Pontifex is a servant of the Tremere Council of Seven. To each councilor, seven Pontifices are sworn, making a total sum of 49 Pontifices all around the world.
Overview[]
Pontifices are the second-in-command to the Council of Seven, as near at the peak of the Pyramid a normal Tremere could be. As such, they must have proven an enormous amount of Thaumaturgical knowledge, and 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 instead focus on topics like economics, politics or supernatural activities, and frequently overlap.
They are also responsible for appointing Regents and Lords.
