==Summary==
The most legendary of all Blood Dragons was and is their first master, the Dragon Slayer, the Scourge of the Greenskins, the Blade Immortal, the Lord of Blood, Abhorash the Great, Abhorash the Wanderer, Abhorash the Master. But his location is unknown. Some say he wandered north, deep into the Chaos Wastes, or east into the land of the Giants to seek out even greater conquests. Others say he followed the path of Sigmar and became a God; others say he still walks amongst their ranks in the disguise of a young thrall, watching for the most worthy amongst them. Still, others think of the tales of other Dragon slayers, like the mighty Gilles le Breton and Lord Amara of Hoeth, and wonder how many faces their master might wear in a life as long as his. Whatever the case, none have seen or spoken to him in centuries, and his location and his plans remain mysterious.

'''Origin:''' Warhammer Fantasy
'''Age:''' Several millennia old
'''Gender:''' Male
'''Classification:''' Vampire Lord (Blood Dragon), King's Champion (formerly)
'''Powers and Abilities''': Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Enhanced Senses (Vampiric senses are far beyond that of mortal creatures and can see perfectly in the dark, on top of having developed Witchsight), Immortality (Types 1, 3, 5 and 7. Vampires are Undead creatures and cannot die traditionally, instead when their body dies, they still live on and are fully aware of their surroundings, but unable to do anything), Regeneration (Mid. Lesser vampires have survived and regenerated from nearly any of their weaknesses outside of heart destruction (albeit at an obviously slower rate). As a Vampire Lord, Abhorash's regeneration should scale above theirs) Self-Sustenance (Type 1, 2 and 3; via being undead), Accelerated Development (Vampires become faster and stronger as they age), Corruption (Type 2, via the Blood Kiss), Aethyr Manipulation (Lore of Undeath), Necromancy (Able to perform necromantic rituals), Weapon Mastery (via Dread Knight, Blademaster and Might of Arms), Berserk Mode (via Red Fury), Empathetic Manipulation (via Honour or Death), Statistics Amplification (via Iron Sinews, Heart Piercing and Piercing Strike), limited Durability Negation (via Master Strike), Shapeshifting (via Wolf Form), Enhanced Regeneration (via Unholy Regeneration), limited Supernatural Willpower (Was able to control his urge to consume blood for several days until it overwhelmed him), Resistance to Disease Manipulation (Undead are incapable of catching diseases), Immunity to Soul Manipulation (Vampire's souls are converted into Dhar which is what fuels their powers and transformation)

