I love this clan, they reminds me my uncle who fought against the military dictatorship in Brazil in the 60s and 70s when he was young. People called him an anarchist, a free spirit.
My Brujah character was a Great-Grand-Childe of Ilyes, supposedly the one who embraced Troile. She was very much a fighter, but also very social and manipulative, using her brute strength, wit and charm to rule the city beneath the very noses of the Camarilla of Franklin. And, she was the sole character of our City that survived the whole game.
The Brujah I'm playing right now in the current campaign is an ex-cop who, despite being an authority figure himself, despises authority and restricting red tape. He also had a drinking problem. He's almost like a character from a vigilante movie. Not very original but he's awesome nonetheless!
I am writing a fanfiction based off the old VTM and It is incredibly useful the way you exlpain all the clans. I have been entertained and inspired by the way and turn of phrase you use. Thank you.
Here's my top six characters who best represents the brujah 1. Wilson fisk 2. Ozymandias from watchmen 3. Daisy fitzroy 4. Lunatic from Tiger and Bunny 5. Ratigan 6. Amethyst from Stephen universe
And here we are, seven years later. This video will surely get a few views from the new VtM:B game and the recent release of Clan Brujah being playable. Good news for all the new-comers: you've found the best Vampire lore channel on the RUclipss.
Brujah Antediluvian he/ she was diablerie by his childe Troile it happen in the Second City. Patrick O' Reilly Clan Gangrel 1740- 1777 ( Embraced) at Valley Forge, P.A.
Regarding the Brujah name's etymology, there are two plausible versions: 'bruhaha' that means 'a stir; a fuss or uproar'. The other version says it means 'The blessed ones' deriving from hebrew 'barúkh habá' that means 'be welcome' or, literally, 'be blessed the one who comes'.
@clackclickbang Good choice, it's either Brujah or Gangrel for me for the most part, if I'm feeling weird while making a vampire I would go with Nosferatu to switch things up. Thank you for your response, and if you do a Ventrue video next I'd really like to see your take on them.
Didn't Troile kill the Ventru founder? My head canon is that Ventru tried to kill the Brujah Antediluvian but he/she escaped. Troile diablerized Brujah and used the new power to kill Ventru
@clackclickbang Are you at all looking forward to the 20th anniversary Vampire the Masquerade book that's going to be coming? Now that I've been reading anything old World of Darkness I am completely psyched for it.
personaly i remember fondly a campain i played where i chose a brujah... but wanted make sure the noblesse of his warrior spirit shows and he isnt just a punk etc so my character was a martial artist who had been ambushed by a rival school and left to die and then a brujah found and turned him to save him, meaning apart of looking for his sensei's killers he was believing reaching perfection in his arts would help him reach this redeeming lvl. He also only hunted criminals.
@McMahonHater Ah, but the same could be said for an arrogant, powerful Ventrue, Toreador, Malkavian, Nosferatu or even Gangrel or a bottom feeding Tzimisce, Ravnos, Tremere or even Lasombra. Clan Giovanni is not necessarily as arrogant as the individual Giovanni in question.
so I've looked everywhere on the internet, but is there anymore story to christof from the game vampire the masquerade redemption? after the game that is?
+Jared Hale If I remember correctly the Sire of CHristof (Ecaterine the wise?) leads the sabbat in new york in modern nights. Tragically I do not have citation.
A few questions for World of Darkness: Can there be a vampire awakened (mage) or an awakened werewolf? Why are werewolf gifts so weakly written, in comparison with vampire disciplines? Why are there different numbers of lv. 6+ disciplines, and can one create his own? Thaumaturgy vs true magick? Getting away with diablery? Clan name origins? Which cities belong to which vampire sect? Thanks in advance to anyone who ansveres at least one!
Not allowed to play Brujah anymore because I went on a giant monologue in Elysium and accidentally sparked unrest in the city. Eventually ended up as Primogen for the new Prince.
Thank YOU very much for posting this video. I love how you always take on the point of view of the specific clan. Great job. Great job indeed! But I have to agree with @blinddoctorwho that because of your video style it is nigh impossible to guess your favourite clan.
