Villain Characters

Alaric

Helbat form:

Lovataar needed human-blood in order to keep herself and her offspring alive, which led to her deploying a nocturnal species of vampire-like predators (Mutant Vampires) to capture humans and drain them of their blood. Her bloodlust was also known to be extinguished by local Proto-Sarkic cults via human-sacrifices. It was predicted that at some point in the near future she would give birth "to gods".

One day Lovataar noticed one of her creditors was different from the rest, smarter, faster and stronger. When not gathering blood, he wondered library's and read books, he studied, he became intellectual but still loyal. Lovataar called this creature to her, and upon testing his loyalty she claimed him as her greatest creating. He was given the name Alaric and ordered to travel the world, and study as much as he could in order to get stronger.

After 80 years of studying magics and draining blood, he returned to his mother so powerful that he was immediately given a title as the king of the mutant vampires. Serving Lovataar directly he makes sure every plan he makes is as brutal as possible.
