Mistress Lesa

Full Name: Lesa Cromwell
Associated Names: The Siren
Age: 2800+
Bloodline: Lahmian
Sire: Neferata
Place of Birth: A now destroyed village at the foot of Silver Pinnacle

Description
Lesa is quite possibly the most beautiful creature in existence. Even before she was sired she was stunning with long flowing black hair contrasting sharply with milky skin. Eyes that changed from green to blue and a full perfect figure. It was not just her looks but also her aura, magical charged it amplified her looks making her renowned within leagues for her beauty. When she was sired by Neferata her beauty was now out of this world and thus incurred the wrath of her sire, hating her get for surpassing her won beauty she was hounded out of the Silver Pinnacle and is still hunted after to this day.

(How Lesa's look works in the TVC
Combined with her looks has an aura which makes all creatures, undead, daemon etc attracted to her. The most someone can do its fight the attraction but they will never be able to remove it completely. In the RP this shows as low level characters i.e hero's and lower are entranced by her and would do anything she requests. Lord level characters would still be attracted but it would be able to resist its affects so would be more of distraction etc. This applies to all whether a 4000 year old vampire, a mindless zombies or a bloodthirster!)

Equipment
The Master Sword

Brief History
Growing up Lesa was renowned for her beauty, however unfortunately her village was located at the base of the Silver Pinnacle and thus attracted the attentions of Neferata. Captured on the Vampire Queens command her village was raised ti the ground and she was sired by the Queen herself. However Neferata came to regret her decision as Lesa'a beauty amplified by the Blood Kiss eclipsed her own. In rage she attempted to kill her get but Lesa managed to escape and thus began her wandering across the old world. With her natural aptitude for magic she began to search for artifacts and knowledge, partly to fuel her own thirst for knowledge and partly so if she faced Neferata in the future she would be able to match her sire. She realised that her beauty could get what she wanted and matched with a perverse and sexual appetite she soon learned how to use men to get what she wanted. Throughout the years she has used and laid with many including Sigmar before his ascension to man-god, concubine to Drachenfels where she learned much forgotton lore and various others. At the colleges of magic which she helped found under the guise of a man (her aura unfortunately making many fellow wizards think they were turning gay) she master all the lores of magic bar life and also stole the fabled Master Sword. It was here she also met her beloved husband Milosh, since their joining they have been inseparable and perhaps one of the strongest love stories ever known for vampires.
At the current date Lesa is one of the most powerful wizards in existence, on par with Mannfred though the warpstone experiments performed on her by Rask in the TVC have only gone to amplify her abilities.

Pro's
Extremely powerful wizard, the most powerful on the council.
Extremely beautiful and thus can use this to her advantage to get what she wants (this works on all creatures of all sexes)
Lahmian speed, i.e very fast
Master Sword - a powerful sword the makes the bearer stronger and faster.

Con's
Very decadent and perverted, will have her way with man, women or beast, can mean sometimes she is distracted if there is someone or something she wants to have.
Not as skilled in combat as other lords, she still has the blinding speed of Lahmians as well as her attendant daemon who watches over her and enhances her already powerful magical abilities. RP wise she will not be as good in combat as the other lords although still powerful compared to mortals etc.

Milosh Cromwell

Full Name: Milosh Cromwell
Associated Names: The Wraithlord
Age: 1632
Bloodline: von Carstein
Sire: Vlad / Vashanesh von Carstein
Place of Birth: Altdorf

Description
Before his accident Milosh was a reasonably handsome man, standing just under 6ft he was slim though muscular, dark almost black eyes and his hair long, tied back, whilst shaved at the sides as was the style of the men in his family from before they can remember.He was born in a comfortable merchant family and dressed to match the lifestyle he had, his one main problem was his distaste for the upper classes. he feels no man is better than him and hates been looked down upon. Magically adept and as sexually adventurous as his wife they make a perfect couple.

Equipment
Mortexsillium also known as the Banishment Blade - This blade is deadly to all unholy creatures, especially to daemons and undead and can kill them with the slightest blow. It also enhances strength and is razor sharp and so is just as deadly against mortals etc.

Brief History
Milosh grew up normally in the merchant lifestyle and as eldest would have taken over his fathers business. Unknown to many around him Milosh had a dark seed inside, his hate for the upper classes combined with his iron will strove him to seek to break free from the bounds of his class. He was his own worse enemy though, his rampant sexual appetite breed rumours, most of which concealed a grain of truth, these held him back and ruined any chances he ever had. Knowing in this lifetime he could never fix the mistakes he had made Milosh vowed to live until all who remembered him was dead and he could start anew. Through difficult means he managed to find an old necromantic grimoire. Whilst there was a few setbacks that nearly killed him due to the coding in the books he slowly expanded his knowledge and power. Power attracts power and one dark night Milosh was visited by a stranger offering immortality and the all the power it brought. He didn't think twice readily accepting the offer, unlike may others Milosh wanted the vampiric lifestyle and has never regretted it. However he did not realise that accepting the kiss would leave him in the control of another and so one night he attacked his sire to and made good his escape, it is unknown why Vlad decided to let him escape or feigned his defeat as he could have crushed the newly sired Milosh, but no doubt he had plans of his own.
Out in the world on his own Milosh was unsure what to do he had always wanted to expand his already great magical abilities, upon hearing there was a magical artifact supposedly created by Nagash as well as the fabled Master Sword being taken to the colleges of magic he decided to infiltrate and steal them. However when he got there he found someone else had the same idea - Mistress Lesa. It was love at first sight with their similar tastes and drives. However years later disaster struck, Miosh was attempting to increase his powers again and he has an unusual miscast which resulted in is corporeal body being destroyed. Lesa manged to bind his body to this plane as a vampiric wraithlord, they now both search for a way to him to have flesh and blood again - he has currently managed to gain a corporeal body once more through the aid of the vampire council, however whether this is permanent or not remains to be seen.

Pro's
Authoritative and clear minded Milosh thinks well in the heat of battle and is well versed in tactics.
Excellent combat skills though he cannot match Blood Dragon's etc.
Powerful necromantic magical ability.
Unparallelled spirit and wraith control, he can summon dozens of wraiths at a time and can control spirits better than any other vampire.
Can surround himself and his wraiths in a dark mist to travel across distances extremely fast.

Con's
Very decadent and perverted, same as his wife and thus can be compromised by such things.
Fanatically loyal to his wife, will do anything required to save her.
His corporeal body is still not stable and thus he can become spirit like at certain times, sometimes to a detrimental effect.

Graveclaw

Full Name: Graveclaw
Associated Names: Karl (Human Form)
Age: 850
Bloodline: Strigoi
Sire: Unknown
Place of Birth: Unknown

Description
Large bat-like ears, his every one of his teeth has turned into a fang, he has lost all his hair and his skin is pale green like rotting skin, he smells of rotting meat, he can move on all fours or upright at which he towers over eight foot. He is extremely heavily muscled and moves with extreme speed and agility. Wears a pair of tattered pants and the rusted remains of a chain shirt and a heavy Iron shoulder plate.

Equipment
Large razor sharp claws and teeth.

Brief History
Little is known of Graveclaw past except he was forced into becoming a vampire. Never being able to accept the bloodkiss has degenerated in strigoi into a creature filled full of bloodlust and hate. He has an ongoing vendetta against the von Carstein bloodline, yet again the reason for this is unsure. Some clues to Graveclaws past have arisen in the form of his human granddaughter mouse who has been brought up by the vampire, indeed he shows her all the love and paternal protectiveness as would be expected in any human family. The most notable point of Graveclaw is his stark refusal to drink human blood, to the point where he is disgusted by it, surviving on only animal blood has not had the negative effect it would normally have on other vampires, in fact Graveclaw is the largest and physically strongest vampire in the council.

Pro's
Immense Strength - Graveclaw is by far the strongest vampire on the council, easily able to bend dwarven forged steel and rip creatures limb from limb with ease.
Agile - As well as being very agile and able to effectively dodge blows Graveclaw can scale vertical walls and even hand upside using his strong claws as anchors.
Thick Hide - Graveclaw's skin is extremely thick and leathery acting as a natural armour, it is quite capable of deflecting slashes and low powered weapons like arrows are not able to penetrate it.

