!!Coterie

[[folder:Christof Romuald]]
-->'''Played by:''' Creator/NicholasGuest

The main character of the game, Christof is a French knight who was recovered in a monastery in Prague, where he falls in love with the lovely, pure nun Anezka. After getting turned into a vampire, he fights for his newfound clan but eventually finds out that Anezka has been kidnapped by the Cainites. Along with his friends, he starts his journey across the land (and time) to save Anezka and eventually stops the various evil vampires in the way.
----
* TheAce: He can learn a lot of Vampire Disciplines -- even those that are not associated with Brujah clan he nominally belongs to. Near end of the game, he can be both a mighty warrior and powerful sorcerer.
* BadassBoast: He delivers some good ones before battling a few of his enemies.
-->'''Christof''': Stand, sir. Or wouldst thou arrive in hell [[SophisticatedAsHell squatting upon thy arse?]]
* BadassLongcoat: For some reason, he gains it in Modern Age when you equip him in one of high-end armors (that is, heavy bulletproof vests).
* BadPowersGoodPeople: He can drain a person of all their blood, animate the dead and make enemies' blood boil, but he's a good guy (unless you play him as a bad guy).
* BecameTheirOwnAntithesis: A holy crusader who becomes a bloodsucking fiend.
* ChickMagnet: Many Cainite ladies aren't above flirting with him, especially Serena and Lily. The mortal owner of the New Moon shop in New York also swoons over him.
* ChurchMilitant: Christof was a crusader knight associated with the Brothers of the Sword, a Catholic military order, and was busy hunting heathens in Prague before being Embraced.
* TheChosenOne: May be a coincidence, but a mural shows that Christof was the prophesied wielder of the [[KatanasAreJustBetter Ainkurn Sword]].
* CoolSword: Starts with one and can obtain the legendary Ainkurn Sword, but can equip any weapon he wishes.
* {{Determinator}}: Endures centuries of [[AndIMustScream blood torpor]], but comes out sane by holding onto thoughts of Anezka.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: [[spoiler:Ultimately slays Voivode Vukodlak, who'd positioned himself as an Antediluvian-level threat by the end]].
* TheDreaded: He becomes this for the Premysl clan near the end of Dark Ages segment. When he and his coterie ecounter a band of Premysl ghouls in Vysehrad castle, the latter shout the [[RedBaron nicknames he earned]] -- the "Bane of the Premysl House" among them -- and intend to flee before their leader puts them in line. Anezka also mentions that Christof coming for him is the only thing [[BigBad Vukodlak]] fears.
* DrunkOnTheDarkSide: Quickly identifies this as a potential hazard of vampirism. One of the bad endings is this up to eleven.
-->'''Christof''': These powers tempt me to dark acts. How easily I could rain devastation on all who vex me.
* EvilMeScaresMe: Tied to the above. Christof also dreams about feeding on Anezka, which disturbs him, [[spoiler:and is exactly what he does in one of the bad endings.]]
* FaceHeelTurn: Either one of the game's two bad endings has Christof make one, although it ends better for him in the eviler one.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: If you take the eviler of the two "bad" endings, [[spoiler:Christof diablerises Vukodlak, usurping all of the ancient's powers.]] Pretty lofty heights for a guy who was Embraced in a dark alley.
* GoodIsDumb: While he has some very brilliant moments, generally Christof can come off as a very hilariously air-headed person. This is especially true during the Dark Ages part, where Christof pretty much ignores everything Anezka says to him after the raid on Prague streets.
* GoodIsNotDumb: After the timeskip however, he fits into this. He's fully aware that he's become a FishOutOfTemporalWater, does his best to adapt and manages to do it surprisingly well. When meeting a firearm for the first time, he instantly recognizes it as a piece of advanced technology, rather than a product of black magic. His first order of business after seeing the modern world -- and poetically lamenting how mad the world has become -- is to correctly identify a mugger/cutpurse and commandeer his clothes to better blend in.
* TheHero: The player character and main protagonist in the game.
* IAmWhatIAm: Unless you fully devote yourself to getting the evil ending, he's never truly [[CursedWithAwesome happy]] with his cursed state. He does, however, come to ''accept'' it and eventually make peace with his affliction and his sire, Ecaterina, proudly identifying himself as her childe and fellow Promethean.
* ItsPersonal: Orsi and Vukodlak are the two villains Christof holds the deepest hatred for. Each of them not only screws him over personally but also directly imperils Anezka.
* KnightTemplar: Surprisingly averted. He ''is'' a crusader, and very religious one at that, but he is by no means a fanatic nor fundamentalist and only wants to do what he thinks is right. When Ecaterina confronts him prior to his Embrace and points out that he's killing people on orders of his mortal commanders -- not God, as he'd like to believe -- he is not in furious denial about it, but instead looks humbled and sorrowful, acknowledging that she is telling the truth. Also, he eventually accepts his new identity as a Vampire while also retaining his moral code ([[spoiler:unless you decide to play as a bad guy, that is]]).
* KickTheDog: Some choices available to him (that is, the player) are quite nasty, [[spoiler: such as using the [[FateWorseThanDeath Diablerie]] on Lucretia and absorbing her powers]].
* MonsterKnight: Justified, since he was already a knight and a Crusader before being turned into a vampire.
* RedBaron: "Champion of Prague", and later "Killer of Ahzra", "Bane of the Premysl House".
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Gets them in a BadEnding, in which he [[spoiler:diablerises Vukodlak and takes all of his powers.]]
* ReligiousVampire: Even after being turned, he still keeps his pious attitude. It's more pronounced if his Humanity is high.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Don't stay between him and Anezka, or betray him. Just ask Orsi. When he learns the truth of what Anezka went through during his long torpor, he levels this at the entire Cathedral of Flesh.
-->'''Christof''': My feelings be damned. Tonight we slaughter every denizen of this foul place or die in the attempt.
* SingleTargetSexuality: He loves only Anezka.
* TookALevelInBadass: Throughout the game, he goes from a mere fledgling Vampire to an ancient Methuselah capable of taking on -- and defeating -- a much older and more powerful Tzimisce Voivode bent on bringing upon the apocalypse.
* WhatHaveIBecome: Struggles with this after his transformation, torn between grief for the loss of his humanity and a disturbing temptation to wreak havoc with his new powers.
* YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe: Even after awakening from torpor in the modern age, he still speaks like this. Justified, since he had little time to adapt.
* YouCantGoHomeAgain: Variation. He tried to harden his heart to his old life after his Embrace, including the convent in whose care he met his soulmate.

