Ventrue Only

The Ventrue do not speak lightly about Hardestadt, an Elder they claim was the most powerful of them for the last eight centuries. During the Convention of Prague in 2012, he was destroyed by Brujah rebels led by the betrayer Theo Bell. Hardestadt was a founder of the Camarilla, joined by six of his peers who credit him with the strength and security of the Ivory Tower for so long. Oddly, he never credited his lineage further back than himself, surely a sign of his belief that he was the end-all-be-all of the Ventrue. His childer are few and far between, each one painstakingly chosen and carrying the weight of his name on their shoulders.