Con's
Animal rage - Driven to hate by his tainted blood Graveclaw can be unpredictable and thus can fly in to rages or attack when tactically bad to so.
Refusal to kill Humans - Graveclaw refuses to kill humans, even if they are trying to hill him! Whilst he will hurt them he will not go to the point of killing them which can leave him and others open to counter attack

Mouse

Full Name: Mouse
Associated Names: None
Age: 1 Day
Bloodline: Blood Dragon
Sire: Merovich
Place of Birth: Unknown

Description
A young attractive girl clack hair and the unblemished skin of youth Mouse looks like a fresh faced nineteen year old. However her eyes show a look of pure hunger. Newly raised by Merovich she is highly unstable and has not yet learned to control her bloodlust. However she still retains she extreme agility and fighting prowess she was taught as her human by her Grandfather, these abilities have amplified exponentially by the Blood Dragon blood Merovich forced upon her

Equipment
Light armour, multiple daggers

Brief History
Like her grandfather little is known of Mouse, as a young child she was taken under the strigois care at a young age and taught how to fight, how stalk others without being seen and become extremely swift. As a human she had speed and agility that matched certain vampires and she used this to be her grandfathers eyes and ears where he could no tread. Highly protective of her grandfather she loves him dearly and would do anything to protect him as well as obeying his word to the letter. At the Battle of Nexeternus Mouse was defeated bye the Vampire Lord Merovich who forced the Blood Kiss upon her. Newly sired she is now conflicted between her prior loyalties and the control that is created between Sire and get.

Pro's
Agile - Being extremely as a human has meant that as a vampire Mouse is extremely fast and agile
Dagger Play - Trained since a young age in the use of daggers Mouse is very effective at using them in combat and also throwing them.

Con's
Newly Sired - Being a new sired vampire means Mouse has little control over her bloodthirst and has not yet learnt how to control all her new abilities. This makes her performances inconsistent and unreliable.
Conflicted - Whilst Mouse has a deep love for her Grandfather this is fought against by the power Merovich has over her. Controlled by her sire it can only be a matter of time before Mouse is forced to betray others and therefore cannot be trusted.

Simon von Carstein

Full Name: Simon von Carstein
Associated Names: Scourge of Morr, The Poetic Fiend
Age: 616
Bloodline: von Carstein
Sire: Isabella von Carstein
Place of Birth: Unknown

Description
Roughly six foot tall with with short blond hair Simon was sired at the age of twenty six and continues to look this age except for his eyes which reflect the six centuries he has lived. Simon's appearance has tended to change over the centuries. In his younger days during his exile he dressed to resemble a member of the working class after he sired Sariah he started to revert back to clothes that reflected the minor nobleman he was. In battle he wore standard armour until shortly after the death of Konrad when he discovered a Hauberk that may have belonged to Walach Harkon not far from Grim Moor he tends to wear this now as it is superior to his old armour. He carries a magical blade called Animessor once wielded by a vampire hunter it works just as well on mortals too. In complete contradiction to his brother Simon is always smiling as he enjoys the life that he leads and sees it as a fascinating game.
Simon is trying to forge his own version of Vlad's dream desiring to create his own empire of living and Dead where all vampires save those descended from him have been exterminated. He has already begun by capturing his own princedom in the Border Princes which he has ruled for over two hundred years however with his victories over chaos and Khemrians his forces have grown immeasurably and its only a matter of time before he tries to forcibly unite the the Border Princedoms into one nation under his rule.
As a ruler he is generally popular with his subjects for keeping crime and taxes low and being sparing with their lives he encourages them to worship him as a demi god and father figure who watches over them he generally feeds off criminals and slaves captured from neighbouring lands and has forbidden his family from hunting their own people under pain of death he enjoys playing the part of benevolent noble though he shows no mercy to any invaders of his lands some he kills but others like goblins and skaven he condemns to work in the haunted mines of Nexeternus they rarely last long as they're either frightened to death or just vanish and Simon has considered using dwarf slaves in the hope they might last longer.
Simon's long term goals is to be better to eclipse all other vampires especially Mannfred and become the most powerful one of all so he has taken to feeding off his own kind to increase his powers believing that by doing this he will become a god on the mortal coil. Despite his love of battle and combat Simon is not an outstanding military man as at heart he is a scholar and a collector of rare artifacts and clocks he has secretly financed several expeditions to Lustria to recover ancient Slann Lore. The pride of his collection is a painting of a future world of the dead painted by Melchior himself.

Equipment
Animessor the Sword of von Kronos - This Blade is the bane of monsters and undead alike, able to cut apart foes with one blow
Simon's Bloody Hauberk - Simon found this Bloody Hauberk on a battlefield, rumoured to be Walach's it offers considerable protection
Sceptre of Ikaana - This potent magic item enhances Simon's summoning abilities allowing to bind many more undead than normal.

Brief History
A minor nobleman and famous sylvanian poet Simon was sired by Isabella so that he could compose poems for her forever. Simon was exiled by Vlad for antagonising everyone as becoming a vampire had radically altered his personality. He was reconciled with his grandsire forty years later and grew to greatly respect him Vlad was the only vampire Simon ever acknowledged as his Lord as he refused to serve Herman Posner, Konrad and Mannfred instead striking out on his own to forge his own destiny.
He is known as the scourge of Morr by mortals due to the terrible crimes he committed during the first war of the Vampire Counts and because ever since he defeated Deiter von Kronos he has made a point of hunting down and challenging any Vampire hunters connected to the Order of Morr mostly because he grew tired of fights he knew he was going to win. His second title The Poetic Fiend was given to him by other vampires due to his poetry and his habit of killing his own kind and it is title they use to refer to him.

Pro's
Expert Swordsman - Though he cannot match the skills of the Blood Dragons, Simon is known as possibly the best swordsman of the von Carstein line, his unusual cloak and sword technique has earned him many victories.
Vast Resources - Simon has the largest military force of the council, with hundreds of thousands of undead, mortal troops and mercenary ogres included in his forces his army outnumbers all others on the vampire council.
Potent Necromancer - As a collector of unusual magic items Simons necromantic powers are excellent though he cannot match the like of V'azrin or Lesa.

Con's
Laid Back - Simon can sometimes not take things seriously enough, this can mean he can react to situations too late leaving him in a negative position.
Outburst - When Simon does finally lose his temper her becomes extremely irrational and unpredictable, however this is difficult to do although insulting Sariah normally works.

Full Name: Sariah von Carstein
Associated Names: The Dark Duchess
Age: 595
Bloodline: von Carstein
Sire: Simon von Carstein
Place of Birth: Unknown

Description
Curvy and trim with shoulder length raven dark hair wears a crown of silver and a dress with a shroud that twitches with life of its own, and carries a large magical staff with a silver skull on the end.
Insane and childlike most of the time has been known to have more lucid moments. She suffers from precognition and is skilled at hypnotising and beguiling her foes regards her gets as children and treats them as such. The vargulf she treats the same way a human would treat a small puppy and her mesmeric abilities enable her to control it without being ripped apart. She has a liking for bunny rabbits and Simon is always having to catch one for her to look after as a pet. It has to be said they don't last long.
Her favourite prey is children and this makes her hated by the living more than many of the other vampires

Equipment
Nightshroud - This potent items exudes magical tendrils that grasp would be attackers rendering Sariah almost impossible to touch.
Staff of the Danse - This potent magic item enables Sariah to infuse the dead around her with more energy then normal, this makes the fell foes, fast and deadly.

Brief History
Cursed with precognition Sariah was victimised from birth. As she grew older the visions she saw and the voices she hard drove her to the brink of insanity. Eventually locked in a mental asylum alone she was saved by Simon von Carstein, her had heard of her legendary powers and also her beauty and had decided he wanted her. Rescuing her he brought her into the life of the undead and since then the two have proved inseparable.

