I'm drawing a blank here.The vampire hanger-ons that, say, Dracula had? That would be the clan. At its base level a clan is simply the vampire and its followers. Under World of Darkness mythology, each of the clans are descended from a particular progenitor with most descending from like the second or third generation after Caine. So say a person was converted by a vampire in the line of the original Ventrue partriarch or matriarch. If the vampire who converts you was a 12th generation Ventrue, you would be a 13th generation Ventrue. As I recall, the vampire blood is too weak after the 13th generation to make new vampires, but I may be misremembering...Generally members of clans follow the same basic style, appearance, weaknesses, abilities and outlooks of those above them. For example, all Lasombra cannot be seen in a mirror, all Nosferatu are horrendously ugly. The style, appearance and such are probably self-selection, i.e. the beautiful Toreadors probably are more likely to convert someone who is beautiful, while Malkavians are embracing lunatics. The weaknesses and abilities probably have more to do with the blood of the particular line.</blockquote>
