Fenrir Rook Véres

## Appearance

Fernir is only seen if you enter the manor. He has dark, curly black hair that is usually left untouched, but always looks effortlessly beautiful. His skin is darkly tanned, with a couple of freckles sprayed across his face. His copper eyes are usually emotionless. There's a haunting beauty around him, one that feels forbidden and eretheal. He dresses finely, in dark suits with red and silver accents. His bat form is pretty basic; it’s really just a bat with some dark red accents mixed in. It’s also unusually large, perhaps because his horse form beforehand was much bigger than a bat.

## Personality

Withdrawn is the best way to put it. Not aloof, and not arrogant, but quiet and watching at a distance. He's seen whenever anyone visits, but never sits to join them. He very rarely trusts people, and keeps his secrets and thoughts close. His emotions are also rarely seen; his expression is typically blank. In private, he is much more expressive and really just a big softy, full of compassion and curiosity. Some call him philosophical. He can be impatient and doesn't do well when he temper is tested. He is polite otherwise, but cannot resist the stray snarky response. Overall, he's very mysterious, and many have speculated that he might not be a Shifter.

### Flaws/Weaknesses

Distrustful, rarely expresses himself, impatient

### Powers/Limitations

Aside from basic vampiric abilities (flight, screech speech, etc.), he also had the unique ability to Bloodbend. While his ability has greatly weakened after being Turned, he is still able to get people to perform basic, but small movements: stop, move a hand, arm, or leg, look a certain direction, etc. Basically, as long as they are not moving forwards, backwards, shifting, or flying, he is able to control their movements.

Cannot make someone shift, move forwards/backwards, or make someone fly. The ability is still weak, and is only getting weaker. He can only hold control over someone for a maximum of a few minutes (if he's lucky. Usually it's a few seconds, which is just enough to make someone stop to allow him some extra time).

His powers won't be getting any stronger, and he's basically a walking target, so he can rarely draw attention to himself using his powers. Additionally, it'll drain the longer he's a Vampire, so in roughly 20 years, he won't be able to control anyone to any degree anymore. His vampiric powers will, of course, remain.

## History

Fernir found himself fascinated by Vampires, despite their species' odd relationship. He found it strange that (although they were hated by mortals, both drank blood, and had a similar aesthetic) they despised each other so much. So what did he decide to do? Without anyone knowing, he crept onto Vampire land, where he met a vampire girl.

At first, her reaction was as expected. Since he was on their land, she attacked him, but Fernir held his ground and asked for a truce. This surprised the Vampire, who agreed to it and introduced herself as Salem.

But the peace didn't last long. Realizing full well how proud she could make the Vampire Council -- and in specific, Artimus -- by \*Turning\* a Kelpie, she devised a plan. A Kelpie, Turned into a Vampire, would be clear proof that Vampires were superior. He would be her trophy.

Their friendliness took a turn when Salem grew flirtatious. Fernir, though surprised, reciprocated, and soon Salem had seduced him. Before anything could happen, she sunk her fangs into his neck and Turned him. But the odd combination of Kelpie and Vampire made Fernir's new, bloodthirsty state troublesome for Salem. He drained her and moved onto other victims.

A week passed before he saw his brothers. They worked tirelessly to cover his disappearance, but eventually claimed he had been killed by Vampires. His compassion for the race was no secret, and neither was his impressive Bloodbending skills. The lie was bought, and soon Dante and Lazarus faded into the background with the excuse of mourning.

In reality, however, they were tracking him down. As soon as Fernir saw his brothers, all memory of his past life came rushing back, and he felt sorry for killing Salem. The three of them retreated to a manor along the Summer and Autumn border, where they still reside today. No one knows of their true forms of Kelpies, however there are many rumors about missing maids. Currently, they pass as three Lords. Fernir is a Bat Shifter (not uncommon; he usually cites or compares himself to Echo if company asks), and his two brothers are Horse Shifters.

## Trivia
