Tremere have none of the motivations for interaction other clans do, nor do they manifest the excuses to be loners. Tremere are best thought of as pack animals. They stick together. Fight one, you fight them all (most of the time). Unlike Gangrel, for example, the Tremere has no reason to be alone, and Ventrue need to exercise their influence in plain view often where Tremere avoid such actions.
Unlike Malkavians or Toreador, they have no reason to be friendly or talkative. They are an eternal sequence of intricate contradictions, built upon ravings and chantings that defy logic on a regular basis for what are always for nonsensical reasons, pursued with incredible ardor. And their presence is never met without uneasiness and distrust.
People will fear and probably respect you at some base level though they will probably never let on about it. Many other clans view the Tremere as the dark side of the force. Wisely so, as most Tremere are, again, evil creatures of darkness out to rule the world from beyond the grave. And while being able to conjure perfect margaritas at a Toreador party seems a parlor trick, being able to set blood on fire inside an enemy's veins is not.
Remember fear. It's a recurring theme with the Clan.
