Martyr : once epr turn, when another minion enter combat, this vampire can burn a blood to enter combat instead. He can't strike or play card the first round.

Optimist : the first time this vamprie act in a turn, if it's unsuccessful, this vampire can burn a blood to untap.

Competitor : at the end of the turn, if this minion successfully acted and no other minion you control have acted, he gain 2 blood.

Jester: Once per turn, while this vampire is acting, you may flip a coin after the action is announced. If heads the vampire gets +1 stealth. If tails the vampire gets -1 stealth. If the coin lands on its side, the vampire gets +1 stealth and you gain a pool.

Can't really think of anything this moment. But I wanted to separate these out as what I'd like to select 4~5 to make Camarilla Archetypes. Just like the Sabbat have special archetypes, I think other sects could have them as well.

I'm currently thinking Critic, Director, Manipulator, Praise-Seeker, and Sycophant as the most Camarilla-esque.

I have no idea about Laibon or Anarchs (though Avant Garde seems like a natural).

Too bad Perfectionist casts too large of a shadow upon this design space...

Although it´s fair to give the Camarilla a bunch of sect-exclusive archetypes just like the Sabbat, I actually think making archetypes sect-exclusive was a mistake by the designers. A Camarilla dude can also be Sociopath right? :)

I wan´t to emphasize that I don´t think archetypes has to be master cards, not even Trifles. I´d like to see more cards that are put into play like Abbot and Enkil Cog.

Well, it was a confusion between archetype and path. And I agree that an untapping action and / or an action modifer would be good for archetypes.