[[folder:Wilhem Streicher]]
-->'''Played by:''' Michael Benyaer

A Brujah ancilla and friend of Christof, he helps him during his first steps in the Kindred world. They soon become a fearsome duo and fight together many times. After the timeskip, he meets Christof again in New York and rejoins the coterie in their last battle against the forces of Vukodlak.
----
* AlmightyJanitor: Sort of: he's just a neonate Vampire, but has the potential for becoming really powerful.
* ArmourPiercingQuestion: When Christof laments the iniquity of God permitting men to become demons, Wilhem asks why a killer's misery warrants DivineIntervention when children weep on the battlefield and receive no such grace.
* TheAtoner: Christof urges him to become this when he's encountered again in the modern nights.
* BadassBookworm: Downplayed. He's well versed in Cainite lore and does his sire proud on that count, but he, like Christof, is a warrior at heart.
* BloodKnight: His philosophy is essentially a benign version of this, viewing the din of battle as a kind of emotional therapy for the existential crisis undeath presents.
-->'''Wilhem''': I have found that the fury of war weaves enchantments that soothe even the most troubled heart, in Kindred and Kine alike.
* EleventhHourRanger: Funnily enough, he's both your first and final party member, once at the outset of your Embrace and again at the tail end of the game.
* FaceHeelTurn: Offscreen, he and Ecaterina joined the evil Sabbat, but he promptly dumps them when he meets up with Christof again.
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: His party member voice lines are all rewritten between the Dark Ages and modern nights, as he's had 800 years to acclimate to the evolution of language. His humanity stat is also lowered to 40, as he joined the Sabbat in the interim and admits that there is very little humanity left in him.
* GeniusBruiser: By no means dumb, he still prefers the battlefield to the university grounds.
* TheLancer: At first he's there to mentor Christof, but later develops into this. Their sire comments on the turnaround.
-->'''Ecaterina''': Poor fool, Wilhem. I thought thou wouldst teach Christof. Now I see thou art the pupil, and Christof the teacher.
* MrExposition: He explains a lot of things to Chris.
* MysteriousPast: Little is known about his past, only that he was once a soldier, but explicitly ''not'' a knight. His fellow Brujah whisper that he was once a bandit.
* OffstageVillainy: He alludes to having done some terrible things in the many years Christof fell into Torpor.
* OnlySaneMan: He is essentially your voice of reason, especially in Dark Ages, should you decide to play Christof as a bad guy and make "evil" choices.
* RedemptionQuest: In the second half of the game. He can choose to follow Christof's example and try to atone for the [[OffstageVillainy despicable things he's done in the interim]] as a Sabbat follower.
* WarriorTherapist: A Brujah warrior who gives Christof some good advice on how to reconcile himself to his cursed state.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Serena]]
-->'''Played by:''' Christine Burke

A Cappadocian Kindred and Garinol's right hand. She's sent to help the Coterie by Garinol and she develops a crush on Christof. She's a powerful caster and can use many spells.
----
* BlessedWithSuck: She empathizes with Christof as she also mourns for the mortal life she once led, having been forced to leave behind all that she loved after her Embrace.
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Hair so dark it's blue, skin so pale it's white. Calm and reserved, very good with Necromancy (and later some Thaumaturgy), but very loyal to Christof and wants to help him through his dark times however she can.
* GlassCannon: She can cast powerful disciplines, but is physically weak. However, one of Clan Cappadocian's favored Disciplines is [[MadeOfIron Fortitude]], so this can be mitigated.
* InTheHood: Her medium and heavy armor set add an encompassing hood to her outfit.
* KillItWithFire: She can easily learn the Fire Disciplines.
* MookMaker: She can spawn undead puppets to fight her enemies. This power is also used for escaping the Teutonic Prisons.
* {{Necromancer}}: Being a Cappadocian and all.
* SquishyWizard: Her main Disciplines to start are [[PsychicPowers Auspex]] and [[{{Necromancy}} Mortis]], and she quickly picks up some Thaumaturgy as well. However, her third starting Discipline is [[MadeOfIron Fortitude]], so this is downplayed.
* ThirdPersonPerson: Much, but not all of her dialogue.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Her fate after the timeskip is unknown, but [[AllThereInTheManual she probably died along with the other Cappadocians when the Giovanni took over.]] The ''Cults of the Blood Gods'' supplement for ''TabletopGame/VampireTheMasqueradeFifthEdition'' finally answered the question almost twenty years later at least for that continuity, stating that she managed to survive into the modern day and is hanging about in Jerusalem for unspecified reasons.

[[folder:Erik [=McDonough=]]]
-->'''Played by:''' Bill Martin

A large viking-like Gangrel vampire who was imprisoned by the Tremere, who tried to turn him into a hideous gargoyle monster. He uses his great strength to help the coterie in their battles. Eventually in Vienna [[spoiler: he meets his fate when Etrius completes the ritual and turns him into a mindless gargoyle and the coterie is forced to finish him off]].
----
* AllThereInTheManual: His surname is only given in the official strategy guide.
* BadassBoast: Prone to do this, usually when threatening his foes.
* BerserkButton: Tremere of all types and all their creations.
* TheBigGuy: Most physically imposing of your coterie members both in Dark Ages and Modern Age.
* BoisterousBruiser: He's big, strong and more than eager to fight.
* BullyingADragon: He probably should have exercised a bit more restraint when dealing with Etrius, especially if he had prior knowledge of his level of power. [[spoiler:And he certainly should have treaded more carefully considering how near to completion his gargoyle transformation was]].
* CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:Shortly before boss battle against Etrius, the latter turns Erik into Gargoyle, forcing your remaining coterie members to kill kim. And no, there is no miraculous recovery after that.]]
* DeathByIrony: [[spoiler:He hates Gargoyles. He ends up killed by his own coterie after being turned into one of the creatures he despised so much.]]
* FurAgainstFang: Averted, he and his clan are in good relationships with Werewolves.
* HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic: His character model never seems to wear helmets, except maybe for the heavy armor.
* HornyVikings: Looks a lot like one.
* HotBlooded: Prefers not to bother with diplomacy with his enemies, encouraging you not to "play with your food".
* ItsPersonal: Hates the Tremere, especially Ardan, who was in the process of turning him into a Gargoyle. He also identifies Virstania by name despite no one else in the coterie having met her, implying the same applies to her.
* KarmicTransformation: [[spoiler:Etrius finishes what Ardan begun and turns him into a Gargoyle, a creature that he despises.]]
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: A Vampire-Viking-Shapeshifter warrior.
* TheOlderImmortal: Implied. Etrius calls him an "ancient" Gangrel.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Against the Tremere, especially Virstania, for some reason...
* VideoGameCaringPotential: As noted on the main page, there ''is'' a way [[spoiler:to save him from his fate and keep him in the coterie,]] but this [[SequenceBreaking takes the game far off-script]] and prevents you from getting Samuel after the TimeSkip.
* ViolentGlaswegian: His accent.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: He really hates Gargoyles, but his typical reaction is trying to grind it.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Pink]]
-->'''Played by:''' Curtis Armstrong

