They love art, beauty and those humans that are able to create it. Toreadors are the most seductive of vampires. Their Bane is their extremely refined palate, which reduces their prey to a very specific group of humans, usually related to what the Ventrue loved in their human life, from blue-eyed vegans to motorheads. Their Disciplines reflect this: they have Fortitude, which works as an over-powered armor that absorbs almost all damage directed at them Presence, which they can use to make everyone stand in awe or cower in fear and Dominate, which allows them to control the actions of others like the puppet masters they want to be.
Ventrues were traditionally embraced by noble human families, but these days the Clan has opened up to successful entrepreneurs, industry leaders and tough-as-nails political organizers. They wield power and force their will on those they judge inferior either in blood or in class. Highly structured, ambitious, invested in their own history and in noblesse oblige, and self-styled as the clan that was the most loyal to their elders, Ventrue are unafraid to take charge.
Ventrues are called the Clan of Kings, and, for a long time, they were the de-facto leaders of the Camarilla.