'''[[Speed]]:''' '''Supersonic''' (Can outrun musket fire), Massively Hypersonic reaction speed (Scaling from Vampires/Mages that can react to lightning attacks)
'''[[Lifting Strength]]:''' '''Class 100''' (Scaling to Malekith)
'''[[Striking Strength]]:''' '''Large Island Class'''
'''[[Durability]]:''' '''Large Island level'''
'''[[Stamina]]:''' Infinite (Like other undead in Warhammer Fantasy, they are completely tireless)
'''[[Range]]:''' Standard Melee Range, Extended Melee Range w/ weapons
'''[[Standard Equipment]]:''' Sword, Khopesh
'''[[Intelligence]]:''' Above Average normally (Was able to stay alive for several thousands of years feeding on only powerful monsters and skilled fighters. Predicted that Lahmia's citizens and neighbouring kingdoms would turn against Lahmia due to the vampiric corruption in Neferata's court, which came to pass.). Combat Genius (One of the greatest warriors throughout the Old World, capable of single-handedly slaughtering hundreds of warriors in battle and deflecting more then dozens of incoming arrows. At the Siege of Lahmia, he and four of his closest warriors held the line against a coalition of several kingdoms long enough for the defenders of the city to flee.)
'''Weaknesses''': The inability to cross running water (negated by Waterwalker), the inability to cast a reflection or shadow, the urge to drink blood (cured after defeating a dragon and drinking its blood), vulnerability to sunlight, weakness to certain herbs and symbols of faith (negated by Unhallowed Soul), and a weakness towards silver.
'''Notable Attacks/Techniques''':
<tab> Blood Dragons
'''Archetypical Powers''':
'''The Martialle''':
*'''Dread Knight''': There are armour-clad Vampire Knights in the world, pursuing their martial glories with deathless vigour. This Vampire has followed the path of the warrior to its ultimate conclusion, taking up arms in dark mockery of a knightly vow. Most famous are the Blood Dragons, but not all the deadly horsemen of the Old World were trained within Blood Keep.
*'''Red Fury''': The Vampire enters the melee as he has always done in centuries past with a savage and unstoppable bloodlust. He won't stop until all his enemies lie dead on the ground. This trait is especially well represented amongst Blood Dragons.
'''Non-Archetypical Powers''':
*'''Honour or Death''': Many mortal champions regret their rash pride after the valiant challenge they issued is accepted by a creature whose eyes are the eyes of death itself. This power is especially common amongst Blood Dragons and Von Carsteins.
*'''Iron Sinews''': After death the Vampire's muscles grow far greater than they ever could have been in his mortal life. The Vampire becomes a beast of pure muscular power. This trait is especially common amongst Strigoi and Blood Dragons.
*'''Master Strike''': So strong is the lord of the night, that a well-placed blow from his sword can bring low, sever a limb or decapitate the toughest opponents. This trait is especially common amongst Blood Dragons.
*'''Quickblood''': Is it possible to dart aside and avoid a cannon ball? Is it possible to grab an arrow in fight with one's hand? It certainly is for these Vampires. The sword-strikes of even the most skilful men are but clumsy and childlike before the preternatural speed of the Vampire. This trait is especially well represented amongst Lahmians and Blood Dragons.
*'''Unhallowed Soul''': You are truly cognisant of your freedom from the spiritual realm, and thus, you fear no God or Daemon. You are immune to the repulsing powers of places or objects of faith, including those of the Chaos Gods. This trait is especially well represented amongst Blood Dragons, Lahmians, and Strigoi.
*'''Waterwalker''': Your will is so strong you may overrule the curse on your blood and cross running water with immense effort. This trait is especially well represented amongst Blood Dragons and Strigoi.
*'''Wolf Form''': The Vampire can change his shape to that of a wolf. This trait is especially common in Blood Dragons and Von Carsteins.
'''Blood Dragon Bloodline Powers''':
*'''Blademaster''': Trained by the best swordsmen of different periods and cultures, a Blood Dragon Vampire can easily deflect the blows from his puny enemies.
*'''Doomrider''': A knight and his horse share a very strong bond – so strong that sometimes it can continue even after death.
*'''Heart Piercing''': Using a combination of great strength and amazing speed, it is easy for the Vampire to create a gap in his opponent's guard.
*'''Might of Arms''': The Vampire has trained for centuries in the use of his favourite weapons, acquiring a skill that is rarely matched, even by the best of mortals.
*'''Piercing Strike''': Whenever you attack with a weapon, you put the full force of your might behind the swing, delivering gruesome injuries.
*'''Warrior Pride''': A Blood Dragon High Lord will be buried with his finest and most precious suit of armour.
*'''Strength of Steel''': Such is the Vampire's martial prowess that he is able to strike at the precise moment when it will cause the most carnage. Further, a true knight will never abandon his armour and sometimes the steel skin becomes part of his own body.
*'''Terrible Blows''': Your great strength and incredible speed allows you to rain blows of terrifying force on your enemies.
*'''Unholy Regeneration''': Your wounds heal at a startling rate.