A big, British punk Brujah met by Christof in the "In Tenebris" pub in London. He decides to join Christof in his quest and help him. [[spoiler:His true name is Abdul Al-Hazim and he's actually an Assamite Vampire hired by the Tzimisce whose task was to stop Christof, but he's forced to flee when his deception is revealed]].
----
* AccentRelapse: [[spoiler:Upon revealing his true colors, he ditches the cockney accent in favour of a smoothe, well-spoken American one.]]
* TheBigGuy: Again, he's simply large, just like Erik, and with melee-oriented skills to boot.
* ConsummateLiar: [[spoiler:His defense collapses when Wilhem shows up and exposes him as an Assamite, but until that point he had the entire coterie utterly fooled.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: A lot.
* {{Delinquent}}: He looks like one and speaks with a British punk accent.
* EnragedByIdiocy: No one enjoys dealing with Malkavians, but Pink goes absolutely bonkers after five minutes with Dev/Null. [[spoiler:Possibly because he caught on to some of the Malk's insight into his true identity.]]
* ExactWords: Ironically, to ''your'' benefit as much as his. [[spoiler: The Tzimisce never specified that he was to try and ''kill'' Christof, only to stop him from reaching Vukodlak. Your fights against the Setite and Giovanni clans were actually him exploiting Christof and his quest as both clans are enemies of the Assamite, and he just used their tenuous connection to the Vukodlak plot to set Christof against them, and this is the ''real'' reason he is always [[MurderIsTheBestSolution pushing you to violence against them as often as possible]].]]
* FluffyTheTerrible: Deadly as he is, "Pink" is hardly a name inspire fear. [[spoiler:His real name is rather more imposing.]]
* TheGadfly: Loves needling the other coterie members.
* GoodSamaritan: Pink is the first vampire Christof meets after the TimeSkip, and selflessly offers to support his fellow Brujah's quest. [[spoiler:But it's a subversion. "Pink" is very much [[BadSamaritan the opposite]] trope and fashioned a false identity to lead Christof awry.]]
* {{Jerkass}}: He's really cocky and rude, especially to Lily and Samuel, both of whom he tries to chase out of the coterie. [[spoiler:Likely because their presence was not part of his plan.]]
* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler: He gets away scot-free after his treachery is revealed. An aware player can sap him of his blood and equipment before this happens, but he still gets away.]]
* TheMole: [[spoiler:He actually belongs to the Assamite clan.]]
** It's possible to realize it early on through a mix of AllThereInTheManual and RightUnderTheirNoses. [[spoiler:One of his possible armor sets is a black leather jacket with a red Assamite logo on the back.]]
* MrExposition: He introduces the mechanics of the modern world to Christof.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: [[spoiler:So he claims, at least. He played to the clan stereotype of modern-day Brujah being hot-blooded brutes to pass himself off as one.]]
* OddCouple: He and Christof. The former is a crude, blunt, cocky and rude punk while the latter is religious, righteous, kind and soft-spoken crusader.
* PetTheDog: For all his unpleasantness, he's impressed with Lily sorting out the coterie's fake [=IDs=] and remarks that he could use someone like her. [[spoiler:Takes a slightly darker turn after TheReveal.]]
* PlayingBothSides: [[spoiler: Fighting the Setites and Giovanni was ''his'' idea and not part of his mission, and would in fact be contrary to the EvilPlan to resurrect Vukodlak as it puts Christof on the right track, albeit in a roundabout sort of way. He used his contract as an excuse to settle some old scores, when he could and -- by his own understanding of his contract -- probably ''should'' have misdirected Christof entirely instead]].
* ShoutOut: His name, appearance, and attitude are inspired by a character in the Music/PinkFloyd album and movie, Music/TheWall. [[spoiler: FridgeBrilliance sets in when you realize this isn't the writer being funny, but a role adopted by an Assamite who likely studied the film to help get into character]].
* SoLongAndThanksForAllTheGear: Unlike other situations in this game when [[spoiler:a party member leaves you abruptly -- where all his inventory is left behind for you to collect -- Pink does ''not'' leave his stuff behind and absconds with everything he wore lost forever. So before you enter Giovanni's office, it's recommended to strip Pink of all his equipment]].
* ToxicFriendInfluence: Actually jokes about how his rebellious behaviour seems to be rubbing off on Christof.
* VerbalTic: Fittingly for a punk [[spoiler:persona he's adopted]], he has a tendency to shout "oi!" when angry or otherwise excited.
* YouAreTooLate: [[spoiler:His reasoning for not bothering to fight you when his ruse is revealed.]]
-->'''Pink:''' [[spoiler:Despite my best efforts, you came ''perilously'' close to finding Vukodlak. But now, I have wasted ''so'' much of your time that you could not possibly reach him before he arises, even if you knew where to look.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Lily]]
-->'''Played by:''' Creator/TaraStrong (as Tara Charendoff)

