True Brujah

The True Brujah are a bloodline of Clan Brujah that claim to be descendants of the original Antediluvian founder of the lineage and not his diablerist/childe Troile. The True Brujah are noted for their cool detached behavior which puts them in contrast to the main lineage which is known for their rather short violent tempers.

They are believed to descend from the original progenitor of the Brujah clan, Ilyes, who was diablerized by one of her own descendants, whose name is allegedly Troile. Vampires who call themselves Brujah are believed to descend from this usurper, while the True Brujah claim lineage leading directly to the original clan founder, Ilyes herself.

True Brujah often hide within the ranks of the Modern Brujah. It is said that they are biding their time till they can bring the "usurpers" back into the fold.

Unlike their cousins, the True Brujah are said to be dispassionate and cold even to the point where they find summoning emotions to be difficult. They are feared for their alleged control over the flow of time (Temporis). Many True Brujah are supposedly members of the Sabbat sect called the True Black Hand, though there is some confusion on this matter.

History
Many (some would say the majority) of the True Brujah were involved with the Tal'Mahe'Ra or True Black Hand and were instrumental in that sect's founding. In the metaplot of the revised edition of Vampire: The Masquerade the True Brujah, already a rare bloodline, became even more scarce with the destruction of City of Enoch, the True Black Hand's headquarters in the Shadowlands.

Culture
The True Brujah (nicknamed Elois after the post-humans in H.G. Wells' The Time Machine) have command over their own proprietary Discipline called Temporis which allows them limited control over time and time-travel. It is said that Celerity is a bastardized version of this power developed by Troile to keep up with her broodmates. Conversely it is proposed that the True Brujah developed Temporis centuries later drawing on both Celerity and all vampire-kind's innate stasis in time to create the Discipline.
