Regnant

A ghoul's regnant is the vampire who feeds them vitae and holds a blood bond over them. A ghoul's ability to develop Disciplines is based primarily on their domitor's own capability in Disciplines, although all ghouls can and will manifest some level of Potence naturally.

Revenants, unlike normal ghouls, do not have domitors, although some will nevertheless be subject to some vampire's blood bond; usually, the vampire in question will come from whatever clan maintains that particular revenant family.

The term "regnant" is somewhat archaic, appearing in the "Old Form" section of the Vampire lexicon, but is nevertheless readily used by many ghouls, particularly those steeped in Kindred society and culture.