A young vampire from the clan Toreador who was forced to work in the Setite Brothel by Lucretia and is freed by our heroes. She follows Christof out of gratitude and in order to find out what happened to her Sire Alexandra.
----
* BadAssLongcoat: Like Christof, she inexplicably gains it when you equip her with heavy bulletproof vest.
* BettyAndVeronica: Played with. She seems like a natural Veronica, as the Anezka Christof clings to was a chaste, inviolable nun who saw only good in the world; Lily, by contrast, is a hot, seductive, and sexually forward Toreador. Thing is, Anezka has since become a Tzimisce ghoul and committed all sorts of depraved and heinous acts in their service [[spoiler:albeit for a good cause]]; Lily is a saint in comparison to ''that'' Anezka.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Downplayed, but she's not enthusiastic about Anezka's place in Christof's heart (unless you get the good ending) and repeatedly tries to help him "move on", even at rather inappropriate times. Samuel warns her to drop it at the end of the [[VeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon Cathedral of Flesh]].
* DistressedDamsel: Downplayed. She needs to be rescued, but participates in the fight herself.
* HookerWithAHeartOfGold: Becomes apparent after she gains her freedom and commits herself to Christof's cause.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: When your coterie is reviewing Anezka's memories beneath the Cathedral of Flesh, Lily reacts to the story of nun's defilement by exclaiming "I can't believe it! This is supposed to be the purest woman on earth?!". Mind you, Christof -- who loves Anezka truly and unconditionally -- is standing right next to her. [[SilenceYouFool And responds accordingly]].
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: In the good ending, where she apparently accepts Christof reuniting with and Embracing his true love Anezka.
* MagicKnight: She's very good with magics, but also has decent physical statistics.
* OddFriendship: With Samuel. She is a beautiful and somewhat morally dubious (though still kind-hearted) woman with dry wit, he is a hideous, but kind and soft-spoken guy. Also, they belong to clans which hate each other, but seem to get along just fine.
* PrecociousCrush: On Christof, who still holds to his own era's concept of chivalry towards a lady of good moral character, but his heart belongs to Anezka.
* TheVamp: Her appearance, present circumstances, and some suggestive dialogue implies a bent to this, but she's actually pretty wholesome for a Toreador.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Samuel]]
-->'''Played by:''' Kevin Killebrew

A Nosferatu from New York, he's a member of the Camarilla. The coterie saves him from other Sabbat Nosferatu and in return he helps them with his powers and his friend Dev/Null. Despite his grotesque face and body, he's very kind and soft spoken.
----
* DeadpanSnarker: Especially towards Pink.
* TheGrotesque: Like all Nosferatu. Though in his case, his horrid appearance belies his gentle soul.
* HumansAreWhite: Only black guy in the whole game. Though with his deformities, it looks more greenish than black.
* MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: He's one of the few good Nosferatu you'll meet, while all but one other (both in Dark Ages and Modern Age) will try to kill you. He also doesn't hold other members of his clan in high regard, many of them being associated with Sabbat.
* NiceGuy: Probably the nicest Vampire you meet.
* OddCouple: With Lily, especially odd given how much their clans hate each other.
* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: He is very outspoken, especially compared to crude punk such as Pink.
* TheSmartGuy: The way he speaks, along with his mellow and rational attitude, make him this among your coterie members.

!!Villains

[[folder:Ahzra the Unliving]]
-->'''Played by:''' Melodee Spevack

A Tzimisce vampire who dwells in the deeps of Bonn's Silver Mines. When she attacks Christof, she boasts about the coming awakening of the Methuselah of Vysehrad but gets slain by the young crusader.
----
* AffablyEvil: Welcomes Christof to her ungodly cathedral and engages her disgusted opponent at length.
* BodyHorror: Well, she ''is'' a Tzimisce. Her face is surely hideous, with all those bone spikes protruding from her forehead.
* EvilRedHead: She is utterly evil Tzimisce Vampire and has long red hair.
* FemmeFatalons: Which she uses to attack.
* GenuineHumanHide: Her clothing (which gives the impression of a FurBikini) appears to have actual human hands as shoulderpads. Given the Tzimisce's [[BodyHorror predilections]], it's entirely possible her entire outfit [[WasOnceAMan used to be a person. . .]] ''[[AndIMustScream and may still be.]]'' Her boss bio in the official strategy guide confirms the pelt itself [[FurAgainstFang was actually skinned from a werewolf foe]], but she could very well have given it the same treatment.
* ShouldersOfDoom: Which, on a closer inspection appear to be actually ''hands''. Not surprisingly, for a Tzimisce.
* SlashedThroat: Her death animation. Unusual, since all other vampires are turned to ashes instead.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: She's only the StarterVillain, but Christof's Embrace and all that comes of it are direct consequences of him taking her out. [[AvengingTheVillain Avenging her]] also motivates quite a few Tzimisce opponents encountered in the Dark Ages.
* StarterVillain: The first vampire Christof faces, and the one whose death marks him as a person of interest to the vampire clans.
* VoiceOfTheLegion: Her voice reverberates when she speaks.
* WakeUpCallBoss: You'll need more than just wild slashing to defeat her. Plus she can heal herself.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Mercurio]]
-->'''Played by:''' Creator/JasonSpisak

A sneaky Cappadocian scholar who's studying the Book of Nod and is trying to find a cure for Kindreds, but is stopped and slain by Christof and Wilhem who were sent to recover the book.
----
* BigBadWannabe: Judging from his journal, he's this. He's also responsible for the Golem's rampage.
* BreathWeapon: A cloud of pestilent wind, which is his strongest weapon.
* CantKillYouStillNeedYou: Garinol is hesitant to do away with his untrustworthy childe on the grounds that Mercurio's skill has contributed much to the defence of their clan's haven.
* DirtyCoward: Wilhelm accuses him to be this, since he's sealed in the innermost chamber of the Chantry he's supposed to defend while his bretherns are killed one by one.
* DivideAndConquer: Stole a fragment from the Book of Nod to sic the Brujah on their Cappadocian allies; he also tries this on Christof and Wilhem directly.
* EvilGenius: He is a skilled scholar doing research on a cure for Kindreds and also a treacherous bastard scheming against his master.
* IHateYouVampireDad: Absolutely despises his sire, Garinol, and insults the man at length in his journal.
* MadScientist: Not only he started the mess by stealing the book of Nod, he also cursed Maqqabeh the Golem, causing him to go insane.
* {{Necromancer}}: Will usually summon a zombi to his aid.
* ProperlyParanoid: Rightly suspects that his number will be up once Garinol gains the golem's protection, and fouls it with magic.
* TheStarscream: To Garinol, whom he wants to Diablerizes and replace.
* WakeUpCallBoss: He can cast a dangerous mist attack that deals a lot of damage and raises Frenzy.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: His researches are for a good cause, but far too dangerous. Plus, from his journal is clear that, well intentions aside, he's a dick.
* WickedCultured: Studies a lot.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Ardan]]
-->'''Played by:''' Creator/DanWoren

