Constantin Vampirescu

## Background

Constantin Vladimirescu is the oldest known vampire to walk the planet.
 As a descendant of one of the original vampires, Vladimir,
Constantin was destined to lead his people to greatness. His surname
Vladimirescu translates to “son of vladimir” in the native language of
the humans that live in the territory he and his horde control.
Vladimir condemned himself to Vampyrism with foul. Tempted by the power and
eternal life promised to him by Vladimir, Constantin also took part in
the dark ritual and became Vampire. The consequences of his actions were
 revolting to him almost immediately, his body turned deathly pale and
his form contorted in agony until his bones grew in length and size and
his muscles became grotesque and powerful. He thirsted for the blood of
the living as well, all of these things drove him mad and he fled
Vladimir’s castle, never to be seen again for over one hundred years.

During that time many more vampires were created and there was an
intense power struggle over the land amongst the vampires. At the height
 of this vampire civil war Constantin reemerged from the shadows of
mystery, his body was completely altered to look more human.

In the ruined crypts of ancient civilizations he discovered a tome that
allowed him to create powerful runes that could be branded onto an
individual or onto an object. He called this book the “Carte de Mort”,
or the tome of Vampyrism. One day, Constantin saved
the life of the dragon by transferring his own life force partially into
the dragon.

With all of this unbelievable power at his fingertips, Vladimir quickly
swept across the region like a tide of shadow, corrupting the very land
that he walked upon. Almost every vampire who saw him immediately bowed
to his reign, knowing that by following him they would be guaranteed
amazing power. Having united all of the vampires under one rule, it was
pathetically easy to quash the human rebellions that took place over the
 next year to thwart Constantin’s rule. Remaining survivors were branded
 with runes that would cause them to die immediately after leaving the
corrupted lands. It was under this new era that many humans committed to
 the rituals of Vampyrism to become vampires and serve Constantin for all
time.

## Personality and Traits

Constantin is said to be the most ambitious and dangerous vampire. He is
 narcissistic and arrogant, believing himself to be the most powerful
vampire to ever live. The High Count is cold, merciless, ruthless, and
intimidating. He is entertained by the struggle of mortals, he also
enjoys participating in torture and other graphic scenes of violence.
Although he is not the kind of man to harbor feelings he considers
‘weak’, he is extremely protective of his Vampire kin and has a soft
spot for powerful vampiric women. He personally believes that women have
 the strongest minds of the two sexes, so he values them as field agents
 and generals. In the end, all Constantin truly cares about is the power
 of Reikhafen, his life’s work is to cement Reikhafen as the most
influential kingdom on the plan
