Briefing Doc: Clan Gangrel in Vampire: The Masquerade

Main Themes:

  • The Beast: Gangrel are deeply connected to their primal, animalistic nature. This manifests in their preference for the wilderness, their fighting prowess, their susceptibility to frenzy, and their ability to shape-shift.
  • Outsiders: Gangrel are inherently independent and often choose to exist on the fringes of Kindred society. They distrust complex politics and prefer straightforward interactions.
  • Survivalists: Gangrel are defined by their resilience and adaptability. They are forced to rely on their instincts and strength to survive, both in the wild and within the cutthroat world of Kindred.

Key Facts and Ideas:

Origins:

  • The Gangrel Antediluvian is Anuya, a figure shrouded in myth and conflicting stories. Some tales depict her as a barbarian raised by wolves, others link her to Scandinavian origins and the Norse god Odin.
  • Gangrel themselves do not dwell on their history. They prioritize the present and practical survival over lineage or tradition.