Pro's
Precognition - With the ability to see things before they happen it is very difficult to surprise or ambush Sariah, she can also foresee other things which means she can gleam very valuable information about her enemies. She can also use a lesser form of her powers enable her to fight more effectively as she predicts the moves of her foes.
Potent Necromancer - Sariah is a powerful necromancer like her husband, both are on par when it comes to casting magic. However one notable ability in this regards is Sariah's ability to control the undead more effectively, those within very close proximity actually fight and react with martial abilities of skilled warriors.
Hypnosis - Sraiah can effectively hypnotize those of weak willed, especially animals to do her bidding

Con's
Insanity - Sariah spends most of her waking moments lost inside her insane dreams, sometimes she will not react to danger or will give orders that make no sense. Though she does have periods of lucidity these are random and as Sariah should be treated carefully.
Poor combat abilities - Sariah has not received any kind of formal training in combat and is also less powerful that he other lords, In combat she cannot match even some of the less powerful vampires but she is still more than a match for mortals

Magneqrox

Full Name: Magneqrox
Associated Names: None
Age: 804
Bloodline: Unknown
Sire: Unknown
Place of Birth: Norsca

Description
Magneqrox looks like a humanoid Dragon without wings. He is almost constantly grinning with his eyes raised up, giving him a laidback appearance. His tail, hands, feet, head and a path along his back are all on constant fire. He can deactivate and activate these fires with little effort. His underbelly is beige-yellow, while the rest of his body is black, with dark brown trim. His fireball-like eyes have no pupils and are yellow-orange-red in color.
Magneqrox fights dirty. Concepts such as honor and fairness are relatively alien to him. However, he will give opponents he has taken a liking to the chance to fight back before they die, should such a situation arise.
He likes using fast, unpredictable flurries of blows as to unsettle and debase the enemy. He likes pretending to be struggling in order to make the enemy overconfident, thinking he's just a big pushover. When the perfect moment comes, Magneqrox will launch a successive flurry and not stop until he has to or the enemy is defeated.
Against magic users, he will simply rush them as fast as he can carry himself and attack at every moment. His thinking is that an effective offense will prevent them from having their own offense, thus rendering his weakness to magic irrelevant.
Magneqrox is vulnerable to agile, quick movement and cannot effectively command, unless he manages to think of something, thus his resourceful and clever nature coming into play. However, he excels against heavy targets. Bulky warriors in their tough suits of armour and carrying their big weaponry will be challenged against Magneqrox - especially if Magneqrox has fought the opponent before.

He has four abilities:
Metamorph - This requires Magneqrox to use Phantasmagoria and stick out his own heart, then eat it. His heart socket will be visibly empty, a red mist forms around him, he grows wings, attains a much more demonic and draconic look, increases in size and can read his enemy's mind as long as he can see the enemy. His resistance to physical attacks also increases, but he becomes extremely weak to magic. In this state, even the simplest spell cast by a Lvl 1 Apprentice Wizard is likely to rip a hole into him. However, this is not very easy to do since he can read his enemy's mind. This form lasts for 24 hours.
Own Grave - The more determined the enemy is to defeat Magneqrox, the more their actions are disrupted. A calm, calculated approach to fighting Magneqrox will completely nullify this effect but passion-driven, psychotic berserkers will barely be able to walk in a straight line. However, the more determined Magneqrox is, the more of the effects on the enemy's mind will be negated.
Summon Phantasmagoria - This summons Phantasmagoria. Phantasmagoria is an oddly shaped, barbed, long and very thick sword crafted from a glowing white material which is of unknown origin. It would have the shape of a long and very thick sword if it had not had three curves, though all in a straight line, making it look somewhat like a snake. It drips with blue flame and will eventually drive anyone who wields it except Magneqrox insane. Magneqrox was at a point able to negate its effects on him, but it has taken a slight toll on him still. The sword is in fact organic and has all five senses - further causing confusion regarding its origin. It is in truth a powerful Familiar that can metamorph into that of a Sword - that of Phantasmagoria.
Breath Fire - Magneqrox can breath blue fire (has a connection to Tzeentch) from his mouth. He greatly enjoys and excels in using this ability, incorporating it into his battle style.

Equipment
Phantasmagoria - As detailed above
Tomb Wrappings - He plundered these old ''clothes'' from an old tomb in the Land of the Dead. He almost died on that adventure, but eventually came out alive. It provides the wearer with a very powerful, regenerative fluid that constantly secretes from it. However, this fluid is comprised of Warpstone energy and will rapidly run dry. It can only be used for a short amount of time (~30 minutes if at maximum warpstone). It will absorb nearby warpstone into itself, but this can only happen if it is not being worn, and this most powerful yet limited item is something Magneqrox does not want to lose. As a result, he only recharges it when he knows he is in great safety.

Brief History
Magneqrox was not always a humanoid dragon. He was transmogrified into one when he as an adventurer, managed to defeat a Chaos Dragon by impaling its head with a nearby stack of very heavy spears and consume its essence through the use of a magical device, received at the spot from Tzeentch. From this point on he was counseled by an unknown entity, most likely another Dragon who had gone beneath the surface, too weak to rise above ground yet with immense mental capabilities. Little did he know that Tzeentch had planned for this all along - however, he did not have bad plans in mind, he merely wished to see the results of fusing a Chaos Dragon with a human being. Deciding that the result was not worth the sacrifice, Magneqrox has remained the only one of his kind. Under normal circumstances, he would not have been able to defeat the Chaos Dragon, but Tzeentch was on his side that day.

Pro's
- Decisive. Magneqrox can act and take decisions quickly.
- Resourceful. He's not the mightiest, eldest or magically advanced Vampire there is, but he is good at turning much into little and generally going against the odds in difficult situations.
- Clever. Magneqrox is rather clever, but not astoundingly so.
- Fire resistant. This is exactly what it sounds like.
- Strength. Magneqrox is physically a bit stronger than an Ogre Tyrant. But he is not very tough, nor is he very dexterous.

Con's
- Passionate. Magneqrox is rather passionate about things, and this can take its toll when he becomes overly enthusiastic, sometimes putting him in extremely dangerous situations.
- Shoddy magic user. Magneqrox can control a moderate amount of Undead creatures, easily summon his own weapon from the Realm of Chaos and knows all the spells in the Lore of Fire, but he's still pretty much mediocre and prefers relying on his other capabilities.
- Vulnerable to magic. Magneqrox is rather vulnerable to magic in general, but cannot be harmed by spells that are fiery in nature.
- Rather proud. Magneqrox is proud, but not arrogant. He knows that he is however, and tries to keep this from influencing his decisions.

Finelle

Full Name: Finelle Burghofen
Associated Names: None
Age: 802
Bloodline: Unknown
Sire: Magneqrox
Place of Birth: Naggaroth

Description
She has black hair and wears a gigantic Druchii corsair outfit. Her body shape is rather even and no feature stands out more than the other. Although everything is certainly completely gigantic. She sometimes uses this to charm weak-minded and/or vulnerable creatures, since even if they feel a great disgust for her, they're still men, and men have their desires... although she will not let anyone except Magneqrox touch her, the charm is merely a tool.
Finelle is practically gluttony and decadence given form. Her dream is to live in unrivaled luxury, where her greed is unrestrained. Combined with her being associated with Slaanesh, Finelle has a rather simple outlook on life, involving her, the few she cares about (Magneqrox and allies/friends... yes, she has friends) while seeing the rest as little more than walking, talking food and tools, although she will gradually recognize those she frequently encounters as something resembling an equal being. Her gluttony is unmatched by almost everything else in the world. She regards the meal of several families in a week as insufficient for a day.
Finelle has no real fighting style, relying on momentum and her weight to batter enemies into submission. She can paralyze things by knocking them to the ground and jumping on them, and has some other ways to abuse her size. She is an excellent sorceress when it comes to illusions, but prefers to rely on her force in order to achieve her goals. She doesn't use weapons or armour.

