pack" of Kindred united by the need for support and sometimes common interests.
Coterie is a term used to denote a group of vampires who have banded together for a common purpose. Typically, they choose to band together on their own, under the belief that safety lies in numbers. On occasion, the prince has been known to assign neonates together as a "coterie" for a specific task.
