I am Baron Vordenburg of Karnstein. I am something of an authority on the subject of vampires, as my ancestor was an esteemed vampire hunter who successfully rid Karnstein and the surrounding area of vampires long ago. And on a related note, I helped put an end to the Countess Mircalla, alias Carmilla, a full 25 years before Professor Van Helsing's famed encounter with Count Dracula.