This is prove that no matter how scruffy you look the second you open your mouth and out pops a British accent you sound 9999 times better then you look.
@BaldPolishBiotechnol Clan Baali is one clan / bloodline I'm not that familiar with. I know who they are and have their clanbook, but my knowledge of background and aims is woefully lacking. You never know though.
The Gentleman Gamer That surely not, but this particular branch of Brujah is so different from their counterparts I figured they would be worth mentioning here.
Another great clan guide! What I always liked about the Brujah was the way the clan changed so much over the centuries. A Dark Ages and a modern nights Brujah are so different. Well, their stereotypes are so different. As you said, a clan so radical can be very varied. Some are communists, fascists, or anarchists. As a side note... White Wolf sure liked putting neo nazis all over the place didn't they? Ander says they're actually quite rare. I believe him.
i know in dark ages, tzimice had the ability to turn into a large batlike form, cant remember the name of it tho, but you could retrofit it in such a way that it looks like the vampire lord form via molding your flesh and some such
@clackclickbang I know what you mean. Years ago I loved the Seties beyond everything else. But then I "discovered" the Lasombra and the Malkavian (you know, when played by a GOOD VtM player or storyteller). And at the moment it clearly is clan Brujah.
you did not really touch upon the sabbat brujah, if the brujah are about clinging to their humanity, then how does that work for the sabbat who acknowldge they are not human and create paths of enlightmnet? I suppose the sabbat brujah could ride the wave of ideas in the vampire community, as I am sure some concepts become more popular over time. but still intrested to hear your take on the sabbat brujah.
I must admit Clan Brujah would have to be my favourite but I seem to have a lot of trouble trying to come up with an interesting background. I know you can just go as a gang banger but I'd like to have one who can fight but also lead but again thinking of a background for me is hard.
I love how you present these videos as facts as opposed to just being apart of a game.
Most unrated rpg lore channel ever. You're by far the best presence here on youtube (sorry for being 9 years in late)
I appreciate the kind words!
@@TheGentlemanGamer Such an honor! I was studying Bruja for my first character and luckily you prepare such job :) Thanks again
I started watching your videos and I am addicted! They are amazing in how they mirror what is going on worldwide.
I love this clan, they reminds me my uncle who fought against the military dictatorship in Brazil in the 60s and 70s when he was young. People called him an anarchist, a free spirit.
Wait a moment, people back there hijacked airplanes.
Lol never heard about that.
Patricia Morais Well, with the amnesty law, these things were forgiven, and i guess forgotten too.
Patricia Morais not saying he was a bad person though, i sympathize with this free spirit too.
Your uncle was a hero.

@woodwwad Thanks for your continued support Ander. Always means something to get a comment from you!
I am writing a fanfiction based off the old VTM and It is incredibly useful the way you exlpain all the clans. I have been entertained and inspired by the way and turn of phrase you use. Thank you.
I'm glad you find them useful!
This is fantastic. This have given me inspiration to a new character. Thank you.
Here's my top six characters who best represents the brujah
1. Wilson fisk
2. Ozymandias from watchmen
3. Daisy fitzroy
4. Lunatic from Tiger and Bunny
5. Ratigan

+Morgen Morgg holy shit that list couldn't be more accurate
thanks

The Lost Boys movie best represents the Brujah Clan
Don't forget the movie Near Dark, which came 1 month earlier!
Near Dark is better in every single way.
I really like these videos, you are giving me insights on the WoD vampires that I've never had before.
@GMCiaramella Glad to hear it and glad you enjoy them!
Brujah Antediluvian he/ she was diablerie by his childe Troile it happen in the Second City.
Patrick O' Reilly
Clan Gangrel
1740- 1777 ( Embraced) at Valley Forge, P.A.
@oktoberK Gangrel are now up. Toreador are possibly next. I can't have many more to go...
This one is so well made and so deep. GJ
@eggmansizzle Wonderful! It's out of print, but easy to find.
@hoboyho Or Ventrue. I don't know; my favourite clan changes like the wind.