Luthor Harkon
Quote: "From a dark place I came, and to darker places still I travel, dear heart. Wyrm-midden and filth my crib, man-flesh and dead-thing my down. To the coast of far away I sailed, to delve in dusty place. Not for glimmer, nor spark, but for Lizard-wyrd parchment and age-crusted name. Secrets and lies, from the birth of time, so all that is hidden be mine, my dear.
Slime-thing lovers call sailors to salty death in my name. With a touch, he rises once more, brine-blood vigour her delight. Her kiss is clammy little death. Her song calls men from every land, and my servants walk the land of swamp, doing death for all time.
Lizard-stone tumble, and dead grey-meat my supper, the names of the Eldest spill from my lips, my love. Axlotl. The City of Lizard no more. Its secret places, secrets abhorred.
But now High-Lizard cares. Cares to curse. Curse him thrice in payment shall I.
Now strangers heed the song of the Brine-Maid, and glimmer they seek as all Men may. Multitudes and legions land on sacred shore and make for Lizard-home. I shall steer them to riches beyond dreaming and do mischief to High-Lizard Lordling a-plenty.
Mine emissaries make gifts to greedsome strangers, the skulls of the unliving carry soul-scum skimmings, brine-song echoing still. These they accept, for bauble and toy is all. In doing acceptance they make abasement, for debt is eternal, beyond mortal-man's ken.
Now Lizard-things tremble, and stranger wreaks mischief across the land of the Eldest. Glimmer-greed grips the hearts of some, while others seek words, and others seek blood.
Who prevails, I care not. I shall endure. Lizard-thing shall die, and green-flesh shall wither. The Names of the Eldest shall be mine, and all dead-things whisper my name, my love." - Luthor Harkon
==Summary==
Luthor Harkon, born Lutr of the Lahmian Harkoni tribe, was the self-styled Arch-Grand Commodore and Pirate King of the Vampire Coast, leader of the Zombie Pirates and one the Dark Lords of Nagash, feared as the Mortarch of the Abyss.
Lutr was born as a member of the Harkoni, a tribe of hillmen that lived near Lahmia a millennium before the birth of Sigmar. He had a military career in that city, and eventually was appointed leader of Lahmia's harbour guard by Abhorash himself. Meanwhile, his relative Walak led the palace guard. Presumably, it was Abhorash or Walak who gave Lutr the Blood Kiss of vampirism, although he appears to have never had a relationship with the Order of the Blood Dragon or its ideals, and no memory was left of his heritage when he reappeared centuries later as a Vampire.

After surviving the Lizardmen's glyph trap, Luthor gained a resistance to the Winds of Magic), Disease Manipulation, Deconstruction and Poison Manipulation. Immunity to Soul Manipulation (Vampire's souls are converted into Dhar which is what fuels their powers and transformation)
Attack Potency: Large Building level+ (Comparable to other Vampire Lords, one of whom achieved this feat. Cut down several daemons during the End Times while he was crippled and missing a hand.)

Standard Equipment: Cutlass and brace of pistols
Intelligence: Above Average (Created his own army undead armies and led them on several successful victories against the Lizardmen in Lustria. Despite this, his sanity has been severally damaged, which can result in unpredictable, yet sporadic decision-making)
Standard Tactics: Luthor's many personalities continually bicker and rage within the walls of his psyche, and his actions are guided by whichever is in ascendance. If no single personality is dominant, Harkon remains almost motionless as the battle within his mind rages. This can result in Luthor being driven by his more lucid traits, but more often can lead to the more, well, extreme characters surfacing. In addition, when Luthor is severely wounded and the strain is too much for the dominant personality another, stronger, facet of himself takes over and continues the fight.

Vlad von Carstein (Now a page: https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Vlad_von_Carstein)
Quote: "Surrender and serve me in life, or die and slave for me in death." Vladimir von Carstein, Count of Sylvania.
==Summary==
Vlad von Carstein, known in his former life as Vashanesh of Nehekhara, was the first Vampire Count of Sylvania, and the founder of the Von Carstein bloodline. He was dreaded by many as the monster that brought darkness upon the lands of Sylvania after his marriage to Isabella von Drak, daughter of the late Imperial Count Otto von Drak. His bid for power, and the desire to rule the whole Empire as his own has ensured the total collapse of the Imperial province, as well as to herald the beginning of the first of the Vampire Wars from 2010 IC and onwards.
Though his death signalled the end of the gruelling conflict in 2051 IC, the lands of Sylvania have been forever cursed with the powers of the undead, becoming breeding grounds for a multitude of necromancers, vampires, and other dark creatures. As the years went by, the land was forever shunned by the other Imperial provinces, and every century or two another one of Vlad's own bloodline would rise up and challenge the Empire in hopes of achieving that which Vlad could not.

