Sobriquet: The Founder of the House and Clan Tremere needs no nicknames...

Appearance: As a disembodied spirit, Tremere can only be seen in the higher planes of the Astral Realm.

Behavior: In the unlikely event that someone were to encounter Tremere, either as a disembodied spirit or after he takes possession of Goratrix's body, he is enigmatic as he is powerful.

History: One of the most potent Mages in Europe during his lifetime, Tremere and seven of his followers discovered a ritual which transforms them into vampires. His diablerie of Saulot in 1133 solidifies the Tremere's status as a clan. Unfortunately, Tremere does not fully understand the implications of his actions, for Saulot's soul remains active within the former mage, plunging him into a centuries long battle of wills for control of his own body.

Guarded by Etrius, Tremere wages a silent struggle with Saulot, slipping into and out of torpor as he attempts to subdue the Salubri Antediluvian's desire for dominance. Cursed (or blessed) with an unstable form as a result of his Embrace, Tremere finds his body assuming numerous and often horrific forms, at times leaving him a mouth-less quadriplegic, while at other times cocooning him in a hideous, larval mass.

Eventually, it becomes clear to Tremere that Saulot is winning the battle. Tremere embarks on a bold ploy to salvage what he can of himself and to warn his clan of Saulot's diabolical intentions.

Using Etrius as a temporary vessel, Tremere leaves his body and inhabits his most faithful servant. He instructs Etrius to deliver him to Mexico, where he believes he can find a more suitable body to possess -- that of his rogue student Goratrix.

Recent Events: Tremere has managed to possess Goratrix, but was deeply unsatisfied with the generation of his vessel. Using a Ba'ali ritual he had discovered, Tremere has taken to sacrificing 100 kindred every 20 years, which gives him the generation temporarily to be as he once was. Unfortunately, Saulot has found him out and is working to make such rituals impossible to carry out.
