Mage: the Ascension is part of the Old World of Darkness, so absolutely.
The way the story goes is that Tremere was an older magus of the Order of Hermes, who served as one of the most important members of the Order. He was also one of the weaker mages. While most powerful mages are able to halt their aging, Tremere, though brilliant, could not do this. But he so greatly desired life that he decided to commit the unthinkable. He and his followers kidnapped a Tzimisce and drank its blood, turning themselves into vampires.
But this immortality wasn't enough. Tremere was determined to become the founder of a whole lineage of vampires, and unless he found some way to lower his generation, he would never achieve legitimacy. So Tremere staged a second kidnapping. He learned the location of the Salubri antediluvian, and diablerized him, effectively making Tremere one of the third generation, just like the other clan founders. The Tremere then waged a vicious war of propaganda against the Salubri to hide the remnants of their vicious crime, for the Salubri were the only true "good" vampires, whose very existence was to serve as a bridge back from vampirism to God.
Anyway, back to your question, and remember that this information is NOT widely known throughout the World of Darkenss. After the Order of Hermes discovered Tremere's treachery (about 150 years after the fact) the Order waged a war against their brethren, called the "Masassa war." This war resulted in huge losses on both sides, and both the Tremere and the Order of Hermes realized that they did not have the resources to eliminate the other, so an uneasy truce resulted. Periodically there are flare-ups, but for the most part both the Tremere and the Order of Hermes tend to leave each other alone.