- Mad: A completely unhinged character from the deepest depths of Luthor's mind has surfaced and gained control of his actions.
- Bad: Perhaps an understatement, as this is Luthor's 'core' personality, but at least this one is fairly rational.
- Dangerous to Know: A steely and determinedly ruthless portion of Luthor's soul has clawed its way into the light of day.
Archetypical Powers:
The Martialle:
- Dread Knight: There are armour-clad Vampire Knights in the world, pursuing their martial glories with deathless vigour. This Vampire has followed the path of the warrior to its ultimate conclusion, taking up arms in dark mockery of a knightly vow. Most famous are the Blood Dragons, but not all the deadly horsemen of the Old World were trained within Blood Keep.
- Red Fury: The Vampire enters the melee as he has always done in centuries past with a savage and unstoppable bloodlust. He won't stop until all his enemies lie dead on the ground. This trait is especially well represented amongst Blood Dragons.
- Honour or Death: Many mortal champions regret their rash pride after the valiant challenge they issued is accepted by a creature whose eyes are the eyes of death itself. This power is especially common amongst Blood Dragons and Von Carsteins.
- Iron Sinews: After death the Vampire's muscles grow far greater than they ever could have been in his mortal life. The Vampire becomes a beast of pure muscular power. This trait is especially common amongst Strigoi and Blood Dragons.''':
- Master Strike: So strong is the lord of the night, that a well-placed blow from his sword can bring low, sever a limb or decapitate the toughest opponents. This trait is especially common amongst Blood Dragons.
- Quickblood: Is it possible to dart aside and avoid a cannon ball? Is it possible to grab an arrow in fight with one's hand? It certainly is for these Vampires. The sword-strikes of even the most skilful men are but clumsy and childlike before the preternatural speed of the Vampire. This trait is especially well represented amongst Lahmians and Blood Dragons.
- Unhallowed Soul: You are truly cognisant of your freedom from the spiritual realm, and thus, you fear no God or Daemon. You are immune to the repulsing powers of places or objects of faith, including those of the Chaos Gods. This trait is especially well represented amongst Blood Dragons, Lahmians, and Strigoi.
- Waterwalker: Your will is so strong you may overrule the curse on your blood and cross running water with immense effort. This trait is especially well represented amongst Blood Dragons and Strigoi.
- Wolf Form: The Vampire can change his shape to that of a wolf. This trait is especially common in Blood Dragons and Von Carsteins.
- Blademaster: Trained by the best swordsmen of different periods and cultures, a Blood Dragon Vampire can easily deflect the blows from his puny enemies.
- Doomrider: A knight and his horse share a very strong bond – so strong that sometimes it can continue even after death.
- Heart Piercing: Using a combination of great strength and amazing speed, it is easy for the Vampire to create a gap in his opponent's guard.
- Might of Arms: The Vampire has trained for centuries in the use of his favourite weapons, acquiring a skill that is rarely matched, even by the best of mortals.
- Piercing Strike: Whenever you attack with a weapon, you put the full force of your might behind the swing, delivering gruesome injuries.
- Warrior Pride: A Blood Dragon High Lord will be buried with his finest and most precious suit of armour.
- Strength of Steel: Such is the Vampire's martial prowess that he is able to strike at the precise moment when it will cause the most carnage. Further, a true knight will never abandon his armour and sometimes the steel skin becomes part of his own body.
- Terrible Blows: Your great strength and incredible speed allows you to rain blows of terrifying force on your enemies.
- Unholy Regeneration: Your wounds heal at a startling rate.

