History
Tamanier was embraced for one reason. To be the stronghold of Tremere Knowledge. Upon his embrace he was instrcted to learn all he could about Tremere Rituals and Paths. The reason being was that for a long time, the war between the Tzimisce and the Tremere was in the balance. The plan was that if the Tremere were defeated, Tamanier would disappear into the mountains and begin rebuilding the clan in secret, teaching them everything he knew himself. Then, a virtual army of sorcerers would sweep out of the mountains and destroy their destroyers. This however proved unnecessary, but his duty still stood. He was instructed by many teachers over the years, but his favourite was his Sire and Mentor, Etrius. Even until this day, Tamanier is learning new Rituals and Spells. What he learns, he hoards in the vaults of his mind.
His newest approach to learning new and old rituals and diciplines is to create what he has called "The Regents Suite". This group is a select group of Tremere who specialize in one of the Paths. The members of this convention of Masters have been instructed to create new and innovative Rituals related to their specialized Path. He will in turn learn the Ritual from it's creator and add it to his regimen.
His most current obsession is finding and bringing his sole fledgling, Dominique, back to his side, by any means necessary.