Bru-hah. It's Spanish for "witch."
Ironically, the series casts them as a warrior clan.
Bruxa, em português.
Regarding the Brujah name's etymology, there are two plausible versions: 'bruhaha' that means 'a stir; a fuss or uproar'. The other version says it means 'The blessed ones' deriving from hebrew 'barúkh habá' that means 'be welcome' or, literally, 'be blessed the one who comes'.
Brujah have always been one of my favorite clans in VtM, I might need to pick up this book....
@hoboyho Right now I would say it's the Followers of Set. Or the Brujah. But it changes.
@clackclickbang Good choice, it's either Brujah or Gangrel for me for the most part, if I'm feeling weird while making a vampire I would go with Nosferatu to switch things up. Thank you for your response, and if you do a Ventrue video next I'd really like to see your take on them.
@boltorange Thanks for watching and for your continued support!
@Nejira Thank you!
@herkles1 Ah, I only have so much time my friend. Maybe I will do a separate video on the antitribu versions of the clans.
I like a well thought out Brujah.
could you make a video about the quei jin they fascinate me
Didn't Troile kill the Ventru founder? My head canon is that Ventru tried to kill the Brujah Antediluvian but he/she escaped. Troile diablerized Brujah and used the new power to kill Ventru
@Tschenggo Thanks for watching!
@kirchhoff42 Thank you for watching! I appreciate every comment.
@arek314 I shall make a video dedicated to that dark clan in time...
@clackclickbang Are you at all looking forward to the 20th anniversary Vampire the Masquerade book that's going to be coming? Now that I've been reading anything old World of Darkness I am completely psyched for it.

He also only hunted criminals.
@blinddoctorwho Difficult to say, as it changes from time to time. At present? I'm partial to the Ventrue.
@eggmansizzle I've got it ordered, and am very much looking forward to that epic tome!
@Deckof51 I think they are a bloodline of the Gangrel (one of the big five) but I'm not 100% sure.
Brujah forever
You always start off videos frowny as hell.
Grim faces for grim RPGs, huh?
Keep up the great work!
That's a nice treatment of the Brujah.
@clackclickbang Thank you. I'd love to learn more about them.
@McMahonHater Ah, but the same could be said for an arrogant, powerful Ventrue, Toreador, Malkavian, Nosferatu or even Gangrel or a bottom feeding Tzimisce, Ravnos, Tremere or even Lasombra. Clan Giovanni is not necessarily as arrogant as the individual Giovanni in question.
@hoboyho You are correct. Bruja without the h.
so I've looked everywhere on the internet, but is there anymore story to christof from the game vampire the masquerade redemption? after the game that is?
+Jared Hale If I remember correctly the Sire of CHristof (Ecaterine the wise?) leads the sabbat in new york in modern nights. Tragically I do not have citation.
I don't recall how much of a role he played, but I believe he shows up during the Clan Novel Saga
@tetsubo57 But you would need a hell of a lot of woods.
If I were to play a Giovanni wouldn't I look down at these guys while "In Character" ?
@TemplarsCrusade01 Maybe one day! I'm always partial to a bit of Vampire.
Excellent!
@clackclickbang I just ordered the book after finding out it is print to order only. 20 minutes before the deadline. Success!
A few questions for World of Darkness: Can there be a vampire awakened (mage) or an awakened werewolf? Why are werewolf gifts so weakly written, in comparison with vampire disciplines? Why are there different numbers of lv. 6+ disciplines, and can one create his own? Thaumaturgy vs true magick? Getting away with diablery? Clan name origins?

But I have to agree with @blinddoctorwho that because of your video style it is nigh impossible to guess your favourite clan.
@blinddoctorwho Ventrue are upcoming, I promise!
@oktoberK Eventually, definitely!
This is prove that no matter how scruffy you look the second you open your mouth and out pops a British accent you sound 9999 times better then you look.
@tetsubo57 A place beyond the rainbow, where the hurdy-gurdy bush shakes and trembles.
Glad to hear it!
