The Count's life duty is to guard the Bloodline's treasure; The Tome. Over the years, the Tome drove the Count to prey on others in order to expand the Bloodline. However, he grew weary of the fear and hatred of his prey, and started to grow frustrated of his blind obedience to his natural instincts. In the end, he chose to seal off the Tome, banish the clan, and hide away from the world in the castle along with a few remaining vampires. Aside from loneliness and emptiness, he had nothing else.