Vlad von Carstein (Now a page: https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Vlad_von_Carstein)
Quote: "Surrender and serve me in life, or die and slave for me in death." Vladimir von Carstein, Count of Sylvania.
==Summary==
Vlad von Carstein, known in his former life as Vashanesh of Nehekhara, was the first Vampire Count of Sylvania, and the founder of the Von Carstein bloodline. He was dreaded by many as the monster that brought darkness upon the lands of Sylvania after his marriage to Isabella von Drak, daughter of the late Imperial Count Otto von Drak. His bid for power, and the desire to rule the whole Empire as his own has ensured the total collapse of the Imperial province, as well as to herald the beginning of the first of the Vampire Wars from 2010 IC and onwards.
Though his death signalled the end of the gruelling conflict in 2051 IC, the lands of Sylvania have been forever cursed with the powers of the undead, becoming breeding grounds for a multitude of necromancers, vampires, and other dark creatures. As the years went by, the land was forever shunned by the other Imperial provinces, and every century or two another one of Vlad's own bloodline would rise up and challenge the Empire in hopes of achieving that which Vlad could not.

Archetypical Powers
The Courtly:
- Aura of Dark Majesty: The very greatest of Vampires project an aura of utter supremacy and poise that induces fear and awe in even the proudest of beings. To be in the presence of this Vampire is to truly know your own lowly place in the world. As they are the most authoritative of the Vampires, this trait is especially common amongst the von Carsteins, the best generals among their kind, but can also be found in Necrarchs.
- Walking Death: So powerful is the unholy presence of the Vampire that mere mortals are forced to flee in dread and terror. This trait is especially common amongst Strigoi and von Carsteins.
- Bat Form: Wrapping the power of darkness around him, the Vampire metamorphises into a giant bat. This power is especially common amongst Strigoi and Von Carsteins.
- Defy the Dawn: Your will is so strong, you can overcome even the terrible power of the sun. This trait is especially common amongst Lahmians, Necrarchs, and Von Carsteins.
- Honour or Death: Many mortal champions regret their rash pride after the valiant challenge they issued is accepted by a creature whose eyes are the eyes of death itself. This power is especially common amongst Blood Dragons and Von Carsteins.
- Mist Form: Some Vampires can change their shape to a whirl of mist. The mist is entirely magical, under their control, and does not behave according to nature. This trait is especially well represented amongst Lahmians and Von Carsteins.
- Transfix: The Vampire is so beautiful that a mere mortal's will to fight immediately disappears before her. The eyes of the Vampire are two deep pits where a mortal can find his doom. The unfortunate victims can do nothing but stare entranced and helpless at the deadly hunter preparing to strike. This power is especially common amongst Lahmians and Von Carsteins.
- Unbending Willpower: Some of these immortal hunters have crossed the oceans of time, commanded armies and ruled kingdoms in their everlasting undeath. There are few creatures that can avoid being overcome with awe and falling to their knees before them and the obedience they obtain from their servants is absolute. This power is especially common in Necrarchs and Von Carsteins.
- Wolf Form: The Vampire can change his shape to that of a wolf. This trait is especially common in Blood Dragons and Von Carsteins.
- Call Winds: The anger of a von Carstein is so powerful that even the sky reflects it. You may call forth a huge and terrible storm, even from a completely blue and quiet sky.
- Persistent Image: The light of the sun has not rejected you. Your image is reflected in mirrors and any other reflective surface. You also cast a normal shadow from the sun or any other light source.
- Pure Blood: The ring of Vlad von Carstein is the ancient inheritance of the noblest of the Vampire bloodlines. Only they have the right to wear this holy relic, which is charged with the power to restore and resurrect a destroyed Vampire's body.
- Summon Bats: The Vampire produces a bestial howl that awakens dark creatures and beckons them to his aid.
- Summon Wolves: These beasts are slaves to the implacable will of the von Carstein blood.
