Kufa Vampir

* Human
* Vampire

**Kufa Vampir** is the main protagonist of the series **Assassin's Pride**. He is half human and half vampire, the strongest of the Lancanthrope class. He also belongs to the Guild White Knight.

Kufa is a very tall man with dark purple hair and has Martinique and East Side colored eyes. He wears a military uniform, as stated by a pedestrian in the episode The Last Testament of a Certain Skeleton.

His hair becomes long and white in Vampire form, his eyes glow a brighter blue, and he also grows fangs.

In his "awakening" form, his eyes becomes pitch black while his pupils is brighter. His white hair grows longer and his nails becomes sharper.

## Personality

As an assassin, Kufa is calm and collected whenever he carries out his duties. Since he became supportive of Melida as her tutor, Kufa shows irrational and emotional tendencies. A good example is when he rejected Rosetti's act of goodwill when she reached out her hand in hopes to get along with each other as fellow tutors of the Angel Family. As seen from his confrontation with Williams Gin and Black Madia, he also becomes more likely to take risks.

As Melida's tutor and attendant, Kufa went to great lengths to help her grow stronger, starting by betraying his guild and his duties. He always thinks about the dangers ahead while thinking of nurturing and protecting Melida, despite being her enemy as a Vampire.

In both the light novel and manga version, many called out Kufa as a sadistic or demonic teacher, though he denies this. He later became renowned in the Angel household as the brutal teacher as he shows his devilish side when he trains someone, particularly Melida. As the only male allowed in the St. Friedeswiedes Academy for Girls, he unintentionally gained popularity with the girls there due to his devotion towards Melida.

Kufa occasionally talked about his fond memories of his mother to Melida. He reminiscences the struggle they went through due to their origin as Night citizens and his admiration of her strength she did for them before she passed on.

## Relationships

### Melida Angel

Assigned to be Melida Angel's tutor, Father instructed him that if he finds out that Melida has no talent for mana, he has to assassinate her. He disobeys Father's order because he sees the potential in Melida as she tries her best to defeat lancanthropes to prove she is a legitimate child of the Angel household. He believes that it will be a waste to kill her. He decides to do a transplant procedure that allows Melida to use mana. As a result, he puts his and Melida's lives in danger. He is training Melida to surpass his abilities in the future. He states that if there comes a day where she has to kill him, he will gladly give her his life. Despite his harsh training sessions, he acknowledges her learning capabilities. As time goes by, their bond grew stronger, that he began to cherish her as her existence brought him hope into his dark world. In addition, he becomes protective of her. In the manga, when Kufa believes that Black Madia changed the names on the stained glass during the Luna Lumiere tournament, he states that making Melida sad is a crime. In the anime, Black Madia revealed that Kufa asked her to watch over Melida if anything ever happens to him.

When Melida discovers Kufa's half vampire secret, he immediately wants to seal her memories because he does not want her to reject him like those in the past. However, he was astounded when Melida tells him that she accepts his true identity (the good and the bad) and considers his features to be lovely. In addition, she claims that she will always be at his side even if it means the rest of the world is against him, and she kisses him stating she admires him enough to do so. Thus, Kufa decides not to erase her memory, and he asks Melida to keep his lineage a secret, making her the only person outside his guild with whom he shares his identity.

By the end of Volume 9 (Light Novel), the two became officially lovers but keep their relationship a secret.

### Father

Kufa and Father met when Kufa was very young, almost 10 years ago. Father and two soldiers came to dispatch Naqua but found that they were unprepared as they were not aware he was a Testament level Lancanthrope. After Kufa weakened Naqua and Father delivered the "killing" blow, he confronted Kufa about his now turned sister. Due to Kufa biting her, she will crave blood consistently. Kufa had offered that he wipe Rosetti's memories and swear his loyalty if Father let her live. Father was surprised that he would go to such lengths, even asking, "How can you bring yourself to go that far?" To which Kufa responded, "Because I want her to be happy." After that, the youth went through hellish training to keep his vows. In his first assassination, he participated with Father to stop a terrorist bombing at 12 years old and killed the culprit.

Years later, their relationship seems like a relaxed version of a boss and a subordinate. Kufa sometimes refers to him as the bastard father. Kufa was dispatched by father to observe Melida Angel and dispose of her if she proves to be of little use. When Kufa sends in his report of his observation and time with Melida, through Laqua, it appears as if Father does not fully trust his report and was supposedly looking into it. It seems he wasn't aware of the influence Melida had on him nor the fact Kufa began to cherish his target that he even allowed her to retain her knowledge of his lineage

In Volume 10 (Light Novel), he gives Kufa the order to assassinate the Angel Sisters to prove his loyalty, which made Kufa choose to officially protect the girls and live his life as "Kufa Vampir", leaving the guild for good. The two fought with Kufa as the victor, but he spared his boss's life, thanking him. His former leader then officially declares a manhunt towards Kufa and anyone close to him till the end.

### Rosetti Pricket

A fellow tutor employed by the Angel household whom he met at the train station. The next time they met, they off to a bad start as Kufa insulted her by comparing her to a 12 year old. When they teamed up to save both the Angels, Rosetti felt something familiar about him.

When they were young children, Kufa came into the care of Marquis Blossom Pricket, where he had met Rosetti. In the flashback, it is shown that Rosetti was injured, assumingly, on the verge of death. Kufa could not stand to watch her die and turned her into his Kin. Upon the arrival of Father and the supposed dispatch of Naqua, Kufa made a deal that he would swear allegiance to Father and his guild if he could wipe Rosetti's memories and let her live in the "light". It was shown that when Naqua was threatening Rosetti's life, he became very protective, telling him not to touch his little sister. When he had to re-wipe her memories, outwardly, he did not seem upset, but when she stated she wanted to live alongside him, he told her, "it's cold over here." Indicating his loss of connection with his beloved sister has left him empty.

### Elise Angel

She tagged along with Kufa for Dance at Circlet Night. Elise is grateful for what he has done for them, but she regards him as her rival for her 'Lita's' affection since she often compliments about her teacher during their discussions. Kufa is aware of her hostility towards him but is pleased that she and Melida regained their close bond after the Luna Lumiere Selection. Elise soon discovers his reputation as a brutal teacher during her training sessions with him that she refers to him as the Devil.

### Amalia

Amalia was Kufa's deceased mother. She remains unnamed until Kufa returned to the Night World with the Dukes' daughters and were pursued by a vampire named Theodore who knew her. Kufa occasionally talked about his mother to Melida. Despite their struggles as refugees, Kufa admired her strengths and fondly remembered her. She is buried next to the orphanage at the Shangarta village.