A Tremere Sorcerer in Prague and the leader in charge of the slave trades. The coterie storms his hidden base in Golden Lane and eventually kill him after a brief battle.
----
* DirtyCoward: Subverted. He begs for mercy when encountered and tells you what you want to know, but he's stalling for time and confident that he can kill you once his spell is complete.
* DirtyOldMan: His attraction to Anezka can only be described as a textbook example of lust.
* EvilSorcerer: The master of the Tremere Chantry in Prague.
* IfICantHaveYou: He wanted to embrace Anezka, but Etrius forbade him to make other Childe, so he sent her to the Tzimisce (who would have killed her) rather than have another Cainite embrace her.
* LargeHam: Especially when Anezka is the subject of the discussion.
* MadScientist: He was trying to create gargoyles using his prisoners.
* PlayingWithFire: Can use a dangerous fire discipline.
* TooDumbToLive: Making Christof furious by keep talking of Anezka like that, not to mention trying to take the coterie on all by himself.
* VillainousCrush: He's literally obsessed with Anezka, in every way. Chris is, of course, not happy about this.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Count Orsi]]
A Ventrue nobleman is basically the "boss" of Vienna and often buys human slaves. He ask the Coterie to kill the Lasombra Kindred Luther Black in exchange for his help but eventually sells them to the Tremere and has them arrested. After the timeskip, Christof finds out that Orsi (now president of the Orsi Corporation) is still alive and helps the Tzimisce with his factories. After a final clash in the factory, he meets his final and well deserved doom when Christof tosses him into a vat of molten metal.
----
* AnticlimaxBoss: You finally meet him in battle near the end of the game. At the current level of your party, you'll make mincemeat out of him.
* AristocratsAreEvil: The Ur-Example.
* BestServedCold: Christof had to wait for about eight hundred years before he got a chance to exact revenge on him for his treachery in Dark Ages. For bonus points, he is one of your final adversaries in the game proper, the only one coming after him being [[BigBad Vukodlak]]. Best served cold, indeed.
* ButForMeItWasTuesday: When you meet him in New York he has to ask Christof his name. Zig-zagged in that he does remember who you were working for.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Loyalty is not one of his virtues: He tells you that the secret to his success was ''not'' paying his debts.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: See above. On top of his usual, dishonest business strategy, he is willingly aiding Vukodlak and his followers.
* DeathByIrony: Christof throws him into the large vat of molten metal which was being used for forging the silver statue for Vukodlak.
* EvilGloating: He is ''far'' too fond of this.
* {{Jerkass}}: And gets his comeuppance for it.
* HiddenDepths: He's a master of metalwork; hardly a decadent nobleman's hobby of choice.
* InTheBack: Sells you to the Teutonic Knights as soon as you have disposed of Luther Black.
-->'''Orsi''':"I didn't became the greatest merchant in Vienna by paying my debts."
* TheMagnificent: Orsi, er... the Magnificent.
* MotiveDecay: Of a sort. In the Dark Ages, he was a cutthroat merchant who sold slaves to both the Tzimisce and the Tremere. While chiefly concerned with personal profit, he intended to make sure [[EvilVsEvil both sides]] were wiped out, and made an allusion to [[EvenEvilHasStandards avenging the blasphemous diablerie of Saulot]]. Eight hundred years later, he's a Tzimisce associate himself and fully on board with Vukodlak's EvilPlan to usurp the antediluvian vampires via diablerie.
* PetTheDog: When his three childer were mortal, they belonged to a "harsh master" who ripped two of their tongues out. Orsi dealt with him in a "fitting manner" and took the girls in.
* PlayingBothSides: He sells slaves to both the Tremere and the Tzimisce, although he plans to help the former win their war when the time comes. He then plans to destroy the wounded Tremere, as punishment for the diablerie of Saulot.
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: Enjoys the protection of Duke Leopold and invokes his name whenever the count's antics invite trouble.
* SmugSnake: Pompous, sneering, arrogant, treacherous, but quite pitiful in a straight fight.
* UpperClassTwit: He is a smug Vampire noble in Dark Ages, a [[CorruptCorporateExecutive ruthless businessman]] in Modern Ages and an obnoxious {{Jerkass}}.
* WickedPretentious: Rejoiced that Vukodlak will rise in time for the millennium...until Lily points out that technically, the new millennium starts in 2001, not the year 2000. In fairness, he's hardly the only person to make that mistake.

[[folder:Luther Black]]
-->'''Played by:''' John Rafter Lee

A high-ranking Lasombra Vampire, he lives in a secret lair inside the Stephansdom, where he lies on a silver cross, guarded by a small army of Ghouls and Dark Hunters. When the coterie reaches him, he actually asks them to put him out of his misery.
----
* DarkIsNotEvil: Unlike the typical Lasombra, he's pretty tame and only wants to die.
* DeathSeeker: It doesn't help that, according to Orsi, he's extremely difficult to kill by conventional ways.
* LivingShadow: As a Lasombra Vampire, he probably created all those Dark Hunters in the church.
* MercyKill: He asks you to put him out of his misery.
* TakingYouWithMe: His reaction if you refuse to accept his request and execute him is to open the shutters and let the sunlight into the room -- thus not only committing suicide, but severely harming your coterie members. Did we mention that you ''have'' to refuse said request [[BeingGoodSucks if you want to preserve your Humanity stat?]]
* WhoWantsToLiveForever: Being a pious and religious man even after the Embrace, he was by no means happy with what he has become.
* YinYangBomb: Implied that a combination of his churchman state and Kindred powers made him rather difficult to kill.

A Tremere regent that lives in the [[GratuitousGerman Haus De Hexe]] in Vienna. She attacks the Coterie in the Gargoyle Den but is killed after an harsh battle.
----
* TheBeastmaster: Implied to be the caretaker of the Gargoyles.
* DarkActionGirl: She is a skilled fighter and one of the antagonists.
* TheDragon: To Etrius, probably.
* EvilSorceror: She is Tremere. 'Nuff said.
* GiantSpaceFleaFromNoWhere: You have no clue on her presence.
* HighCollarOfDoom: A massive one.

