| − | A '''thrall''' is one who is fully bound into service to a [[vampire]] through the [[blood bond]]. A thrall is usually a [[mortal]], and may have their service reinforced through the use of [[:Category:Discipline|Discipline]]s such as [[Dominate]] or [[Presence]]/[[Majesty]].

| − | Mortal thralls may become [[retainer]]s or even [[ghoul]]s if they prove exceptionally useful. Inversely, those with little to offer their master or mistress may simply serve as part of the vampire's [[herd]]. In VtR, thralls are somewhat less reliable than their VtM counterparts, since many will come to suffer from the effects of [[blood addiction]].

| − | Vampires with the misfortune to become thrall to another vampire are typically young, with relatively weaker blood (expressed via [[generation]] or [[Blood Potency]], as the case may be). Vampires who are bound as thralls to [[Elders]] or even [[Methuselah]]s are more common in VtM than in VtR, since VtR vampires risk losing the power of the blood during [[torpor]] through the effects of the [[Fog of Eternity]]. [[Supernatural]] beings other than vampires rarely become thralls, although it is theoretically possible for any being that can be subject to the blood bond to be forced into thralldom.
