## Personality

When he was released by the player at the basement of the Bartholy Manor, Isaac is initially neutral to see them both before he easily beats Drogo with his superhuman strength. As "The First One" vampire, he demonstrates his superhuman strength which he easily beats Drogo into a pulp and it was revealed that he can seriously injure any vampires and they are unable to heal themselves with their regeneration. According to Nicolae Bartholy, Isaac is mostly feared by any vampires and supernaturals alike. However, he is not immune to sunlight and the brightness of any forms of light, forcing him to stay underground.

His true personality is revealed on Chapter 5 where he was actually calm, serious and acts like a gentleman when both he and the player had an acquaintance with one another during their second meeting as opposed to the personalities of both of his parents. He was upset when other vampires like Nicolae and Peter had thought of him that he was a huge threat to their cause following his release by the player due to Lorie's trickery when he was introduced in Chapter 4 as well as he inherits his mother's loving care for children when the player talks about Lorie.

However like other vampires, he had a clear distaste towards his father Viktor and wanted to settle the score with him. Isaac also reveals that his necromancy magic enables him to survive after telling the player that he became weak following his release.

In Chapter 6, Isaac like the rest of the vampires finally displays his deep hatred to his father Viktor when he attempted to kill him in his unconscious state at the basement of the Arcane only for the player to stop him from doing so. Isaac was later given some respect and acceptance to both Nicolae and Peter due to his alliance with Drogo, the player and Sarah. But on Chapter 7, he reunites with Lorie due to their close friendship and was opposed by Nicolae because he was not welcome to the adopted family. But Nicolae reluctantly allows Isaac to stay with them at Lorie's behest.

In Chapter 8, this shows more of his backstory during the climax, his deep hatred with Viktor was revealed following his transformation into a vampire after his mother had recently passed away especially for transforming Lorie into a vampire in 1839 after he murdered Anabelle, leading him to battle Viktor in a deadly bout but ended up gets defeated which is the main reason he was locked up in the basement.

## Season 1 (Chad's Route)

Isaac Bartholy is the biological son of Viktor Bartholy and Cleo Bartholomeus during their brief relationship. When he finally grows up as an adult following his mother's loss, he was transformed into a vampire by Viktor on the same day that Cleo died, leading him to display his deep hatred towards his own father. The following centuries in 1839, Isaac now as an Original vampire-human hybrid had discovered Viktor transforms Lorie into a vampire after he murdered Anabelle Edwards and both of them had a clash with one another until he was defeated when he misses his necromancy powers to hit Viktor after the latter had been attacking him for interfering in the ritual between him and his lover Seth, which led him to be put on a deep slumber at the basement of the Bartholy Manor.

2000 years later, his mother Cleo was revived by Chad Williams when he had a started a romantic relationship with the player inside the New York Museum within her tomb which was excavated by Sebastian Jones. Isaac was mentioned between Viktor and Cleo in the final chapter, where Viktor reveals to her that he had transformed their son into a vampire, much to her anger.

## Season 3

Isaac was referred as the "The First One" by Lorie Bartholy during chapter 3. He was first seen in a shadow appearance during chapter 4 after the player opens the casket of his tomb which Lorie had been planned to release him. As both Drogo and the player argue due to Lorie, Isaac was behind them, forcing Drogo to protect the player and battles him. Isaac was impervious to the latter's own physical strength but he demonstrates his superhuman strength when he managed to knock Drogo out with an ease as well as he managed to cracked his ribs. The player attempts to use her powerful spells with her magic, it was negated by his necromancy powers before escaping. Nicolae was later angered on the player when he sees an open tomb which Lorie asked her to open it, he angrily asks her to explain herself because she had released Isaac and mistook him as the evil creature into the world and their lives are currently endangered due to his presence. At the end of the chapter, Isaac currently resides at the basement of Cassandre's House after displaying his weakness of not immune to sunlight and any lights that cause more brightness, forcing him to lock himself at their basement and Sarah Osborne mentions to the player that this evil creature according to Nicolae is also a Bartholy like Viktor and the rest of the vampires.

In chapter 5, Isaac was actually harmless since Nicolae and Peter had thought of him as the huge threat to their current lives. Both himself and the player had introduced themselves and became acquaintance with her and Sarah. He was upset when other vampires had referred to him as the "The First One". He also had a long standing friendship with Lorie and the main reason why she wanted to set him free from his deep slumber made by his father Viktor. The player felt some magical presence on Isaac due to his necromancy powers he had inherited from his mother Cleo, an Egyptian necromancy priestess while thinking they are connected with each other. Although, Isaac had a clear distaste towards Viktor and wanted to settle the score with him but was weakened. Isaac was later helped by both the player and Sarah and informs her that he became weak and his necromancy magic enables him to survive rather than drinking animal blood. Isaac was thankful enough for both of them helping him to get rest in his weaker state. At the end of Chapter 5, Isaac was enlisted by Sarah with the player's alliance and serves as their secret weapon due to his necromancy magic he had harnessed to negate Cassandre's powerful spells after using her late daughter, Isadora's energy to harness her magical powers.

