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.
