## Description

Vlad was a 594-year-old vampire coven leader. He had slick black hair and yellow eyes. Vlad donned a black robe over a grey blazer, a white vest with black buttons, and a matching shirt with a matching bowtie. In Act Like You Enjoy It, it is known that Vlad drinks wine, watches Frankenstein, and smokes cigarettes. In Drop Head, it is known that Vlad is fit. In Sacrilegious Sacrifice, it is known that Vlad eats tzatziki, knows Greek mythology, and smokes cigars. In In the Hold of Fangs, it is known that Vlad eats fried rice. In Trouble in Emerald City, it is known that Vlad eats mac and cheese, drinks Sex on the Beach, and is allergic to garlic. In The Hunt Begins, it is known that Vlad eats lamb, drinks wine, and has sun allergy.

## Murder details

Vlad was found bound up at a statue in broad daylight, dead from sunlight exposure. Alexa explained that she pretty much just spent the time watching The Sunset Saga instead of working on the autopsy, since there's no need as the death was obvious. However, she did take a quick look and saw traces of tortilla, salsa, and guacamole, which are the ingredients for burrito. Vlad hated burritos, according to Tashard, which means that the killer eats burritos.

## Relationships with suspects

Tashard blamed himself for the death of Vlad, as he didn't choose to accompany him during his tenure to the city, as Vlad did not have any entourage during that time. Vlad would often scold young vampire Justin Fertuitus, as the latter would misbehave frequently, causing nuisance towards both humans and vampires alike. Vlad was friends with supernatural hunter Jax Draven, despite the latter's profession and history with vampires. Vlad planned to meet his rival, Cassius, to settle a truce since there's a bigger problem to fight. Sophia Bartlett, who went rogue, is on a killing spree, targeting humans and supernatural creatures indiscriminately for the sake of fun, as she finds death as glorious. She tried to target Vlad after seeing him walking towards the town, but failed as she felt the presence of the cult nearby, and she knew that she shouldn't mess with them for now.

## Killer and motives

The killer turned out to be Justin.

Spyro: Well, bro, you're kinda f\*cked. It was a bad idea to kill Vlad.

Justin: Haha. For you it would be. Not for me.

Justin: That asshole destroyed my life. He should never have made me.

Spyro: Made you? What do you mean?

Justin: He was my father. I'm half human, half vampire. This is NOT the life I wanted.

Justin: Only now I had the strength to face him. I don't want to live forever, I don't want to drink blood, I just want a normal life.

Justin: He bossed me around, always just demanded. Killed my mother when she tried to run away. In short, he f\*cked us all.

Justin: Please, kill me. I don't want to do this anymore. I don't want to rot in a cell forever. Here. Take this stake. Do it!

Spyro: Chill out, man. We ain't gonna kill you. But we have a deal for you.

Spyro: Help us defeat Mohandas, and we won't send you to jail.

Justin: I can't do that, man. Mohandas is our savior. They're the light in the darkness. Please just kill me.

Spyro: We'll talk about that later. Follow me please.
