Pontifex

A "Pontifex" is a servant of the Council of Seven. To each councilor, seven pontifexes are sworn, making a total sum of 49 pontifices all around the world.

As their are second-in commanders of the Council fo Seven, as as near at the peak of the pyramide a normal Tremere coul be and as such must have proven an enourmous amount of thaumathurgial knowledge, many Pontifices are feared and respected by their fellow Tremere. Each Pontifex has a domain to oversee; such domains have only the vaguest relation to actual geography, and frequently overlap.

They are also responsible for appointing Regents and Lords.
