In the various White Wolf game lines, various characters will be marked as signature characters, and thus used extensively in example text, in fiction, splatbooks, source material and the like. In the original World of Darkness games, signature characters were often involved in advancing the metaplot. While Exalted does have signature characters, the game's less rigorous metaplot means that they are generally less significant.
Signature characters can also represent certain aspects of World of Darkness concepts, such as a clan, an Auspice, or another division of power; for example, the Orpheus signature characters also match up with and represent a Shade and/or Lament. Signature characters are often used as guides or mentors that a Storyteller may use to help navigate new players into the World of Darkness, such as the case with Vampire: The Masquerade, where the signature characters could be used as the sires of PCs.
