Primogen (VTM)

Primogen are the representatives of their Clans to the Prince of a city in Camarilla controlled cities. As with many Camarilla offices, the office predates the Camarilla and also appears in the Dark Ages.

Technically, a Primogen is the oldest Vampire of his Clan, and serves as a representative and voice for the Clan in city affairs. In the modern era, the officeholder is usually decided within the Clan proper by voting, violence or someone higher up giving the orders, rather than simply comparing ages. Primogen traditionally make up a council that is the second most powerful institution in the city after the Princedom. The power of the Primogen varies with the power of the vampires that make it up, in some cities they are a rubberstamp for the prince, in other cities they manage all affairs.
