The Gangrel are closely affiliated with the Gypsies, or the Rom (as they refer to themselves). In fact, it is said that the Gypsies are the mortal descendents of the Gangrel's founder and they are under his protection. Whether or not this is true Gangrel will never harm or embrace a Gypsy. Further, through long standing tradition, Gangrel are expected to aid the Gypsies whenever necessary. Due to these ties, not a few Gangrel have adopted much from the Gypsy culture, including mannerisms, linguistic elements, and even dress.

Also, while it has been established that Gypsies will sometimes aid Gangrel in return, their aid is not something that should be expected. Perhaps this is due to the fact that the Rom have a very insular culture. They don't trust outsiders, even when they are Gangrel.