[[folder:Etrius]]
-->'''Played by:''' Creator/DanWoren

The leader of the Tremere vampires in Vienna, he is a powerful wizard who wages war with the Tzimisce and with all those who stand against him. [[spoiler:He turns Erik into a Gargoyle and fights the party, but he eventually flees after telling them about Anezka's whereabouts]].
----
* AuthorityEqualsAssKicking: Ohh boy...
* DropInNemesis: Teleport in the room as soon as you pick up his journal.
* ElementalPowers: Like all high-ranking Tremere he can also cast ice and lightning spells and summon earth elementals.
* EvilSorcerer: He is a Tremere Vampire, so that pretty much makes him a sorcerer by definition. He is also leading a slave ring, capturing humans and vampire alike and using them for twisted experiments.
* IAmAMonster: Boasts of Clan Tremere's power, but laments his particular expression of the curse of Caine at some length, framing it as a DealWithTheDevil to retain some measure of magic in a world it's fading from.
* ILetYouWin: [[spoiler:Upon defeating him he leaves, implying that he was holding his powers for the ongoing assault on the Tzimisce of Vienna.]]
* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:Sorry, but Erik's death won't be avenged.]]
* PlayingWithFire: Can make fire pour from the sky.
* WhatTheHellHero: Basically calls you an idiot for ruining his slave ring and human / vampire experiments since no matter how bad they are, they are the only hope they have of winning the war against the Tzimisce, who are ''far'' worse than the Tremere themselves. [[spoiler: Sure enough, it's a depraved Tzimisce [[PhysicalGod Methuselah]] that turns out to be the true BigBad of the whole game, and ultimately threatens the entire world]].

[[folder:Libussa]]
-->'''Played by:''' Melodee Spevack

A Tzimisce Vampire and Vukodlak's servant, she is a fanatically devoted vampiress who offered her body and will to her evil master.
----
* AmbiguousSituation: It's unclear if she's meant to be a revenant or a vampire. On one hand, she's a classic example of TheRenfield and [[NonActionGuy displays no supernatural abilities]]; on the other, her fellow Premysl revenants have mouths full of broken teeth, while her character model has clear vampire fangs, and unlike them she's never seen in daylight. If she is meant to be a vampire, she's the only Tzimisce in the game who has ''not'' altered their appearance in some horrific manner, as her physical degradation seems entirely mundane. The official strategy guide suggests she's a revenant, describing her "life" as an "eternity of torment and defilement with no gleam of hope other than death."
* DemonicPossession: By Vukodlak.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Christof can meet her just outside the convent after the Cappadocian quest, but she merely talks nonsense (on reflection, her dialogue is chock full of foreshadowing for Vukodlak and the final level).
* FateWorseThanDeath: Broken and defiled by Vukodlak, not to mentioned [[PeoplePuppets possessed by him]] when the need arises. [[spoiler:Gets even worse for her after Anezka arrives, as she usurps her duties and turns Libussa into an outcast, a pitiful and wretched creature with nowhere to go.]]
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:The very last time you meet her, she opens the path forward and urges you to destroy her master. It's implied that she's made peace with Anezka, and considers this final act -- a betrayal of him -- to mean her defilement is "complete".]]
* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: Just like the entire Přemysl dynasty, their ancestor, who happens to be Libussa, is a Tzimisce ghoul doing their bidding. The founder of her dynasty, King Vaclav I, is incidentally fought as a spectre.
* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: Implied. [[spoiler:After being usurped by Anezka and abandoned by Vukodlak, made an outcast in the very cathedral she helped build, she ultimately goes along with Anezka's plan and comes to Christof's aid.]]
* TheOphelia: A very dark and twisted one.
* TheRenfield: Physically and mentally broken, Libussa zealously performs all the duties her slumbering master demands. Unusually, she actually seems to be a vampire herself.
* VocalDissonance: When possessed by Vukodlak, she speaks in his voice.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Father Leo Allatius]]
-->'''Played by:''' John Rafter Lee

The old and wise leader of the Society of Leopold, a group of human vampire hunters, is actually a long lived ghoul who has survived feeding on the blood of the captured Vampires.
----
* BigBadWannabe: He plans to drink the blood of Vukodlak, slaughter all rival vampire slayers and most other vampires apart from a secret stock he'll keep to maintain his immortality, and go on to rule the entire world forever. The fact that he's defeated and humiliated by a weakened, starving, confused and out-of-time Christof shows this was never going to happen.
* CaneFu: Attacks with his walking stick.
* DevilInPlainSight: His followers think he just wants to destroy all vampires everywhere, but judging from his journal entries as well as the conversation you have with him, it's amazing how he hides his true, megalomaniacal intentions from anyone as he is ObviouslyEvil in-game.
* EvilOldFolks: He is ReallySevenHundredYearsOld and utterly amoral.
* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: A Greek scholar, theologian, and keeper of the Vatican library from the early 17th century, now a jerkass Vampire hunter way past his expiration date.
* {{Hypocrite}}: He professes annoyance at the HolierThanThou attitude he projects onto one of his friars, even though he believes himself to be the ChosenOne of God and is as EgocentricallyReligious as they come.
* PuzzleBoss: Instead of killing him, you can knock down the blood containers around him, so that he won't fight you. You can also gain Humanity that way.

[[folder:Lucretia]]
-->'''Played by:''' Melodee Spevack

Leader of the Setite cult in London, she controls a Brothel where human and vampire girls are kept prisoners. The Coterie fights her to free Lily, but has to find her Heart, which is sealed in the Tower of London. She informs Christof about Vukodlak's location but tries to kill him one last time and is slain.
----
* BeatStillMyHeart: Her heart is not in her body.
* DefiantToTheEnd: You can drive her to bargain by taking possession of her heart, but the ''moment'' she gets it back she tries to kill you again.
* RevengeBeforeReason: Unwilling to cut her losses once their business is concluded, she immediately turns her fangs on Christof again once her heart is recovered. Then again, Christof expecting fair play from Lucretia is a halfway literal instance of TheFarmerAndTheViper.
* ScaledUp: She turns into a giant Snake to kill Christof.
* ShoutOutToShakespeare:
-->'''Lucretia''': [[Theatre/KingLear How sharper than a serpent's tooth is an ungrateful child!]]
* SnakesAreSexy: She is a serpent-like Vampire, has [[ScaledUp the ability to turn into genuine giant snake]] and is pretty attractive.
* SnakeTalk: For some reason, she has a tendency to prolong letter "s" when speaking.
* SoulJar: Her Heart, that she hid in Tower of London.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Wears a vaguely-Egyptian gown, consisting of golden collar and cuffs, green mesh-like fabric over her breasts, and a long skirt of the same fabric tied about her waist. [[VaporWear You can quite clearly see that that's all.]]

