Nobody says he can't run a fighting Elder I'm sure they have Eldritch Knights in the clan sort of thing a Tremere that uses magic and has martial training might be assigned to the city since the Sabbat and the like are at the gates. Ventrue I'm sure have warlords of their own that put themselves out their to defend their clan. It just has to be in my mind more, balanced, in approach stronger in magic and less combat oriented but not shabby. But I can see him having a gun enchanted with arcane silver rounds or having a blood magic forged sword and getting busy with them when not using magic. In fact the clan should have such mages a combat arm to call in just in case force is needed. By the description it would fit for this Chantary his character is overseeing.<br/><br/>As for the wealth the Tremere would have personal wealth I'm sure but big assets are likely handed to Tremere to manage, on a case by case basis. As I see it like the Prince hands out domains for an Elder or Neonate to manage and can take away if they fail to do so wisely, the same here for the Tremere overall.
