The Macellari are a bloodline of the Ventrue that were spawned in the ending nights of the Roman Empire. They see themselves as the crème de la crème of their Clan, exemplified by their rarified taste - which includes masses of vitae and even human flesh. The Macellari use their wealth to cultivate a number of tastes in mortal blood, viewing themselves gourmandizing vintners of exceptional draughts of Vitae. Their havens are often opulent and shared with at least two other members of the bloodline who act as their compatriots during their dinners and keep the mortal cattle fed.
