Does the bond a ghoul have to her domitor break upon embrace?
While some suggest that death itself can break the bond (that essentially a ghoul is “reborn”) there is nothing in the main book or the ghoul book to support this claim. There are some paradoxes though if you stop to consider. A long term giovanni ghoul keeps his disciplines, and yet the merit in the giovanni book makes them bound to someone within the clan. Tremere, on the other hand, while many may have served the clan for years before embrace, become partially bonded to the elders of their clan as a clan flaw upon embrace; which should not happen if there was already a bond in place to a domitor. The second could explained by tremere witchery, perhaps the cup and the ritualistic elements of the embrace break the bond but again there’s no evidence that this is the case in any of the core books. The only ways to break a bond are through proper application of a Vaulderie, a 5th level tremere ritual that is very rare, and of course time spent away from domitor and application of willpow