* TheMafia: Clan Giovanni's [[PlanetOfHats hat]], after incest and necromancy.
* {{Necromancer}}: The other of Giovanni's clan [[PlanetOfHats hats]].

[[folder:Vukodlak the Defiler]]
-->'''Played by:''' Tom Wyner

The powerful Voivode and Methuselah of Vysehrad castle, he is a very old Cainite who was sealed in his coffin until 2000 for his crimes. He plans to use his powers to prevent Gehenna by killing the 13 Antediluvians and becoming the most powerful creature in the world. He's eventually stopped by the heroes.
----
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He is an ancient Tzimisce Voivode, the leader of an entire scheme geared towards bringing upon TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt, the driving force behind most bad things happening in the game, the BigBad and FinalBoss. He is also by far the most dangerous adversary in the game, way above any other bosses you face before him. He was wide repertoire of Disciplines which include driving your coterie members Frenzy, thus making you lose control of the battle quickly. Even draining him of blood via Theft of Vitae does not make him any less dangerous, since his melee attacks are so powerful that they empty your health bar in two, three blows -- and even best available armor does little to mitigate that. If you didn't happen to develop Prison of Ice Discipline (which you can gain only by reading a book found in Haus De Hexe) and cannot just immobilize the bastard, you are screwed.
* BadBoss: His treatment of Libussa is rather horrifying, and [[spoiler:Christof gets a taste of this too if you agree to serve him.]]
* BigBad: Though he only makes his presence known and relevant only about halfway through the game.
* FauxAffablyEvil: He dips into this when reunited with Christof at the climax. He acts polite and mannerly, offering him a chance to [[WeCanRuleTogether join and serve him]], but quickly show his true colors if Christof (that is, the player) is foolish enought to accept that offer.
* FinalBoss: One who has to be fought twice, [[spoiler:unless you picked one of bad endings]]].
* FullyEmbracedFiend: The most depraved one in the game.
* FurAgainstFang: "Slayer of Lupines" is one of his titles.
* GodhoodSeeker: His goal is to kill off the Antediluvians before they can bring about Gehenna and do the same to their bloodlines. Problem is, ''he'' is hardly fit to take their place.
* HumanoidAbomination: He only barely resembles human, with demon-like head adorned with horns, long and clawed hands, on top of being unnaturally tall. He ''is'' a Tzimisce, after all.
* ILied: [[spoiler:He'll force you to kill Anezka and subject you to a FateWorseThanDeath if you accept his offer to serve him in return for her. [[TooDumbToLive Well, what did you expect, really?]]]]
* MeaningfulName: His name "Vukodlak" literally means "werewolf" in Croatian. Funnily enough, one of the feats he's famous for is slaying werewolves.
* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: The Antediluvians rising and consuming the entire Kindred race (and likely humanity as well once they were finished) is the prophesied end of the world called Gehenna, and Vukodlak sought to prevent it by diablerizing them first. If he wasn't such a total bastard, it'd be hard to argue with his goals- his plan would leave ''him'' the ultimate evil power in the world instead of them, so he's not much better.
* OneWingedAngel: After his first defeat he reappears on the first floor of the Cathedral of Flesh and transform into a large, powerful dragon-like monster named Zulo
* SealedEvilInACan: By the other Voivodes of the Tzimisce. [[EvenEvilHasStandards Yeah, he was so monstrous that even the resident race of complete monsters thought he was too dangerous.]]
* StupidEvil: [[spoiler: He draws pleasure as well as power from corruption of the pure and innocent, but this leads him to trust Anezka after corrupting her, leading her to play on his paranoia and ignore or even kill every one of his servants who might truly help him. He could have been resurrected ''centuries'' ago, but he was so proud of defiling Anezka that he failed to realise her obvious sabotaging.]]
* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: He intends to bring this by disposing of the Antediluvians.
* ToCreateAPlaygroundForEvil: After disposing of the Antidiluvians, he seeks to rule over the cattle of humanity forever. Some of his allies are convinced this will be the happy result.
* TooSpicyForYogSothoth: His peers on the Tzimisce Council of Voivodes forbade his "mad scheme" to diablerize the antediluvians, knowing this would provoke the wrath of not only the other vampire clans, but "powerful and jealous forces" in the wider TabletopGame/OldWorldOfDarkness upon Clan Tzimisce.
* YouHaveFailedMe: An unusual, non-lethal example. He felt this way towards Libussa, but he did not kill her for it.

!!Others

[[folder:Anezka]]
-->'''Played by:''' Maggie Baird

A young nun and Christof's love interest, she is kidnapped by the Cainites while trying to find out about Christof's location, eventually falling into Tzimisce hands and transformed into a ghoul. [[spoiler: Right before the final battle, the coterie finds out that Anezka actually did everything possible to slow down Vukodlak's revival and endured a lot of dire sacrifices to stop him. In the both the good ending (and possibly the other two, depending upon interpretation), she is Embraced by Christof, becoming a vampire.]]
----
* ActionSurvivor: Brushes up against the darkest of kindred and lives to tell the tale.
* BewareOfTheNiceOnes: She's a sweet nun, very polite and quiet. But once given a reason to, she'll show amazing willpower and cunning.
* BreakTheCutie: What she endured under Libussa and Vukodlak is unspeakable at least.
* {{Determinator}}: When looking for Christof and a way to redeem him, which includes visiting the lairs of the Brujah, Tremere and ''Tzimisce''. Both Ecaterina and Ardan were impressed.
* EvilMakeover: When encountered as a Ghoul.
* FaceHeelTurn: After being turned into a Tzimisce Ghoul. [[spoiler: Subverted near the end of the game, when it turns out that she always remained pure and righteous, only feigning loyalty towards Vukodlak in order to gain his trust and repeatedly sabotage his plans]].
* FateWorseThanDeath: Living as a slave for the Tzimisce must have been dire.
* GuileHero: [[spoiler:She managed to keep Vukodlak sealed for 600 years and managed to destroy Libussa's spirit somehow. And all of this without fighting.]]
* HolyHandGrenade: She has (had) true faith, and so the Premysl Revenants couldn't even approach her.
* IncorruptiblePurePureness: Much to the delight of a fiend infamous for defiling purity. [[spoiler:While she did compromise her morals in the end -- Vukodlak demanded she commit evil acts of her own volition, defile others, and bind innocents into the Cathedral of Flesh -- it was all to bring about Vukodlak's downfall.]]
* MsFanservice: Though this come mostly from Ardan, who's enthralled by her beauty.
-->'''Ardan''': ''And she was quite beautiful Didst thou know? Couldst thou see that behind her wimple, that her hair was long and auburn? Couldst thou see that beneath the shapeless folds of her robe that she possessed a body as achingly beautiful as any odalisque? Truly she chose the wrong profession to make the best use of the gifts God had bestowed upon her. In defiance of Heaven, she had buried her talents in the field of the Holy Orders. Her beauty transfixed me, just as her courage thrilled me. I never met a woman like her, and I shall never again.''
* SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler:Apart from deliberately sabotaging Vukodlak's plans and postponing his awakening for few more centuries, it is implied that it was ''she'' who called out to Christof and awoke him from torpor in Modern Age]].
* TreacherousAdvisor: [[spoiler:Heroic version, although she had to stain herself deeply with evil to position herself as such.]]