Equipment
Huge hands

Brief History
Finelle was lost by her parents in the confusion of a failed, ambitious raid on Marienburg. There, she was later found by a man named Henrik Burghofen and adopted, as he had no child of his own but had always wanted one. Henrik and Enrika Burghofen were among the richest estate owners in the entire Empire, and Finelle was spoiled to a disgustingly decadent level from a very early age, with slave-like servants obeying her every last wish. She quickly got a taste for food, and when she became a teenager, she was eating constantly.
Her parents soon both died, leaving her as the sole owner of the estate, which by that point had reached the size of a moderately large town. She started treating the citizens like personal toys, even more so than she was already doing, and initiated a personal cult. Each family was also required to donate a daily amount of food to Finelle as a ''safety tax'', to keep her soldiers from terrorizing the population. Soon, every citizen - except the soldiers, which were treated as fellow human beings in exchange for their loyalty - was an emaciated shell of their former selves, living for nothing but to toll for Finelle. Happiness became an alien thing to the citizens.
At the age of 24, a stranger visited the castle. He had an ambitious look about his eyes, the only feature which could be seen from all the clothing he was wearing. He was as tall as two men and bulky. Making his way for the castle, the townfolk started wondering and gossiping about what this was. The soldiers at first did not let him in, but they were quickly persuaded otherwise, and their remains raised as zombies to guard the entrance. Then the townfolk realised what it was - a Vampire. Perhaps it had come to save them though, as the soldiers were killed without doubt. Several hours later, Magneqrox and Finelle emerged. Magneqrox bellowed that he was the new count of the town, and rather than helping them, he created an effective system for turning the citizens into nothing but slaves, while killing all the soldiers and raising them as undead warriors in order to keep the townsfolk in check unquestionably. Magneqrox and Finelle lived there ever since, when they were not adventuring. Finelle later started regularly feasting on the townfolk, requiring daily sacrifices of humans. However the town is still up and running and has in fact grown from the number of slave raids committed.


Pro's
- Immense bulk. This means that most physical attacks will simply bounce off her, unless they're coming from something extremely sharp and/or fiery. She can still be harmed by magic, fiery breath, cannonballs (though they'll have a hard time going through) and so on.
- Sheer force. A blow from Finelle is almost concussive and will knock you to the ground.
- Tricksy. Finelle likes to play harmless in order to make her enemies underestimate her and take her for nothing. This has caused the demise of more than a few who thought they could purge the Terror of Burghofen from the world.

Con's
- Insanely Gluttonous. Finelle can only be momentarily sated, and she will try to eat anything edible which crosses her. With Slaanesh's help, anything she eats will taste mouth-wateringly and feel like the most delicious of food. Her stomach can digest anything. This gluttony is further unrestrained whenever she gets excited or is hungrier than normal.
- Huge Size. Finelle may have trouble doing certain tasks or entering certain places (although she will tear down what's blocking the way if she can). She also has trouble reacting to very fast opponents, but also plays on this by appearing helpless to wait for a weak spot.
Fighting Style: Finelle has no real fighting style, relying on momentum and her weight to batter enemies into submission. She can paralyze things by knocking them to the ground and jumping on them, and has some other ways to abuse her size. She is an excellent sorceress when it comes to illusions, but prefers to rely on her force in order to achieve her goals. She doesn't use weapons or armour.

Mircea von Carstein

Full Name: Mircea von Carstein
Associated Names: Marshal of Sylvania, Voivode of Ravenhof, Mircea the Impaler
Age: 749 years old
Bloodline Von Carstein
Sire: Isabella von Carstein
Place of Birth: Waldenhof Sylvania

Description
Mircea is a tall thin man. He has normally has long raven black hair and some facial hair. His has sharp cheekbones, hawkish features, cruel thin lips and an aquiline nose. He usually has stony red eyes. Although some might find him attractive his features are too severe to be considered conventionally handsome.
His personality is dour and serious and he carries an almost perpetually grim expression. He is very prideful however.
Mircea is concerned with temporal power; he is very conquest minded and has little time for the feasts and plotting of other vampires. He was and still is a military man. He can infiltrate the human aristocratic class of lords and ladies if necessary, although he does with much distaste. He is offers his enemies the choice that Vlad did, serve him in life or serve him in death. He always keeps his word like Vlad. He can be very cruel, impaling prisoners on stakes after battles and resurrecting them as zombies.
By contrast he enjoys battle, seeing a different situation each time he fights and is a brilliant military strategist who enjoys fighting intelligent tacticians to test his mind against in a game of military strategy.
Because he is one of the first of the vampire aristocracy of Sylvania he has a massive superiority complex and he desires other younger vampire nobles as ‘’trash vampires’’, he sees Vlad as the archetypical vampire and aspires to be like him. Make no mistake, he does not despise his undead condition but instead revels in being a creature of darkness. His calling however is being an immortal general rather than a decadent fop.

Equipment
Vlad's Sword: Mircea carries the sword of Vlad von Carstein, recovered after the siege of Altdorf. He also wears a suit of enchanted armour.
Cloak of Darkness: A magical cloak made from the flayed skin of Mircea's enemies and enchanted from the blood of his victims the cape can wrap around Mircea and become many times harder than steel, giving him a protective magical field.

Brief History
He was a minor nobleman in the Sylvania army called Meyerling Faulsing that was invited to meet the new count and his wife right after Isabella had been mysteriously cured of her illness. When he met them he spotted an assassin emerging from the crowed. He leapt in front of Vlad and took the blade for himself, not knowing that as a vampire Vlad was immune to poison, but the new count was impressed by the audacity of the nobleman and had Isabella sire him.
He served Vlad loyally as a military commander, not desiring any more than that, after Vlad’s death he retrieved the vampire count’s sword and fled to distant lands. When he returned he sported an accent similar to Vlad’s and a new name. Mircea. He slaughtered the human noble that had taken his lands after the defeat of the vampire counts and reinstated himself as a ruler, swearing allegiance to Mannfred, acting as the new vampire count’s military commander as he did with Vlad.
However he has allied himself to the council as to further his own ambitions and to see what’s best in his mind for Sylvania.

Pros
An excellent tactician, one who has devoted centuries to learning the art of war and commanding troops.
Is very resilient and posses excellent regenerative abilities.
Is an unparalleled shape shifter, having mastered the arts of shape shifting s is unrivaled even among the von Carsteins.
Is an excellent close combat fighter comparable to some Blood Dragons

Cons
He is very arrogant, event to members of his own bloodline, while no means stupid this can cause him to make some mistakes.
Politically unreliable: Mircea looks out for what he considers Sylvania’s best interests, namely his own. He is concerned with temporal power and has little regard to everything else.
He is also a mediocre caster, while not the best caster is not the worst either.
Mircea is weak against, holy symbols, running water and he cannot use his shape shifting abilities in sunlight, although he can go out into the day, but he must spend part of his time in a coffin.

Age: 1045 years old
Bloodline: Blood Dragon
Sire: The Red Duke
Place of Birth: Bretonnia

Description
Whilst not being overtly beautiful Katrina has a striking face, dark brown hair with bright green eyes. She is normally seen in her full plate custom made armour with an array of weaponry sheathed at her side. Trained as a Blood Dragon she is formidable in combat, especially with her custom made sabre. A notable point of Katrina is that after she turned her back on her line she went onto study magic more in depth, managing to overcome her bloodlines drawbacks she has excelled in the art of necromancy and covets magic grimoires and artifacts. Unfortunately with she suffers from an inability to properly control her bloodlust, in combat she is know to loose control at the sight and smell of blood and can prove a liability to her allies.

Equipment
Full Plate Armour, various different artifacts and weapons she keeps stored at her castle

Brief History
Not much is known of Katrina's background, sired by the Red Duke a year after he himself was turned for some reason shortly afterwards she rebelled against her sire, betraying him she has earned the enmity of the Blood Dragon bloodline, most who would see her hunted down and killed, added to the fact that she went on to further study magic only incensed her bloodline further. It is known that her younger brother Merovich is currently attempting to kill her and finally rid themselves of this dishonour on of their line.

