Ventrue

A Vampire: the Masquerade clan, as well as a Vampire: the Requiem clan. Made up mostly of rich, commanding types.

In Vampire: the Masquerade

Pillars of the Camarilla. Very intricate clan structure. Built to play politics.

In Vampire: the Requiem

They return in Vampire: the Requiem, taking on some elements of the Malkavians (being more likely to gain derangements, for instance). In accordance with the rest of Requiem, the intricate clan structure used in Masquerade is abandoned for a more open-ended backstory. This has its benefits (allowing for the general archetype of the Ventrue as commanding, leader-like vampires to appear outside of their stereotypes in Masquerade) and its detriments (many Masquerade fans saw it as lacking in the fluff that they enjoyed in Masquerade).