In chapter 6, he was meditating outside of Cassandre's house under Sarah's guidance in order to harness his necromancy powers and was happy to see the player when she visits him. Later, he solely infiltrates alone at the basement of the Arcane where he attempted to kill his father Viktor who is remained unconscious (since his soul was imprisoned by Cassandre using her scepter at the end of the second season). He was stopped by the player and assisting her by channeling his necromancy magic into her own magic to find Cassandre where she can see a vision of Cassandre went to the Citadel of Qaitbay. Isaac was soon welcomed by the Bartholy brothers and trying to regroup into finding Cassandre's whereabouts. In chapter 7, Isaac reunites with Lorie but was not welcomed by Nicolae because of his powerful presence. At Lorie's behest, Nicolae reluctantly allows Isaac to stay and to her excitement.

In Chapter 8, he was glad that Sarah and Conrad manage to get Drogo and the player back to safety but Conrad jabs him stating that his energy and prowess are from his blood as an Original vampire before leaving. Which angers Drogo for not saying to them about his real origins as an Original. Later, he was revealed to bought a cellphone to contact the player and was remained on Nicolae's study by reading a book while trying to channeling his necromancy powers. He was angered when the player surprises him. Isaac is also knowlegable of any rare vampiric powers such as astral projection and mind reversion. Afterwards, he was taken by the player to show around the town of Mystery Spell and it was his first time to show the outside and is no longer sensitive from the sun rays. This is where he reveals his brief backstory about him when he spoke to the player. He had a grudge with someone like Viktor and was deeply hatred towards his father Viktor for transforming him into a vampire following her mother's death and in 1839 upon discovering Viktor transforming Lorie into a vampire after he murdered her mother Anabelle Edwards, he was infuriated for what he has done, leading him to battle him and Viktor into a deadly bout but was defeated and the main reason he was locked up inside his tomb at the basement of the Bartholy Manor to spend another more years. He also mentioned his former lover who also gives her his silver necklace with a sun pendant as a memento and also corrects the player about the necklace from the souvenir shops she had mentioned were just trinkets. He was glad that the player accompanies him to look around town but she remains upset because of Drogo's change of personality due to possession.

Isaac reveals his sexuality as a bisexual in Chapter 9 where he tells the player that he had a relationship with Seth. Later due to Viktor's manipulations towards Nicolae, Sarah and Conrad while his soul was inhabited on Drogo's body, Isaac was blamed by Nicolae and wants him to be locked up in the Arcane. He is later freed in Chapter 10 after the player manages to strike Drogo with her magic, resulted him and Viktor's souls to return to their respective bodies and he mistook Drogo as his lover Seth who is a sorcerer when he tried to wake him up. He snapped out from his dream with the help of the player's magic and was helped by Sarah. Drogo decided to train Isaac like the other vampires such as Nicolae and Conrad which he happily accepts while he apologizes for attacking him when they first met at the basement of the Bartholy Manor. Returning back to the Bartholy Manor, he is also knowledgable about the rare ritual conducted by Viktor called the "The Oath of the Eternals" knowingly that Viktor tried to distort the ritual between Drogo and the player in which he informs them that it was a close call. That ritual is purposely to unite the souls of lovers beyond the grave. When the player asked him about this, he states that if one lover dies so does the other. He decided to stay at the gardens of the manor, allowing Drogo and the player to get along with each other. At the near end of Chapter 10, Isaac uses his camouflage spell when the player sensed his magical presence to meet both of them at the top of the Bartholy Chapel. It was revealed that Viktor had interfered the ritual between him and Seth and the mistake he made when he misses his target with his necromancy powers which resulted in his defeat and being locked up in the basement for centuries but before he was locked up he had seen Viktor's fear in his eyes due to his necromancy powers. He finally opens up to both of them about Viktor's weakness because of his confrontation with him which was actually his secret because he inherited all of the powers from his parents between a necromancer and an Original vampire and he wants the player to teaming up in killing Viktor. Despite Drogo's meddle about his secrets, Isaac tells him that he is the only person can kill Viktor because he shares the same blood and telling them both that he is an Original (Although he is a necromancer and an Original vampire hybrid).

In the final chapter of the story, he is sided with the Bartholy Brothers along with Drogo, Sarah and the player whenever they infiltrated at the Arcane and to kill Viktor in both endings.
