Genealogy of the Line

Blood descends as law. What follows is not a chart—it is a chain.

The Progenitor

The Eldest

Third of the Blood

The progenitor of our clan. Neither dead nor dreaming, the Eldest resides in the soil of our homeland, not merely buried but interwoven with it. Some say it slumbers. Others whisper that it devours from below. All Tzimisce are shaped in its shadow.

Known Lineages from the Eldest

The Dracon

Fourth or Fifth of the Blood

Once called the Dreamer of Byzantium. Founder of the Trinity in Constantinople. Believed to have transcended physical form—or perhaps descended into madness. Sought enlightenment through Kindred unity.

Gaius · Sixth of the Blood

Embraced for political balance. Fell into darkness—potentially Baali-corrupted. A cautionary tale in ambition and damnation.

Goratrix

Fifth of the Blood

Once our brightest Koldun. Betrayed us to found House Tremere. His arcane defection gave rise to a rival clan of magic thieves. Banished. Cursed. Still feared.

Lambach Ruthven

Fifth of the Blood

Prophet, outcast, and survivor of communion with the Eldest. Roams Eastern Europe bearing cryptic insights and mad truths.

Radu of Bistrița

Sixth of the Blood

Defender of Old Clan traditions. Politely silent in Camarilla courts. Ruthlessly vigilant in his domain. He believes we should outlive memory—not embrace madness.

Sascha Vykos

Seventh of the Blood

The Fiend who became a gospel. Once Myca, a Byzantine noble; now the apostle of flesh and paradox. Sabbat war-leader and theologian of transformation.
