Baldassare

== History ==
Baldassare, a name in Italian that means “to protect the king”, he stands as one of the most devout and zealous followers of the current Lord and Lady of Vamilia. Ever since Baldassare was a younger vampire he held a code of honor close to his cold unbeaten heart. This first inception of “honor” was planted within his mind during his younger vampire days. A mere boy in the eyes of many vampires and there was one lowly human who had the gall too challenge him to a battle. There battle was a swift one, the victor being Baldassare, but during their fight the human would give him everything he had. Perhaps it was cruel to toil with him as Baldassare did, but the human never gave up a determination that boiled within him and to Baldassare’s shock he was disarmed, weapon flying out of his hands. He has no respect or sympathy for humans, no love but the human that looked him in his eyes waited for him too pick his weapon back up and start their “battle” once again. While Baldassare found it confusing for the human to allow this to happen, the human had stated he wanted it to be a “fair fight”. An interesting concept for him too conjure up considering this fight was no where near fair. The next minute the human lied on the ground, dead and decapitated. While Baldassare was under no circumstance in danger, it was curious to him why this human allowed him too have his weapon back. 
That was the first instance Baldassare experienced of “honor”, something that formed a bit of an obsession within him since his younger days. He found it interesting that a concept was so prevalent among humans especially warriors. Throughout his extended lifespan he had assumed these humans were just foolish, but here they were to the point to where they obsess over this “concept”. A fascination grew in him like no other and his interest to understand the concept of “honor” grew and took hold of him like none else.
Do not be misinformed, his sense of honor is not out of respect but merely out of fascination. He is not kind or benevolent, Baldassare has seen the worst of both humanity and vampires. At the end of the day, he holds little interest for personal game. Baldassare can be cold, calculated, methodical (orderly), and above all else? Loyal. He views himself as humble despite his arrogance getting the better of him 90% of the time, more than anything he loves combat and the thrill it brings to him. He typically holds back his personal desires for battle and bloodlust in order to avoid complications. Indulging in his own flesh for himself is met with a personal flogging, it keeps him in line to the wishes of his Lord and Lady. On a more deeper note, he has no idea about what he wants for himself personally whether that is to serve those above him for as long as he lives or if he is to be seen as an equal to them does not matter to him. He hasn’t given it more than just a passing thought, Baldassare will always be there to protect the royalty.
