Bertram Tung is a character in Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines. He is a Nosferatu who resides in an abandoned oil tank at the SunCo Gasoline facility, in Santa Monica.

Personality and Traits[]
Tung is one of the few vampires who is friendly towards the fledgling. He is uninterested in politics, stating that he doesn't want to become the Prince of Santa Monica. He is also very intelligent, planning from the shadows, like the majority of the Nosferatu. As he is loyal to his clan and primogen, Bertram is therefore loyal to the Camarilla, despite a slight reluctance. Tung is not afraid to mock the miserable world he lives in, and the various people in it.
He has great loyalty towards his clan and to the Camarilla, although he doesn't think much of the Prince, LaCroix. If the fledgling is malkavian and refers to LaCroix as "the jester", Tung will laugh, before quickly advising against saying that out loud. Tung also respects Nines because of his charisma and thinks that because of him, many Kindred turn Anarch every day.
Tung is also implied to have a sexual relationship with Jeanette Voerman.

- Despite clan Nosferatu being the most computer-savvy Kindred clan, one of Tung's passwords is simply his last name. Passwords containing the computer's owner's name are some of the easiest to crack by hackers. Although this may be for the sake of making hacking simpler for gameplay.