Pros
Blood Dragon Training: Katrina has been trained by the Blood Dragon line and thus is very skilled in combat, though this has started to suffer due to neglect recently she is still very capable of defending herself, whilst not a match for other Blood Dragons she can match vampires from other bloodlines.
Adept Necromancer: After spending years striving to break her limitations Katrina is powerful in the art of Necromancy, whilst she cannot match the likes of of the Necrach V'azrin or Lesa she is still powerful.
Magic Weapons: Katrina has accumulated a vast store of magical weapons, some very powerful, used correctly they can prove devastating

Merovich

Full Name: Merovich Dagneau
Associated Names: The Bloody Knight
Age: 1043 years old
Bloodline: Blood Dragon
Sire: The Red Duke
Place of Birth: Bretonnia

Description
A tall powerfully built vampire Merovich is almost a stereotypical Blood Dragon. Black hair cropped short in the warrior fashion he has a reasonably handsome face marred only by a nose that has been broken countless times. Heavily built he is well versed in the arts of combat, however he has problem's keeping his temper. This has lead to his defeat a few times by less skilled opponents who managed to keep calm and take advantage of the situation. He lives only for battle and is such quite a dull person, the only thing that fires him up other than combat is hunting for his sister Katrina. After her betrayal of their sire he has devoted his life to hunting her down and killing her.


Equipment
A massive suit of blood red armour that offers considerable protection, the shield bears the icon of the Blood Dragon.
Skullsplitter - A massive double handed broadsword though Merovich wields it with ease in one hand, the runes on it enable the blade to pierce armour with ease.

Brief History
Even less is known about Merovich that his sister, sired by the Red Duke as well he seems to have devoted his life to hunting down and killing Katrina. He did spend some time in the Blood Keep and earned the respect and loyalty of many other vampires who trained there. Recently he attempted to join the TVC in return for Katrina's head, refused and disgraced by his defeat by Mircea he has now allied with Magneqrox in hopes of finally destroying Katrina.

Pros
Blood Dragon Training: Merovich is extremely skilled in combat, more so that nearly all the vampires in the TVC including Simon and Mircea, with the exception of Vekarin, he has only been defeated as noted below.
Blood Dragon Allies: Well known and respected by his bloodline, Merovich can summon scores of skilled vampire warriors to his armies.

Cons
Poor Spellcaster: Merovich has next to no spellcasting ability having spent all his unlife training in combat, he detests the use of it by others and sees it as dishonourable.
Temper: Merovich easily loses his temper and becomes blinded by rage, especially when it comes to his sister Katrina, this can lead him to making bad decisions. This is what lead to his defeat by Simon and Mircea von Carstein.

Vekarin

Full Name: Vekarin Banespike
Associated Names: Lord Darkblade, The Dark Bladed, Lord of the Scarred Rose
Age: 4057 years old
Bloodline: Blood Dragon
Sire: Abhorash
Place of Birth: Ancient Lahmia

Description
Vekarin is enormously tall, just under eight feet and he rarely removes his armor, which is enormous and plated and bedecked in glowing runes of protection. He wears a mask in the visage of a grimacing skull, and carries a sword of exceptional power. The Dark Blade is said to kill with a touch, dragging the life force from it's victims like screaming children (think Frostblade or Black Axe). It attracts Dark Magic and when it is drawn, the lights dim and the dead stir. He wears a cloak of purple that is fur trimmed. His eyes glow with balefire and his voice is deep and reverberating. Vekarin is a Blood Dragon who believes in his own personal honor and discipline, as all of his line. Angering him would be most unwise, as he leads some of the most elite troops of all the undead lords. While no master of magic or the dark arts, Vekarin's rage knows no bounds and his physical skill is unmatched. He believes strongly in honor and if he believes his violated, he will retaliate with force. He has an iron will and a long memory, and will not forget grudges quickly, if at all. While he does believe strongly in his own honor, in later years he has let anger and personal gain take hold of his actions. Many have theorized that had he not married Victarias, his on sense of honor would have devolved into self-gratifying rage. Had he not the steady hand of his wife to guide him, he would have been killed in battle long ago, or worse, taken a tyrannic kingdom for himself, ruling ruthlessly with an iron fist.
Vekarin also has strong opinions of the other vampiric bloodlines:
Strigoi: Vekarin regards the strigoi as the pinnacle of vampiric warriorship. Although he detests their common lack of honor or tact, he respects their strength and believes that they can be used to great effect on the battlefield if wielded correctly. More than one of his personal cabal of lieutenants are Strigoi, but they are each more of a weapon of war than a person.
Nechrarch: Vekarin regards magic and those who wield it as cowardly and foolish, but recognizes it's power and usefulness. However the Nechrarch's manipulation is often more than Vekarin wishes to deal with and he normally stays clear of the Nechrarch bloodline.
Von Carstein: Vekarin feels that the Von Carsteins are dishonorable warriors and simple aristocrats. Although he respects the power this bloodline wields and recognizes Mannefred as one of the most powerful Vampires to rise to the fore, Vekarin never really thought much of the Sylvanian family.
Lahmian: Seductive and beguiling, the Lahmians are Vekarin's least favorite of the Vampiric bloodlines. Vekarin regards Lahmian manipulations as cowardly and their seductions disgusting.


Equipment
Armour of fabled Kekarsarun - An incredibly powerful artifact of Tzeentch which houses a forsaken Changer of Ways. The armor is self-healing and resistant to most physical attacks and magical effects, although a powerful attack will crush it, and it's magic can be dispelled, rendering the daemon within it ineffective for a short time. The wearer of this armor may also commune with this daemon to further increase the Armour's effectiveness.
Mask of Skulls - A powerful item dedicated to the destruction of Morr's servants and the nullification of arcane dampeners. However, the mask has limited power and it is not known whether it can be recharged.
The Dark Blade - a weapon procured from a powerful Daemon Lord. Any touch from this blade will tear the life from an enemy forcefully, usually rendering them incapacitated or dead, depending on the nature of the wound and length of time it is endured.

Brief History
Vekarin was once known in ancient Lahmia as the mighty warrior Vehki-Rhan. He was a disciple of Abhorash, one of his greatest warriors within the Lahmian armies and most promising commanders Abhorash ever trained. It did not take long after Neferata's transformation and her subsequent bestowal of the Blood Curse onto Abhorash that Vekarin was cursed in turn by his mentor. He, like Abhorash, hated what he had become and, although he recognized the physical benefits and immortality granted his condition, he despised this reliance on the blood of his countrymen to survive. In the wars against the Priest Kings of Nehekhara, Vekarin fought alongside his mentor and his wife, Victarias. When all was inevitably lost, Vekarin fled with Abhorash into the wilderness with his own small force of undead and vampires. He learned all he could from his tutor, and left Abhorash to forge his own kingdom, for he believed the Vampyre are destined to rule over humans. He spent some time in the lands now known as the Empire, but left, finding the residents too weak and primitive for his leadership. He found a kingdom within the northlands, where he built an army of the most hardened northmen and did battle with the most powerful of Daemon Princes. Eventually he left the Chaos Wastes for the reiklands once again, building a fairly large kingdom where he ruled for many years in the land now known as Sylvania. Vekarin fought off many attacks made by the hordes of Orcs and Goblins, protecting his mortal subjects from these threats and even other tribes of humans, until the entity known as the Empire formed. During his unification of the Empire, the walking god Sigmar assaulted Vekarin's stronghold, killing Victarias and sending her soul screaming to Morr with the energies of Ghal-Maraz. He left Vekarin for dead and the Vampire's castle a burned hulk. Vekarin retreated to the Sylvanian mountains in grief, living in a self-imposed exile within his mighty stronghold of the Violet Citadel. For many centuries he dwelt within his fortress, with only his skeletal guards and unliving lieutenants. He left rarely, once to destroy a force led by the mighty Kekarsarun, herald of Tzeentch. With this victory (known by scholars as the Battle of Two Dragons) Vekarin deflected an almost crippling blow to the infant rule of Vlad von Carstein. Many years later, Vekarin journeyed into Sylvania to pledge his allegiance to that Vampire Lord, and fought in the Vampire Wars until Vlad's death. He was fairly quiet after those terrible wars, but was summoned by Milosh Cromwell to the first Vampire Council.