Maybe at some point, but it's not my specialist subject by any means.
Okay, brand new favourite clan. Since I study Philosophy and History it's strange I didn't like them before.
@hoboyho Very well...
@BaldPolishBiotechnol Clan Baali is one clan / bloodline I'm not that familiar with. I know who they are and have their clanbook, but my knowledge of background and aims is woefully lacking. You never know though.
@Chiived It's a good image for them. They're ranters and they're ravers, but they often have a point to make.
@clackclickbang Do you know where I live?
Could one play a noir detective from clan Brujah?
Which Clan is the best suited to such a character?
Thanks!
I wonder why the Osebo weren't mentioned, since they rather go by "we cannot control ourselves so someone else has to do it."
The narrator doesn't mention everything and everyone every time ;)
The Gentleman Gamer That surely not, but this particular branch of Brujah is so different from their counterparts I figured they would be worth mentioning here.
Another great clan guide! What I always liked about the Brujah was the way the clan changed so much over the centuries. A Dark Ages and a modern nights Brujah are so different. Well, their stereotypes are so different.

Gentlemen, what is your favorite vampire clan?
Aw Brujah my favorite clan.
I don't know if that's good luck or not.
I am currently playing as Brujah in a campaign.
Would the Vampire Lord form Skyrim Fit in Vampire requiem.
Ryu primeus
No
i know in dark ages, tzimice had the ability to turn into a large batlike form, cant remember the name of it tho, but you could retrofit it in such a way that it looks like the vampire lord form via molding your flesh and some such
@clackclickbang Thank you again. I can't wait to hear about the Gangrel clan.
The Brujah in our campaign is now an Angelic Mexican Wrestler with the durability of a goddamn Abrams M1.
ah fantastic, I have to say, it would be fantastic to play a game of Vampire with you sir! Great vid, well said sir, well said ; )
@23penguins32 They're the movers and the shakers in the Vampire world. Those with the most in common with the humans they desperately try to imitate.
They are an interesting clan, from philosopher kings to street trash. Nice job with the recounting of their lineage.
rated as always
I heard a vampire in Masquerade can be re-embraced by a member of another clan. Is this really in any of the books? If so, what are the rules?
Will you do a video the clan Toreador?
I think he means the video game, VTM: Redemption
Good! How's it going?>
@clackclickbang I know what you mean. Years ago I loved the Seties beyond everything else. But then I "discovered" the Lasombra and the Malkavian (you know, when played by a GOOD VtM player or storyteller). And at the moment it clearly is clan Brujah.
you did not really touch upon the sabbat brujah, if the brujah are about clinging to their humanity, then how does that work for the sabbat who acknowldge they are not human and create paths of enlightmnet?
I suppose the sabbat brujah could ride the wave of ideas in the vampire community, as I am sure some concepts become more popular over time. but still intrested to hear your take on the sabbat brujah.
Awsome man I learned a lot about my clan
@Deckof51 The Bruja are in the nWoD as a bloodline bunch of bikers and gangers.
@clackclickbang And is covered with huge swaths of forest. Every years we have poorly prepared folks getting lost in them. Occasionally, they die.
They're one of the best.
I must admit Clan Brujah would have to be my favourite but I seem to have a lot of trouble trying to come up with an interesting background. I know you can just go as a gang banger but I'd like to have one who can fight but also lead but again thinking of a background for me is hard.
Jason Cutugno go with mobsters (Irish, Italian, and etc) or a Gun Runner.
Mostly never thought to live about 30 and not they are imortals who may not live to 100. Make your bg based on your cause
Nice guide, Cappadocian was good too. Do you take requests? I humbly ask for Lasombra :)
Ah, always a good one.
"They fight like lions!"
Very true.
Certainly! A noir detective could fit most any clan.
Do you intend to make a video on Clan Baali?
Good man!
There's more to them than guns and rage.
Or one of the fates...
So why are they called "bruja"? (Spanish for: witch)
Tyrant-Den
Because they were more one dimensional when the game first came out.
@clackclickbang Of course brother, I do so enjoy your channel.
