*'''Antediluvian - <s>Saulot/Tzimisce smoothie</s>''' IMPOSSIBLE, WE, THE BULWARK OF THE CAMARILLA, WOULD NEVER DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT [[Dark Angels|AHAHAHAHAHA]]. '''Tremere'''
*'''Signature Discipline - Thaumaturgy''' (Blood Magic)
*'''Sect - Camarilla''' (those who had undergone Vaulderie as part of joining the Sabbat suddenly came down with a nasty case of turning to ash, but those who didn't are still around)
*'''Clan Weakness:''' In the V20 edition, it only takes two doses of vitae rather than three to chain them to a full blood bond. The elders are quick to <s>exploit this vulnerability among their lessers</s> GIFT NEONATES A TASTE OF GLORIOUS ELDER BLOOD IN THE NAME OF MAGNANIMOUS SOLIDARITY, AND ONLY FOR THAT REASON!

Greatest bastards in V:tM, up there with the Giovanni, Setites, and Tzimsice, although the latter two is undeniably more badass, while Tremere and Giovanni are the hate sink clans. They were once a house of the Order of Hermes (from [[Ars Magica]] and [[Mage: The Ascension]]) until their leader Tremere decided he wanted to be a vampire after getting his first grey hair because their potions of immortality stopped working. Then, they became vampires by killing lots and lots of Tzimisce and making an elixir out of their blood. So, of course, the Tzimisce were [[RAGE|fucking pissed]], and immediately went to war with the shitty wizards of Tremere. By all rights, they're an artificial Antitribu bloodline of the Tzimisce, but don't even think calling them as such or they'll eat you alive.

So what did the Tremere do? They created Gargoyles, from the flesh and blood of the dead Nosferatu, Gangrel, and Tzimisce. Guess what? They earned two more enemies, and Tzimisce got even more pissed. Then, the scumbags managed to diablerize Saulot (who actually played them, since his intention was to stop the Tzimisce Antediluvian, more on that on Crucible of God section in Gehenna) and almost destroyed the Salubri, the token good teammate of all vampires. Tonight, the Salubri Antitribu are butchering the shit out of them for this. 

They also put a blood curse on the Assamites, earning yet another enemy. These nights, all those clans want nothing more than the destruction of the Tremere. Vies against the Tzimisce, Lasombra, and Ventrue for most epic Superiority Complex and the numerous experiments they've performed using the listed clans' members over the years. Their main weakness is that they have a social structure that has zero rates of promotion and attempting to leave or do anything without a superior's consent results in you getting the leash tugged tight. However, the trade-off is access to one of the most feared disciplines, Thaumaturgy. Blood Magic to non-members, it allows them to control blood (their own or others'), to powerful and fantastic ends, and eventually use it to cast your usual Hermetic magic from the classic Telekinesis, Conjuring and Fireballs (which is really scary to all vampires ''including'' the Tremere who uses it) to more exotic things. There's a reason the Camarilla keeps a hold of them despite the fact Clan Tremere's loyalty goes no further then Clan Tremere and their founder was a <s>despicable diablerist</s> TRUTHFUL AND HONEST ANTEDILUVIAN WHO ONLY WANTED THE BEST FOR VAMPIRE SOCIETY. Any reports of torture chambers or usurping captive vampires' powers and doing sick experiments are vile rumors by the soul-sucking Salubri and vile Tzimisce. 

Because of this nobody likes the Tremere but they're kept around because of how powerful they are, and the Tzimisce, surviving Salubri and even the Caitiff upon whom the Tremere love to experiment would ''love'' to deliver some payback. Surprisingly, Clan Tremere is also notorious for how easy it is to infiltrate. The sheer amount of bloodlines who can pass a blood test (with magic, no less!) and thus pass off being Tremere starts at certain three-eyed evangelists and goes around the block, twice... But then it's not without sense as the first Tremere vampires were made with a mixed potion of different clans, so it's not hard to attune to their blood checks.

Clan Tremere crashed and burned around Gehenna when Saulot said "Fuck this" and re-possessed Tremere's body, destroying most of the clan's strongholds. Then the Tzimisce Antediluvian awoke, and turned the survivors into horrifying creatures. Only Etrius, Goratrix (sealed in a mirror) and Tremere (Usurping Goratrix's body when Saulot kicked him out of his own body) survived, and later, they joined the dead ranks of their clan. Tremere's end in particular during the Crucible of God is exactly what he deserved. Seriously, assholes deserved it all.

Now, the 5th Edition pretended Gehenna didn't happened (yet), but don't worry, Tremere is still fucked. The Second Inquisition started to track down and connect the dots of contacts between the "blankbodies", and started to notice all the lines converged at Vienna. Thinking it was where the central leadership of the "blankbodies" were, they hit the Vienna chantry with a drone strike and sent special forces teams to exterminate any survivors, destroying the Inner Council of Seven and decapitating the Tremere Pyramid. For the next few days Vienna's kindred (formed 99% by Tremere) was purged by the SI and the rest ran for the hills. [[Humanity Fuck Yeah]].

With the Council of Seven killed, Blood Bonds were broken and the Pyramid was shattered. Many Kindred took this as opportunity for revenge against the clan they hated. And without the strict hierarchy of the Pyramid, the Tremere also started to fight amongst themselves, dividing into 4 different factions: Camarilla-loyalists under Karl Schrekt, some aligned with the Sabbat recreating the "House Goratrix" (which may or may not be led by daddy Tremere using Goratrix's body), House Carna, which was founded by a rebellious feminist woman who throw all sorts of paganist mumbo-jumbo in their magic (basically Wiccans) and House Ipsissimus, which is Tremere but Anarch.