Pros
Combat Master - Vekarin is the most skilled warrior in the vampire council bar none, some say with the exception of Abhorash he is possibly the most skilled warrior in the world.
Magic Items - Vekarins collection of potent magic items complement him perfectly meaning he is nearly indestructible and truly dangerous in combat, only those of immense skill or power stand a chance of defeating him
Elite Troops - Vekarins armies whilst lacking in the quantity of Simon's far outmatch his in quality, made of of many Blood Dragon vampires which he has personally trained they are fanatically loyal to their master and fell foes in combat.

Cons
Poor Spellcaster: Vekarin has next to no spellcasting ability having spent all his unlife training in combat, he detests the use of it by others and sees it as dishonourable.
Arrogant: Vekarin has an arrogant streak and is very quick to take offense as shown in his first encounter with Mistress Lesa, this can sometimes lead him to making bad decisions to satisfy his pride.
Cumbersome: Whilst in combat Vekarin knows where he needs to be at just the right time, however he still is big and with his armour can be slower than some of smaller and less heavily armoured vampires.

Victarias

Full Name: Victarias Banespike
Associated Names: Handmaiden of Lahmia, Queen of the Violet Rose
Age: 4055 total, 1560 'alive' (spent many of those years incarcerated in hell)
Bloodline: Blood Dragon
Sire: Vekarin Banespike
Place of Birth: Ancient Lahmia

Description
Victarias is about 6 feet tall with piercing eyes, strong features and dark raven hair and she is comparably beautiful. She is strong and lithe, more so than many women because of her extensive weapons training and skill with a blade. Victarias is quite a bit more personable and reserved than Vekarin. She retains a strong moral code and code of honor, yet she does not openly or violently disagree with others as Vekarin does. She will, however meet any harsh ridicule or insult with violence, but not to the same amount as Vekarin does. Many times Victarias is the one to calm Vekarin's anger, and with her dead he is much more likely to use deadly force as his only option.

Equipment
Blades of the Night - These weapons act as if they had a life of their own and increase Victarias' already considerable physical prowess.
When armored, wears a set of purple lacquered armor and a violet cloak, and also carries a multitude of knives and daggers in various locations on her body.
Also wears a violet, jeweled crown that designates her position as the Queen of the Scarred Rose.

Brief History
Victarias served as a bodyguard/handmaiden for the queen Neferata in Lahmia before it's fall. There she met and fell in love with Vekarin, and the two were wed shortly before the Priest Kings attacked the city. In the short time between the two events, Aborash sired Vekarin who in turn sired Victarias as Blood Dragons. After Lahmia's fall, Vekarin fled with Victarias out of the city with his closest allies instead of joining Nagash with the remainder of the Vampyre of Lahmia. She accompanied Vekarin on many of his travels, aiding him along the way. When he built the kingdom of the Violet Rose in what would later become Sylvania she became the Queen of the Violet Rose and ruled at his side. Sometime later, the man-god Sigmar attacked the fortress of the Violet Rose and fought Victarias in single combat, quickly killing her.

Pros
Blade Mistress: Victarias was more skilled with a blade than most in the Old World before she was killed and incarcerated. Even now she is very powerful in hand to hand combat.
Elite Troops - Victarias can also summon Vekarins armies - whilst lacking in the quantity of Simon's far outmatch his in quality, made of of many Blood Dragon vampires which he has personally trained they are fanatically loyal to their master and fell foes in combat.
Cool Head - Unlike her husband Victarias is more level headed, being in control of her temper ensures she makes excellent tactical decisions .

Cons
Poor Spellcaster: Victarias has little chance to expand her spell casting abilities, she has limited casting ability.
Hell's Touch: Hell is not a place one walks of of without effect, and Victarias is still plagued by the time she spent there. Even the slightest word can release dredged up, and seemingly real, memories of her torture, incapacitating her.

Sammael

Full Name: Sammael
Associated Names: The Prince of Twilight
Age: 3500+
Bloodline: -NA-
Sire: -NA-

Description
Sammael is grey skinned, elegantly curving horns sprout from his head. His face is masked in shadow, his head wreathed in unearthly flames, his eyes burning embers. Draconic wings arch from his back. A barbed tail curls around his clawed feet.He is about 2 meters tall.

Equipment
Several elixers, and a heavy black cloak.

Brief History
Sammael was born in Skavenblight and was one of the many skaven leaving the city during the mass exodus. He and his clan traveled deep into the desert of Nehekhara. There the clan was whittled down by the harsh desert climate, marauders, and the crazed necromancer Nagash's foul magic. Following the wave of Nagash's dark magic the surviving members of the once massive skaven clan were irrevocably changed, and Sammael rose to lead the newly rechristened Clan Cocytus. Over the following years Sammael forged powerful alliances with the almighty Settra and the Slaan of the Southlands. He subsequently traveled to study under the tutelage of both the Liche priests of the Mortuary cult and the Slaan, greatly enhancing his magical prowess.

Pros
Keen Intellect - Self explanatory, is very intelligent and usually makes well informed choices.
Magically Adept - Due to his tutelage under the Liche Priests and the Slaan of the Southlands he has an extensive knowledge, whilst not as rawly powerful as some of the other vampires he knows many secret spells.
Potions Master: His aforementioned studying means he has unrivalled knowledge in creating potions, his knowledge in this area is even more extensive than V'azrin.
Own Experimentation: Having experimented on his own body with elixirs his speed and strength have increased to match that on an average vampire.

Cons
Prior Loyalties - Sammael first loyalty is to Settra and his Slaan tutors, even to the extent of siding with them against the council should that situation arise
Poor Combat Skill - Poor combat training means that whilst he has the strength of a vampire he cannot match them when it comes to skill.
Own Experimentation - There have also being negative effects of the elixirs, namely sometimes random mood changes, and psychotic behaviour, though this is few and far between.

Sweeney Todd

Full Name: Sweeney Todd
Associated Names: Bejamin Barker, The Vampire Barber of Fleet Street
Age: 500 - 600 years (estimated)
Bloodline: Strigoi
Sire: Unknown

Description
6ft tall, pale complexion, has the physical build of an average man. Always has dark rings around his eyes. Unruly jet black hair with a streak of white running down the middle. Usually seen wearing a well-tailored vest.
He seems 'normal' at first, in fact very human/rogue-ish for a centuries old vampire. However if one were to try and dig deep one would find that Sweeney Todd is mostly consumed by a cold hatred for Judge Turpin centuries ago. He is obsessed with his sworn enemy and tends to try and relate anything and everything to his quest for vengeance. This single-mindedness can make him rather dull. Also, as a result of this obsession he is extremely callous. Some vampires view humans as cattle, others as inferior beings. Todd thinks of them as tools for his vengeance(if he thinks of them at all) and nothing else.
Sweeney Todd does not fight like a typical warrior, as practically all weapon masters do not teach the use of a pair of shaving razors. He uses an unorthodox mix of multiple fighting styles(including Eastern warrior-monk styles) coupled with his talent as a barber which he developed while still an ordinary man.
In battle he resembles a cross between the infamous Konrad von Carstein and a Clan Eshin Master Assassin. His style marries the strength and savagery of a bloodthirsty vampire lord with the speed and finesse of a Skaven assassin. He strikes hard and fast at the enemy's weak points and does not stop till all of them are dead. This coupled with the unholy magic surrounding his set of razors means that even the toughest end up on the floor quick. He also likes to use his opponents' body parts as improvised weapons.
His style is offense oriented, with little or no concern to defense besides simply evading every blow that comes his way. He also does not wear heavy armor as he requires speed. Being very focused he is resistant to pain and stubbornly refuses to go down but sometimes you just can't fake actual protection.
He has some innate sense of fairness, having started off as an honest man living an ordinary life. He does not have a strict warrior background however, and so does not follow any martial vow or code of honor.
Todd has one notable ability:
Assault Trance: Some training with the martial ascetics of the Far East have allowed him to unlock the inner Varghulf lurking within every Strigoi at will. This heightens his strength and speed to levels that few vampires save those of the first generation can match but accelerates awakening of the Red Thirst. If he uses this for long enough he just might turn into a Varghulf...