[[folder:Ecaterina the Wise]]
-->'''Played by:''' Creator/MaryElizabethMcGlynn

Elder of the Brujah clan in Prague, she is a noble and ancient Cainite from Carthage, and the one who Embraced Christof in the first place. After the time-skip it is revealed that she joined the Sabbat, but she secretly works against Vukodlak.
----
* BenevolentBoss: Protective of her brood and willing to make amends if this coddling leads her to wrong her childer. Though stern in the face of insolence, she is remarkably forgiving of Christof's rebelliousness and ultimately gives him leave to pursue his [[AlwaysSaveTheGirl foolhardy endeavour]].
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: An amoral, goal-oriented vampire elder.
* TheChessmaster: To a point. She's in alliance with the local Ventrue princedom, which has also struck up alliance with the Tremere as well, but she seeks the downfall of both these factions in addition to the Tzimisce. Notably, she considers the overall result of the siege of Prague to be a victory, as her rivals have been destroyed in the chaos and the Tzimisce have provoked the fall of their own castle by having been revealed to the [[WitchHunt very angry townspeople]].
* DemotedToExtra: Your sire and main quest giver for the Dark Ages, and while still active in the modern nights, she is never encountered in person after the time-skip.
* FaceHeelTurn: She'll go on to reject the modern Camarilla and join up with the Sabbat instead.
* FacialHorror: Ever wondered why she's wearing that scarf?
* FemmeFatale: Briefly seduces and undermines Christof before Embracing him. As she notes, his strength as a mortal came from his Faith, and without it, would he be any good as a vampire?
* GoneHorriblyRight: Her alliance with the townsfolk of Prague against Clan Tzimisce resulted in the first recorded victory of mortals over vampires. Ecaterina's emboldened human allies, who the Society of Leopold credit as the forefathers of their Inquisition, would go on declare war on ''all'' Kindred.
** Her Embrace of Christof could be seen as an inversion. The recalcitrant childe she sired ended up breaking away from her influence and seemingly perished in pursuit of a foolhardy agenda she'd washed her hands of, but the end result of his quest was their ancient foe's downfall and victory for her faction of Sabbat. And she [[spoiler:wasn't even the one who woke him from torpor, having given him up for dead.]]
* ALighterShadeOfBlack: In the modern nights, she's a Sabbat bishop, but opposes her fellow Vukodlak's radical sect.
* NightmareFace: She hides lower half of her face beneath a scarf. She removes it before Embracing Christof, revealing black, rotten flesh around her mouth, with no visible lips. Christof is understandably terrified at this sight.
* WickedCultured: Exemplifies the old-school ideals of the Brujah as philosophers and scholars.

* BoisterousBruiser: He seems to represent well the war-loving aspect of the Brujah.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Prince Rudolf Brandl]]
-->'''Played by:''' John Rafter Lee

The Ventrue Prince of Prague during the story. In keeping with vampire tradition, Ecaterina sought his approval before Embracing Christof.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: Per the sourcebooks, Brandl was an ineffectual puppet of a prince whose reign was undermined by the dual headaches of the Premysl family's ascendancy and an uncooperative Kindred court. This is not at all apparent in his interactions with the Brujah, towards whom he is arrogant and imperious, and he's secure enough in his position to sanction Clan Tremere with violence for breaking his city's rules. Ecaterina's vague confirmation of his death also doesn't allude to its undignified circumstances.
* AristocratsAreEvil: Downplayed. He takes the Ventrue archetype up to eleven, but he deals with you pretty fairly.
* BlingOfWar: He wears a suit of golden armour.
* DoNotTauntCthulhu: He's clearly a bigger fish than the fledgling Christof and he'll punish you without reprisal if you interrupt or talk back to him.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He has some contempt for Clan Tremere due to the circumstances behind their origins, and gives Christof his blessing to raid their chantry and liberate any abducted vampires. He extends this to the abducted mortals too, if you have Christof [[ButThouMust bluntly ask the prince whether or not he cares about those whose blood sustains them]], although not before disciplining you for not minding your manners.
* KilledOffscreen: Despite his high position, he's [[DroppedABridgeOnHim somewhat abruptly killed]] during the Tzimisce's siege of his city.
* PimpedOutCape: The classic kingly apparel.
* RoyalWe: Frequently.
* VampireMonarch: He looks the part, too. The perks of being prince in the Dark Ages.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Ecaterina confirms his death, but the details are only found in supplementary material.

A really old and ugly Nosferatu, he is the keeper of the secret Tunnels of Prague, a veritable labyrinth infested by Nosferatu, Giant Rats and ghosts. The coterie must give him a chalice of Elder Vitae from Ecaterina so that he will open the gates.
----
* AllThereInTheManual: Most of his history is outlined in the sourcebooks. Notably, Josef is the one who killed Rudolf Brandl in his daytime sleep (an event only vaguely alluded to in-game) and went on to usurp him as prince of Prague with the support of Ecaterina and Garinol.
* ButThouMust: He will open the gates only after drinking some precious Elder Blood.
* TheGrotesque: He is a Nosferatu, so that pretty much comes with the job description.
* NobleDemon: Expresses compassion for the mortals suffering for Mercurio's treachery, and laments that neither he nor Ecaterina were wise enough to protect them from it. That said, he holds ''very'' strongly to Nosferatu customs, and freely admits to trawling the local cathedral for "intoxicating Christian blood".
