*Quest complete
==Trivia==
*This radiant quest is identical to the vampire side quest "Protecting the Bloodline."
*When the quest takes place in a radiant location belonging to the Silver Hand, the vampire will immediately be attacked. If the vampire dies in the ensuing battle, the quest will be flagged as completed.
*There is a chance that the vampire may be located in Morvunskar, which is also the final destination of the quest "A Night to Remember." Should both of them be active when the Dragonborn heads to the dungeon, Sanguine will be present, and he will also attack the vampire.
*If is installed, some radiant locations may be on Solstheim.
==Bugs==
*Sometimes the quest mark will not appear (even if you are in Solstheim) and the vampire that needs to be killed isn't at the dungeon.
**Console command setstage DLC1RH03 100 should skip the stage with killing vampire.