Equipment
His personal set of silver razors. These have been constantly been exposed to necromantic energies and the blood of innocents over the centuries. As a result, the blades have a sort of semi-sentience and help guide themselves towards the enemy's weak points(enhancing Todd's fighting style). The unholy power absorbed into the weapons can directly suck the life force out of anything hit and cause a minor blow to become fatal. Also, wounds inflicted on non-undead have a tendency of stubbornly refusing to heal. Quick application of powerful magics are required to heal injuries inflicted on the living by these weapons, otherwise the subject will bleed out and die.
Light armor of Elf origin, stolen or looted, concealed under his clothes. Minor enchantments allow it to provide as much protection as a normal suit of heavy armor, but it is nowhere near as powerful as that of the magic armors that most warrior vampires use.
Sidearms - Todd keeps an assorted bunch of backup weaponry and usually carries one strapped to his back. These are Far Eastern blades and polearms more conventional than his weapons of choice, including Cathayan longswords and a short naginata. Todd is skilled in the use of these weapons but he is still much better with his razors.

Brief History
The tale of Sweeney Todd,the Vampire Barber of Fleet Street is well-known throughout the Realms of Men. While based largely on truth, it is completely incorrect on several important details(as Sweeney Todd still being alive can attest...). Benjamin Barker left prison no longer a mortal, but reborn as a vampire. An immortal such as he would not be so easily slain by his own silver razors to the neck, and thus Toby, the foolish lad that tried to end Todd's reign of terror wound up becoming his and Mrs. Lovette's eternal undead slave instead.

Pros
Master of razors - Slits windpipes and slices open veins almost as easily as he can breathe. His battlefield prowess with his very own pair of razors rivals those of the Blood Dragon line.
Speed - In combat Todd is very fast for his bloodline and can surprise his opponents however he cannot match the speed of Rask or those of the Lahmian bloodline.
Focused - Todd is very focused on what he does, to the point where he is resistant to pain and is very hard to trick either through normal or magical means

Cons
Poor Defense - Whilst he has a high pain threshold Todd has very little defense and such a powerful blow can do a large amount of damage to him.
Poor Tactician - Having little skill or grasp of tactics means Todd does not lead armies well and makes poor military decisions
Vendetta: His Vendetta rules Todd's life and as such can blind him to certain dangers or opportunities.
Poor Magical Ability - Some, but not much magical ability. Not inept, simply never underwent much training

Lord V’azrin

Full Name: Lord V’azrin of Lahmia
Associated Names: Heir of W’soran, The Second Apprentice, Weaver of Death
Age: 4000+
Bloodline: Necrarch
Sire: W’soran
Place of Birth: Lahmia

Description
Sired when he was around 23-26 there is nothing remaining of his form that would point to this. Standing at around 5”9 foot when he is slightly hunched over, he looks much like the undead he commands, much of his flesh rotten he resembles the commonly held image of a Necrarch. He usually dresses in black robes and has a strange sacrificial blade kept under his robes. From the waist of his robes hang many strange arcane items, from old scrolls to rune-covered skulls to minor items of power.

Equipment
Sacrificial Dagger of Nagash-The weapon has a fearful enchantment on it forged by the Great Necromancer himself - any taking the slightest nick will be tortured by the screams and wails of the dead until they are driven insane.
Many odd arcane trinkets and fetishes

Brief History
V’azrin grew up in Lahmia as a young nobleman who had taken the path of a scholar, as a mortal he had great magical potential but was somewhat lazy, luckily (or perhaps unluckily) the High Priest W’soran noticed his potential and made the V’azrin the one who was his second get and strongest childe. Soon after being sired V’azrin also sired a mortal friend called Reshorn who was to be V’azrins only known get and apprentice.
V’azrin fought in the defence of Lahmia and when it fell he joined Nagash soon earning himself a place as one of this highest servitors, however when the end came and W’soran fled with his apprentices V'azrin did not join him, instead he went of to pursue his own studies. What happened since is a hazy area, it is known that he fought against Sigmar with Nagash; he was even granted the title of “Dark Lord Of Nagash” at some time (although when is unknown). There are rumours that he helped teach Mannfred Necromancy at one point which led to the Von Carstein stealing a few of the Necrarchs possessions including a tomb with information on “The Pale Lore” an area of magic invented by V’azrin himself.
V’azrin currently is fighting with the council lending his knowledge of the arcane in its goals.

Pro's
Powerful wizard - One of the most powerful in existence, currently only second to Lesa in the council.
Decayed - His horrific looks can serve to send fear into the hearts of mortals.
Ancient - His age grants him both mass amounts of knowledge and power.
Paranoia - As paranoid as he is V’azrin tends to hide many of his abilities from others meaning he tends to surprise his enemies.
The Pale Order - A large amount of Necromancers at his beck and call.
Genius - Like most Necrarchs V’azrin is an undeniable genius especially in the realms of Necromancy and the arcane.

Con's
Poor in Combat - Has little use of physical combat and as such doesn’t measure up to the weapon skills of the other vampire lords. He is possibly the least combat able vampire on the Council.
Half Insane - V’azrin sometimes finds it hard to focus on a single point and can sometimes say things that can result in negative results.
Coward - V’azrin tends to flee when he believes himself in danger.
Hate - V’azrin has such hate for a few beings ((e.g. Mannfred or Melkhior)) that all reason can be driven out of his mind when they become a point of attention.

Katie

Full Name: Katherine Williams
Associated Names: None
Age: 19
Bloodline: Lahmian
Sire: Lesa Cromwell
Place of Birth: Sylvania

Description
Katie is a stunning woman, with flowing black hair, and inviting curves. She has pale green eyes and very pale skin. She normally wears tight clothing due to the fact that recently she was constantly on the run. After her turning by Lesa she was given with dark grey flowing robes than show off her figure perfectly.
Her siring by Lesa was unusual in the fact that is was prophesied in one of Lesa's visions, no doubt this means that she will accomplish something of great importance.
Katie's strongest trait by far is her tracking ability, since birth she has had an unerring ability to find anyone, as long as she has either met them before, or has their scent or magical signature she can locate them, whether in the same town or thousands of miles away.
As a newly sired vampire she does lack many of the vampire lords strengths as well as having trouble controlling her bloodlust, this coupled with her flip personality means she can at times be somewhat unreliable, however she is fanatically loyal to her sire who she sees as her saviour.

Equipment
A knife or two concealed on her body

Brief History
Katie was born in a small village in Sylvania. Her childhood was typical of any Sylvanian child, playing cheerfully till night came, and then sleeping restlessly, dreams haunted by the all too real monsters in the dark. As she grew people began to notice that she was blessed, some would later say cursed, with an unnatural beauty. Nothing came of this at that innocent young age, but it soon would.
Soon after her sixteenth birthday, a boy followed her and a friend when they went into the local forest for some peace and quiet after Katie had been harassed all day by boys. As they walked, they were ambushed by the boy, who wrestled Katie to the ground, his intentions clear as day. Abandoned by her friend, Katie did the only thing left to preserve her dignity; she killed the boy. As his weight crushed her, she put her hands to his throat and held on for her life. As she watched his life slip away, she reveled in the sense of pleasure and power it gave her.
Hiding his body, she used some thorns to scratch herself, and then covered herself in grime. Then she ran out of the forest, crying, whimpering, to the villagers who ran to her aid. She spun a story of woe, of a horrible beast, of the death of the boy, of a near escape. The listening villagers believed every single word.
By the time she turned 18, Katie was the most sought after woman for miles around. She continued to play the innocent, as she had for almost 4 years, and by now the part of her that had killed the boy, that had rejoiced in the act, was hidden deep within her. But it would not remain so for much longer. One night she was visited by a young man, who forced him way into her home and cornered her in the kitchen. As he approached she grabbed a knife a drove it into him. This time she did not do so reluctantly, but with a mounting sense of joy. She thrust, again and again, till all that was left was a mangled corpse.
She knew that she could not cover this up, so she took the knife and some traveling cloths, and fled. It remains astounding that she managed to survive a year in the wilds, but eventually she happened upon the sight of a great fire in the distance, and so, curious as a cat, she headed towards it.

