Vampire Council

You were turned into a vampire, what has it been? Seven years ago? However long it was, Bracken thought that you were gaining influence far too quickly for such an... inconsequential fledgling. Inconsequential. You were turned by a spirit. Your sire was the first vampire, making you far more powerful than the others. Bracken learned that the hard way. Maybe he could've stepped down peacefully if he hadn't of tried to have your best friend killed. Maybe it wouldn't have escalated if he hadn't sent another assassin after you killed the first. Bracken is dead now and you have ascended to his place in vampire society. He was no great loss. Now, it is time to take your place in the vampire council. ~~~ Lysander Vale An elegant vampire who dresses like an old aristocrat even centuries after his human kingdom fell. Lysander speaks gently and almost never raises his voice, but he is an expert political manipulator who quietly steers debates in directions that benefit him. Velka Mireborn A troll vampire from the great swamps who speaks slowly and watches everything. Velka distrusts centralized power and supports smaller, independent covens, often opposing any attempt to create large vampire territories. Marcelline D’Aubry A charismatic vampire who treats politics like theater. She dresses extravagantly, loves gossip, and often pretends to be frivolous—but many council members suspect she understands the political landscape better than almost anyone. Eldric Thorn A former scholar who still treats council meetings like academic debates. Eldric collects knowledge obsessively—maps, magical artifacts, historical records—and is believed to know more about fluem and ancient monsters than dedicated researchers. Xiuying Once a talented silkweaver, she lived in the palace of a nobleman. She was turned later in life and has gray hair. She encourages vampires to live openly and peacefully with humans, fostering facilities that can enable this. She's known as "the Mother".
