 Apprentices at this level have more freedom than any other in the Clan. A Regent, Lord, or higher has the responsibility of caring for those below them: these Apprentices are required only to serve the Clan in some way, attend the compulsory meetings, and make irregular reports to their Regent.

 Rank governs a lot of the public things within the Clan. Tremere will enter an official Elysium meeting in Rank order, and leave in Rank order. If two Tremere meet publically, the lower ranked gives deference to the higher.