Pro's
Sneaky - Katie is can move very quietly when she needs to, a skill perfected after a year in the wild.
Beautiful - Katie is very beautiful, which she could use to he advantage, should she bring herself to. (Note this is nowhere near Lesa's power)
Tracker - Katie can find anyone or anything providing she knows its secnt or magical signature.

Con's
Just Sired - Recently "Born" Katie has only very recently become a vampire. This means that while she does have an instinctive grasp of magic, she is still weaker in all areas (Combat, magic etc.) than pretty much all other vampires. However her grasp of magic is growing constantly, and she has some skill in knives.

Flip-Personality - Katie is either one of these two extremes at any time, with little middle ground. Another side affect of this is that Katie is slightly mentally unstable. This can result in losing consciousness when sliding from one side to another, particularly if calmed suddenly from a slaughtering mood:
Innocent
While Katie has killed, and enjoyed it, she is normally very timid and innocent, and will not kill anyone without very good reason.
Vicious
The flip side to her innocence. She pressured, Katie will turn evil, slaughtering if given the opportunity. This side usually presents itself when Katie is very thirsty, or if threatened.

Full Name: Cerberus
Associated Names: -NA-
Age: Ancient
Bloodline: -NA-
Sire: -NA-
Place of Birth: Unknown

Description
Cerberus appears to be a young man, in his mid twenties. He has short black hair, is about 6ft tall, has brown eyes and a lightly tanned complexion.

Equipment
A sword and light armor.

Brief History
After undergoing many tribulations at the hands of the greater chaos gods, and prevailing, Cerberus was possessed by four greater daemons, one from each of the greater gods. Following his possession he exiled himself to the World’s Edge Mountains. There he bent the daemons to his will, merging them to his being, and harnessing his new found abilities. Many centuries after his possession he has ventured forth from the mountains to ensure that Nagash fails to rise to power once again.

Pro’s
Daemon of Slaanesh-Cerberus has a heightened speed and agility. He also has the uncanny ability to strike his opponents most vulnerable locations.
Daemon of Nurgle-He has a high resistance to disease, and regenerative properties.
Daemon of Tzeentch-He has knowledge of the past, and extraordinary prescience.
Daemon of Khorne-Cerberus permeates with a magical null field. This grants him high magical resistance and nullifies the effects of magical weapons/items being used against him.
Master Warrior-Cerberus is a warrior beyond compare, having fought for centuries in Khorne's domain.

Con’s
Self Denial-Cerberus must deny himself most earthly pleasures, to fortify his soul from the daemons.
Lost in Thought-He will frequently keep to himself and "zone out" as he contemplates the myriad strands of time.
Null Field-Cerberus is unable to channel the winds of magic, and any enchanted objects lose their magical abilities within his presence (preventing him from using enchanted items).
Predations of Chaos-Cerberus must remain ever vigilant, lest he succumb to the influences of the greater daemons.

Brief History
Vyacheslav was born twenty seven years before the coming of Vladimir von Carstein, and his claimant upon the throne of the Imperial Principality from the von Drak’s. Following the von Carstein’s instatement as ruler of Sylvania Vyacheslav rose quickly through the ranks of Sylvania’s Drakenhof Guard, until at the age of twenty nine in the year 1799 he held the title of Seneschal. Shortly after this during the years winter Vyacheslav was seduced by the dark beauty of Isabella von Carstein and became her first get. Fearing what repercussions this could be brought upon himself by Vladimir von Carstein, Vyacheslav was relieved when he found that von Carstein was pleased with Isabella’s actions of siring Vyacheslav. Following this began the siring of important members of Sylvania’s aristocracy and spread of Vampirism throughout the Principality.

Over the next two hundred years Vyacheslav von Carstein rose to become an important member within the von Carstein council chambers, discussing matters of both Intelligence and Military with the von Carstein. Vlad’s ambitions to instate himself as Emperor where beginning to bear fruit and following the destruction of Mordheim, Vyacheslav was sent as Spymaster of the von Carstein house to recover as much Warpstone has possible to aid the Count in his ambitions.

After his successes within Mordheim, Vyacheslav returned to Sylvania. Where, in the year 2009 married, the enchanting Ingrid von Carstein who had been sired three years previously, also by Isabella von Carstein.

In 2010 as the von Carsteins began their march upon the Empire, Vyacheslav von Carstein captained Vladimir’s personal bodyguard and stood next to Vulf von Carstein who bore aloft the infamous Drakenhof Banner of Sylvania, which had been tainted with the von Carstein’s dark magic to all creatures of towards it.
Following the fall of Vladimir von Carstein and the suicide of Isabella, Vyacheslav returned to Sylvania. Where in the following years saw the feud of the remaining second generation for the leadership of the house. Eventually, Konrad von Carstein, later to be known as the “Blood Count” emerged victorious of his blood brothers and claimed the mantle of Count of Sylvania. Shortly following this Vyacheslav departed Sylvania and ventured north into the Empire. Of his time here not much is known except that he and his wife in Unlife Ingrid sired a dozen of the most capable individuals they encountered. From this Vyacheslav formed a coven within the Stirland Capital of Wurtbad and was to remain there for the next hundred years.

In the last dying days of the twenty second century since the Coming of Sigmar, Vyacheslav returned to Drakenhof Keep, with his wife and a small group of his most loyal gets. What they found were the decrepet remains of a once glorious citadel now, under control of the villan Mannfred von Carstein. Wanting to have no part in Mannfred's affairs Vyacheslav departed from his birth place, and now presides over the keep of Templehof. After refusing Mannfred's call to war against the The Vampire Council, he was ousted from them, he has now joined the Council in hopes of regaining his lost lands.

Pro’s
- Vyacheslav is a natural leader after his years within the Drakenhof Guard and through his experienced gained from the first Vampire Wars, where his word held weight comparable to that of Vladimir von Carstein.
- Vyacheslav is highly skilled in the art of combat particularly pertaining to the usage of great swords, and long blades, which in his current vampiric form Vyacheslav is able to wield with remarkable ease.
- On the subject of Necromancy Vyacheslav was tutored by none other than Vladimir von Carstein himself, who was the first individual to introduce Necromancy to Sylvania. From this teaching he became an accomplished Necromancer; however Vyacheslav has over the years acquired a great aptitude for amethyst magic and under most circumstances uses this form over Necromancy.
- Vyacheslav can like a select few of the von Carstein line shapeshift into a wolf at will. This allows Vyacheslav to cover ground quickly when other forms of transportation are unavailable and also in this form Vyacheslav remains a consummate fighter.
- Vyacheslav has an exceptional knack to recover from wounds incredibly quickly even for a Vampire which is further more amplified by the presence of his sword which when made wet by the blood of his enemies, rejuvenates Vyacheslav to fight onwards.
- On the subject of resistance to the sun, its effects upon Vyacheslav are all but non-existent; however he is prone after many years spent underground to be susceptible to light sensitivity.
- Of all of Vyacheslav von Carsteins powers his most unique is the ability to blend in with his surroundings, such as a chameleon changes the shade of its skin. This trait is quiet uncommon within the von Carstein line, and led to increasing ease for Vyacheslav in his former role as Spymaster.

Con’s
- Vyacheslav von Carstein is a proud individual, and this sadly leads to a small amount of recklessness which could bring about his untimely demise if it is not kept under control.
- Vyacheslav’s love for his wife Ingrid von Carstein could bring around vulnerability within him, as they have kept each other sane over the past five hundred years and Vyacheslav would do anything not to lose her.
