  Toreador
Call it expression, art, or beauty, the Toreador are after something that no other clan is. Excellence in artistry in all things call to the Toreador (those deserving of the Embrace, in any case), and it is the quest to achieve and preserve that sort of achievement that drives the clan.
Deference is showed to Toreador of demonstrable age, knowledge or talent, but for every neonate eager to pay homage to an elder whose work he admires, there's a former exotic dancer claiming that his physical beauty makes him a walking work of art.
Mortal and immortal artists attend, demonstrations of great beauty and savagery are given, everyone (who survives) has legendary stories to tell, and, at the end of the festivities, the mortal whom the Toreador acclaim as the greatest artist of his or her generation receives the Embrace and much acclaim.

 noctalis.com :: World of Darkness :: Clan Toreador :: Ghouls
Toreador tend to select their ghouls from among the mortals they socialise with at parties, art openings, theatrical productions, musical performances and poetry readings, picking and choosing for “artistic” (ie no particularly logical) reasons.
Status disintegrates in a tidal wave of humiliation, and the former beloved is tossed to the wayside by her fickle Toreador domitor.
Outcast Toreador ghouls commonly seek (and occasionally find) service in the ranks of another “respectable” clan, such as the Ventrue; the new domitor is delighted to take in the beautiful, wounded ghoul, providing affection and vitae in exchange for a few trifles of information on the cruel ex-domitor.

 The Toreador of Chicago: An Overview
Of course, when the Toreador Brieanna Haydn became the Prince of Chicago, it seemed as if the Toreador Clan had become the ultimate rulers of the city and, indeed, the Toreador were the most numerous Clan in Chicago for a brief period of time.
Then, one of the Toreador, Celia Delaney by name, was discovered to be a Sabbat infiltrator and spy - and the revelation of her true nature essentially forced the Toreador Greater Harpy to step down in disgrace.
She was a well-known member of the Toreador Clan there, and was also a well-known classical pianist and violinist under the mortal guise of Jennifer Routnen (apparently the second mortal persona she has adopted since her Embrace).

 Salon de la Rose | Toreador Prestige
Part of the reason that most Toreador are such party animals is they want the opportunity to buttonhole their primogen, express their views, and find out news.
Cassandra, on the other hand, is a high Prestige Toreador poet, but she is unpublished and virtually unknown outside the small circle of Toreador in Edinburgh.
In fact, many poseurs like to think of themselves as the critics of the Toreador scene and constantly discuss the quality of the artistes output, seeking to gain power and Prestige themselves by being the arbiters of Prestige and demonstrating their ability to make or break an artist.

 The SF Site Featured Review: Clan Novel: Toreador
Stewart Wieck is the co-founder and co-owner of White Wolf.
He began in 1986 by producing White Wolf Magazine with his brother and then went on to co-design the World of Darkness with major contributions to Vampire: The Masquerade (and minor ones to Werewolf: The Apocalypse), before leading the design of Mage: The Ascension in 1993.
That aspect of White Wolf's World of Darkness brings great tension to their vampire stories, and Clan Novel: Toreador is no exception.
