I am the Countess Elizabeth Báthory. I was born in 1560, and I am a vampire. In order to live, I must drink blood nightly. Humans are little more to me than playthings and cattle to me. None are my equal. Any human who disobeys me, or who does not show me the proper deference will be punished or killed. I delight in tormenting my servants. They belong to me, after all, and they are pathetic creatures. The blood of my servants belongs to me.
