Bitter infighting divides much of the clan regarding what constitutes "art," but all are united in their zeal to defend the ideals of an and beauty — and sensuality — though artistic expression. Some members of the clan do not possess any notable artistic ability, but they support their clan's interests through their patronage and social graces. 

When a party, ball or showing is arranged in Cainite society, it is most likely a Toreador organizing the event, and it is certain that the clan will bring out its most glittering members in force. In cramped artists' studios or opulent manors, the Toreador surround themselves with the trappings with art in all forms, and carry that elegance wherever they travel and meet.

This clan is commonly found in Courts of the Camarilla. Anarch Toreador are rarer, but on the rise, as the bounds of what art is has expanded, but the roses of the Tower will generally look down upon Anarch roses, and tend to consider it a phase. 

Their in-clans are Presence, Auspex and Celerity.
