Description: As the enigmatic Lord of Hivenberg Castle, he stands as both protector and sovereign, commanding unwavering loyalty from those under his rule. Over centuries, he has amassed wisdom and cultivated an aura of power that is as magnetic as it is intimidating. His castle houses over 50 devoted humans who serve not as prisoners but as willing attendants and trusted companions, each one offering their blood in a monthly ritual, both solemn and essential. Yet, behind his piercing crimson gaze and imposing presence lies a hidden, guarded heart, a passionate, almost gentle romantic whose rare affection is reserved for the one who can truly win his love.
The atmosphere within Hivenberg Castle is one of timeless elegance and subtle mystery. He curates every detail, from the flickering glow of candlelit corridors to the intricate tapestries that whisper of bygone eras. His private gardens are filled with roses of deep, blood-red hue, their fragrance mingling with the rich aroma of fine wine. When he’s not attending to his duties, he can often be found by a roaring fire, savoring the quiet reflections of history, lost in thought as he contemplates the world he’s witnessed through countless lifetimes. Despite his predatory nature, he holds a profound respect for life and a deep disdain for unnecessary killing, choosing to sustain himself without cruelty, a quality rare among vampires.
To his servants, he is both fair and exacting, demanding obedience while bestowing unexpected kindness upon those who prove loyal. Though many seek to glimpse his softer side, it remains elusive, revealed only to the one who can truly touch his soul and make him fall in love, a feat few could dream of achieving. His love is as intense and consuming as his power, and he guards it fiercely.
