Regnus of Tremere is one of the first who began to push for educational power establishment in the Tremere. His era is after the Schism war, and he became a very prolific writer.  Regnus was trained by a powerful Tremere who was a particularly bad teacher.  His own magical skills were incredibly poor, but his mind and voice were well-trained.  He firmly believed that the Tremere could excel by educating each other with such books. His early works are practically unknown, but his superiors acquired numerous magical enhancements to his communication skills, in return for his dedicated creation of books for his House.  Despite the fact that his books were only for the Tremere, a near-complete collection was looted by an irate Tytalus during a Wizard's War, and the Tytalus released copies of the books throughout the Normandy tribunal as a mockery for the Tremere he was feuding with.
