Count Vicious

__NOTOC__
: Note: Count Vicious's Stats were from early planning and cannot be considered canon. Also these early plans were made before the Necromancer class was designed. 
== Description ==
Count Vicious is a five-foot, 160ish pound human male and his mid-40s, he's got a kind of a triangular-shaped salt-and-pepper beard, he's got black hair that's slicked back. Shaped eyebrows. He has a chiselled jawline. He's got delicate features that are still somehow very angular and strong. His eyes are not exactly focused, they look like they're looking far off into the distance.
Vicious being level 17 was established in Hardcore Heroes: Episode 53.
== Backstory ==
The History Books note that Count Vicious's Family was raised to nobility after his ancestor slayed a vampire over 700 years ago in that area, and has ruled Fortune ever since. The current Count James Vicious is the Ninth to have the name. He is Count of Flat County, which contains Fortune, Anvil, Heatstroke, Plainsview, Weatherlight.
Georg discovered in a vision on 1509-05-24 that Count Vicious hypnotized Lady Annabell Redshield with a gaze then turned her into a vampire. Georg told Countess Castillion his discovery.
After the capture of Anvil by Kerak the Vengeful and the Bastards of the Firewood on 1509-02-20, Count Vicious called banners and marched on the town and took it back on 1509-06-30.
The Demon Invasion of Eridon in January 1510 destroyed the Flat County towns of Anvil, Heatstroke, Plainsview. The Demons have remained in Heatstroke. The Demon Invasion also lead to the fall of the Kingdom of Eridon and the town of Fortune is considered an independent City-State. It is unknown if Count Vicious still controls the town of Weatherlight.
In late 1510, a unknown item of value was stolen from Count Vicious. The Count called his banners and marched on Meadstead and captured it. The armies of Meadstead were ready to fight, but just before the combat started the Meadstead Army broke rank and fled frantically out of formation. Meadstead had not been part of Count Vicious's territory before this incident. The leadership of Meadstead were slain in the night before the occupation took place.
In late 1511 Count Vicious meets with Malakai and arranges for the Philosophers' Stone to be returned to him in exchange for "Good Will". There is a chance that Malakai was Charmed during the meeting. (Hardcore Heroes: Episode 53)
In early 1512 Count Vicous lays siege to Stromheim with an undead army. (Desperate Measures: Episode 03) Also in 1512 Count Vicous pulled back his forces that were sieging Tharnham. (Desperate Measures: Episode 15)
Forces lead by Kel William Marshal in 1515 defeated Count Vicious. His Philosophers' Stone was given to the clerics of Light of Illumis for their mission.
==Vampire or not a Vampire?==
Count Vicous has used Necromancer skills and abilities. However the Necromancer class can emulate the abilities of a Vampire, and practically turns the user into a vampire at higher levels.
Count Vicious being a true vampire isn't confirmed. The strongest evidence to him being a vampire is when he turned Lady Redshield into a vampire. It is unknown if a level 17 Necromancer would have that power on their own.
