Famous Spellcasters: Tremere

Name: Tremere
World: Earth aka "Vampire: The Masquerade" & "Mage: The Ascension"
Spells: Blood Thaumaturgy.


   Tremere was a mage who was one of the original 12 founders of the Order of Hermes. He lived during the 8th century, and studied under Guorna the Fetid. Since he had studied under her, his youth and inexperience were not a factor when the Order was formed. Throughout decades that followed,  he managed to make his House one of the most powerful one within the order. This was mostly due to his incredible political tact, and becuase of his mastery of Certamen "The Wizard Duel". However, the Houses fought back and sabotaged his most trusted lieutenants with befuddlement. After negations with the Houses, the quick schism end and his apprentices were restored.
Knowing that mortality was creeping up upon him and seeking to get an upper hand on the other houses, he searched for methods to expand his power. Unfortunately he could not find any means. However, his apprentice Goratrix developed a means to attain immortality through the use of vampirism. Tremere agreed, and he and his apprentices soon became vampires.
Unable to wield true magic anymore, he worked with many of others in house to provide the support needed to research new ways of casting spells and creating the Gargoyles. After much research he developed Blood Thaumaturgy, a form of magic powered by ritual and the innate power of his vampiric blood. Seeking to further seek his own power he searched for my potent vitae. His quest lead him to an an antideluvian vampire, named Saulot whom he diablerized. Unknowing he also was possessed by Saulot as well, entering into long topors as he contested the creature within. Centuries later, with the help of Goratrix he managed to free himself only to have existence as a spirit. 

His apprentices are Etrius, Goratrix, Meerlinda, Calderon, Abetorius, and two others.
