Each clan covers a broad range of vampiric archetypes. The '''Daeva''', for instance, are both seductive and predatorial, evoking the image of vampires who glide through society as debonair hunters, much like [[Wikipedia:Lestat|Lestat]] in Anne Rice's [[Wikipedia:The Vampire Chronicles|Vampire Chronicles]]. The '''Gangrel''' encompass the theme of the lone, savage and brutal hunters, much like the vampires of the [[Wikipedia:Blade (film)|Blade]] series. The '''Mekhet''' are conspiratorial occultists, vampires who hide in the shadows gathering lore and knowledge while manipulating others from afar. '''Nosferatu''' vampires are the alienated or disfigured monsters of legend (such as ''Count Orlok'' of their movie namesake), while the '''Ventrue''' represent vampires possessed of an aristocratic, ''lords of the night'' sensibility, like Bram Stoker's [[wikipedia:Dracula|Dracula]]. | Each clan covers a broad range of vampiric archetypes.

A vampire has many enemies, most from within their own clans and covenants. There are some that stand out as being opposed to Vampire society as a whole, and some of the most prominent of these are vampires themselves: | A vampire has many enemies, most from within their own clans and covenants.
