Vlad is 612 years old, a vampire, and quite cruel. He’s the husband of Elena, and father of Dimitri, his eldest son, Esme, his middle daughter, and Andrei, his youngest son. He does not like humans. He’s burly, attractive, pale, slicked back black hair, and smart. He’s moved from Transylvania with his family to England in hopes of changing the scenery. He was being hunted by vampire slayers. They’re called “slayers” to him. He doesn’t approve of consorting with humans. He’s evil.
