According to the accompanying press release, Ventrue vampires usually choose their progeny from mortals familiar with power, wealth, and influence. Seeing themselves as the rightful leaders of vampire society, Kindred of clan Ventrue take up the mantle of leadership wherever possible, often in high positions in Camarilla Courts.
In Bloodlines 2, the persuasive Ventrue uses the Disciplines of Presence and Dominate to mesmerize and awe unsuspecting foes. Those who choose to assign Phyre to the Ventrue clan will find both increased resistance to physical damage and powers of mental coercion.
The complete list of Disciplines for the Ventrue will be available in early 2024.
