The Calderone is a faction of Ministry thaumaturges from Italy, established in the early 1900s.
Description[]
Charismatic, a master of subtle pressure, chatty. Or, cold, thrill-seeking, opportunistic. Their affable exteriors might mask a deep nihilism, but Calderone are far from apathetic. They'll pick the action or path they believe leads to the most interesting outcome, or at least the one with the soaring high and the plunging crash. Some Calderone sample their own wares, riding the waves with their chosen targets—and getting closer in the process, while others prefer to keep a clear head and hungrily watch the chaos unfold around them. Encountered at wild parties with lots of substances flying around, counterculture hangouts, and sitting on the very edge of the cliff, looking down. Calderone influence on a domain tends to move in specific stages.
History[]
The Calderone emerged from the Valle d'Aosta region of Italy in the early 1900s. They began as a Ministry sub-sect focused on Thaumaturgy. Given the Tremere attitude toward sharing, the Calderone have been embattled since inception, making them very small, but very tough. The Tremere claim the Calderone got their knowledge of Blood Sorcery through diablerie and the Calderone's denials are smug enough that they might as well be confirming it. They haven't sat still on it though, and welcome thin-blooded experiments as openly as any of Carna's covens.
