Troile founded the modern Brujah clan, although it falls far from its original precepts. The original founder of clan Brujah was Ilyes. Ilyes was a dispassionate philosopher-warrior, and all his childer were the same, save one: Troile. Troile was extremely passionate.
All Brujah descend from Troile. However, there are some few left who claim descent from Ilyes. This bloodline refers to itself as the True Brujah. It should be noted that Troile is not a usurper in the traditional sense in that she (?) assumed the postion of 3rd generation early in vampires history and so can be considered on par with the other ancients.
Troile was defeated in combat during the siege of Carthage, apparantly without falling to another 3rd generation. Some sources cite a Malkavian methuselah using a potent ability of Dementation; whatever the cause, Troile is absent from Gehenna, implying that she(?) is dead. (According to the Baali, Troile descended into the earth, presumably using Protean, in an embrace with his/her lover Moloch [a Baali Methuselah], in order to hide from the Roman attackers. The vampires of Rome had the ground sown with salt and enacted a ritual that locked Troile and Moloch beneath the earth in eternal Torpor. Take this as you will.)
During the Time of Judegement, One possible scenario has Ilyes, the Original Brujah Antediluvian, aiding Lilth in her attempt to destroy Caine.
Ilyes escaped his childe's diablerie by using his own discipline, Temporis, to go forward in time. He emerged in Lilith's Garden sometime in the Dark Ages, with several thousand years having passed. However, because Temporis utilizes the temporal energies of Vampires (their immortality) Ilyes experienced the trip as several hundred thousand years, ever holding a grudge against Troile.
When he found himself in Lilith's Garden, she offered him the chance to destroy his childe and Grandsire, and he accepted.
Troile, being the only Brujah embraced by Ilyes, makes the "True Brujah" an anomaly. That being the case, some of Troile's childer either spontaneously developed, or rediscovered the lost Discipline, Temporis, that was the true legacy of their clan. Ilyes despises the True Brujah even more so then the "false" Brujah, due to the fact that the origin story they created, implies that Ilyes sired more then one Childe.
Ilyes Disciplines (the known ones anyway) are Potence, Presence, and Temporis. (Note, Because of Temporis' time altering powers, a Vampire may either posses Temporis, or Celerity, not both.)
