Inner Council of Seven

The Inner Council of Seven, also referred to as the Council of Seven, the Inner Council, and the Inner Circle, are the seven eldest and highest-ranking active members of clan Tremere's Pyramid. Each Councilor is of the fourth generation, and each of them is an honorary childe or an actual childe of the clan's founder, Tremere himself.

The body of the Council is descended from the original seven conspirators, including Tremere, who founded the chantry of Ceoris; this body eventually became the group of seven mages who were artifically Embraced as vampires. After the founder Tremere committed diablerie on Saulot and transformed the Tremere into a full-fledged clan, he established the Council of Seven from his honorary childer, blood bound them to himself, and scattered them across Europe and the Middle East. Centuries later, as European Kindred and kine had spread across the globe, the Council expanded their domain: where each Councilor had originally led the Tremere of one specific region of Europe, each would now preside over an entire continent.
