Ventrue:
"The Kindred of Clan Ventrue have a reputation for being honorable, genteel, and of impeccable taste. From time out of mind, Ventrue have been the clan of leadership, enforcing the ancient traditions and seeking to shape the destiny of the Kindred. In nights of old, Ventrue were chosen from nobles, merchant princes or other wielders of power." (p. 80)
"Other vampires often cast aspersions on the Ventrue, vilifying them as sanctimonious, pompous or even tyrannical-- yet it is the Blue Bloods to whom those other vampires turn when something goes wrong. Ventrue cultivate, influence and-- when they can—control the mortal media, police, politics, health and medicine, organized crime, industry, finance, transportation and even the Church." (p. 80)
"Ventrue taste is rarefied to the point of exclusivity, and each Blue Blood may partake of only a certain type of mortal blood. For example, a particular Ventrue might feed exclusively from virgins, blond men, children, or clergy. They will feed on no other type of blood, even if starving or under duress." (p. 81)
Also known as "Blue Bloods," they are able to Dominate others into doing their will, forgetting large blocks of time, or even possess a mortal’s mind (though they cannot possess other Kindred). Like Gangrel, they have enormous fortitude and heal quickly from injury. Like Toreador, they have tremendous presence, inspiring awe and devotion in their followers.How other clans view the Ventrue
