The Ventrue Clan

The Ventrue is one of the thirteen clans of Kindred in Vampire: The Masquerade. The Ventrue has long been one of the proudest lines of vampires. Its members work hard to maintain a reputation for honor, genteel behavior, and leadership. A sense of noblesse oblige has long pervaded the clan, accompanied by the genuine belief that the Ventrue know what is best for everyone. They not only consider themselves the oldest clan, but see themselves as the enforcers of tradition and the rightful leaders of Kindred society.
They have long been Embraced from the ranks of nobility and privilege, whether kings or merchant princes, but they have also been known as knights and warlords who sought to live by the laws of chivalry and duty. If anything, the Ventrue have adapted to fill the roles of leadership over the ages, and in the Final Nights are more politician than noble warrior, more CEO than baron lord. They remain the largest supporters of the Camarilla and the Masquerade, believing both institutions to be the surest means of protecting vampires from the growing mortal masses, and of guarding their own power.
Clan Disciplines are Dominate, Fortitude, and Presence.
The Ravenhurst Ventrue seem mostly dedicated to blocking the plans of the Brujah, except for Ivory Crane who is more libertarian than the rest of her clan. Also, Joshua Sterling and Fabian Santi have been able to put aside Clan differences and keep Elysium secure. Ivory has been in secret talks with Agony and her Anarchs, thinking about making some sort of alliance with them. For his part, Nathaniel Montgomery is owed a Major Boon by Asa the Anarch in exchange for helping him secretly clean up a messy breach of the Masquerade he had incurred. Both parties keep this a secret from Agony and the rest of the Kindred. For Clan meetings and other business, the Ravenhurst Ventrue have the Pantheon Tower.
