Malkavians have one of the hardest and most interesting Banes of all: they are mad as a Hatter. Their Bane is that they suffer in ugly environments, and, to top it off, they have the Compulsion of Beauty, which can enrapture them in place for a long time, possibly leading to death by dawn. Toreador Disciplines reflect this: they have Celerity, perfect for moving gracefully Auspex, which lets them Heighten their senses to perceive the smallest details, as well as to read the mind of an artist or access a more spiritual plane and Presence, like the Ventrue, which they tend to use to make entire rooms fall in love with them.

Toreadors are constantly looking for the creative spark that they lost when they were embraced and, ideally, to bond the next Frida Kahlo to them.
While an older Toreador may be a patron of the arts, a recently embraced fledgling might find beauty in a perfectly curated Instagram timeline. They love art, beauty and those humans that are able to create it. Toreadors are the most seductive of vampires. Their Bane is their extremely refined palate, which reduces their prey to a very specific group of humans, usually related to what the Ventrue loved in their human life, from blue-eyed vegans to motorheads. Their Disciplines reflect this: they have Fortitude, which works as an over-powered armor that absorbs almost all damage directed at them Presence, which they can use to make everyone stand in awe or cower in fear and Dominate, which allows them to control the actions of others like the puppet masters they want to be. Ventrues were traditionally embraced by noble human families, but these days the Clan has opened up to successful entrepreneurs, industry leaders and tough-as-nails political organizers. They wield power and force their will on those they judge inferior either in blood or in class. Highly structured, ambitious, invested in their own history and in noblesse oblige, and self-styled as the clan that was the most loyal to their elders, Ventrue are unafraid to take charge. Ventrues are called the Clan of Kings, and, for a long time, they were the de-facto leaders of the Camarilla.
