Asphodel

**Asphodel, the Lawless** is the most mysterious member of the rogue Bloodwilders group. While it is implied that she may have some relation or be in some form of relationship with Moldark, it is unclear exactly what. She was seen hibernating in the Bloodwilders Outpost in Colombera, Italy, and was killed shortly afterward when she was awakened and subsequently destroyed by Ikarus Stone. Ayumi Tanaka then took samples of Asphodel's DNA with the intention of studying it in the near future.

## Personality

Little is known about Asphodel's behavior. She hibernates for long periods of time, presumably for weeks or even months at a time, waking only when necessary, in danger, or called to by her friends/allies, the Bloodwilders. While it's implied she's sentient, she seems to be very obedient to Moldark and only responds with screaming and hissing, and engages anyone and anything with immediate hostility.

## Story

Not much is known about Asphodel's early life, but it is clear that there is something special about this vampire, having either been born with exceptional power or being granted those powers later on. She became a member of the Bloodwilders, but not after meeting Moldark in some way, shape, or form.

### Blades of the Parliament

In February 2019, while hibernating in the Bloodwilders' Outpost, she was seen by Ikarus Stone and Ayumi Tanaka, two vampire hunters. When Moldark was within an inch of his life under Iks and Ayumi's assault, he called to Asphodel who arrived on the scene immediately. As Asphodel prepared to retaliate against the hunters, however, she was swiftly destroyed by Iks' Sword of Dracula, being obliterated into a million pieces. Ayumi took some of what was left of her body for future research.
