Acolyte (VTM)

Acolytes are vampires that are part of the Tremere pyramid, but not formally a part of the Clan.

Overview
The bulk of Acolytes are Tremere fledglings that have yet to be accepted as apprentices by accepting the Code of Tremere. Others inclue the Trimira, groups of Kindred from different Clans that have taken the Cup and bound themselves to the Clan, but do not share their blood. It also includes Caitiff and other free agents that are aligned with the Clan and often work as deep cpver agents.

Since being an Acolyte is being apart from the Pyramid to a certain degree, the rank has next to no internal Circles of Mastery. Ghouls and Gargoyles are not counted as Acolytes.
