The Generations
FOURTH AND FIFTH GENERATIONS: Few of this generation remain active... It can be assumed they have reached their maximum potential in two or three Disciplines.
SIXTH, SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GENERATIONS: They control the Camarilla (at least
they think they do), comprise the majority of the princes, and are the primogen of many cities. Those who remain in positions of visibility tend to be important figures: leaders of clans or bloodlines, or princes of great cities. Princes of American cities tend to be of the seventh or eighth generations. Members of these generations have most commonly reached their maximum potential in one or two disciplines . Members of the eighth generation seem to be the last Kindred viewed as 'elders.' The majority of them were created before the modern age, and that is evident in their manner and bearing.
NINTH AND TENTH GENERATIONS: Though they are sometimes called elders, these
Kindred often associate themselves with members of the younger generations. Members of these generations are frequently called ancillae, though this is based on age more than generation. Most were created in the modern era, and thus are somewhat alien in temperament to the older Kindred.
ELEVENTH, TWELFTH, AND THIRTEENTH GENERATIONS: The most recent generations of Kindred are often called neonates. Most characters belong to these generations. They are still powerful creatures, but the special gifts of Caine's blood (the unique powers and abilities) are rarely found here. Born within recent memory, the Kindred of these generations are products of societies that have received the benefits of, and been victims of, rapid change
FOURTEENTH AND FIFTEENTH GENERATIONS: There are exceedingly few of these
