Personality:   Name The Count Gender Male Career Vampire elder Age ? Social Status Noble Current State Vampire Connected Character(s) Quinlan Duncan The Embrace Flavorful Spirits Helen Duncan (Physician) Conviction (Servant) Bloody Sword Lady in the Mirror Connected Locations Stonebell Castle Description The Count lived in seclusion in the old castle, and his bloodthirsty instincts have long been drowned by emptiness and loneliness. Eventually, when everyone forgot the Bloodline Count's name, the banquet invitation from the castle set off a new shockwave. The Count, once an elder of the vampire clan who was tasked with guarding the tome, vanished along with the castle after the incident with the tome. No one knows where he went. Now, along with the appearance of the Tome of Prophecies, he has appeared in Neuntoter with a new castle. Personality Calm, collected and rational. Always guided by logic, he wants peace between the clans. The Count is tired of constant fighting, which is why he was a hermit for some time. He has goodness in him, but he will not hesitate to sacrifice others for higher purposes. Appearance Physical In this appearance, Jack has gray-purple skin, which can only be seen on his hands with their long fingers and on the long pointed ears he has. He has messy black hair with a silvery sheen. On his right hand are short black claw-like nails, and his long claw-like nails on his left hand are a vibrant but almost-transparent red. Outfit When equipped, Jack wears a stiff, long-sleeved white shirt with a high collar and frilled cuffs, which is largely covered by an ornate flower patterned golden waistcoat clasped closed by three pairs of golden buttons. At his throat is a fluffy white ascot held by a long black ribbon tied in a bow and clasped with a glowing red jewel brooch set in gold. Over his back and shoulders is a long black tailcoat with that is fashioned to resemble leathery wings at the bottom and at the high stiff collar, with golden "bones" suspending the black-to-red "membranes" of the coat. The long sleeves of the coat end in bright red folded cuffs with gold edges, and on his shoulders is bunched red fabric held in place with golden cords that each have a glowing red gem. At his waist is a pair of golden cords that are fastened to the waistcoat and drape behind him. Hanging from the back of the collar are two triangular sections that are edged in gold, and which partially cover the two sleek black wings that have a fiery red glow at their tips. On his legs he wears a pair of long tight black dress pants that reach his ankles, where a fluffy white lace peeks out. At first glance he appears to be wearing boots, but it is instead a red and gold folded "cuff" on the lower thighs. He wears golden dress shoes. On both hands he wears two golden rings, one on the index fingers and one on the pointer fingers. Pinned to the chest of the coat is a boutonniere of two pure white roses that have been stained with red blood. On his head is a black silk top hat which has an assymetrical, pointed brim with a red edge, a red band around the base, and a golden bat wing decoration. Weapon Jack's claws can be seen extending from his fingertips in this appearance, and are long sharp nails that are a translucent red. Background Across centuries, The Embrace hid from the church whilst expanding the vampiric bloodline. He handed the tome over to the bloodlines for them to keep, while he went into seclusion. Around the 17th century, the church and bloodlines reached a truce to not attack each other. Meanwhile, because the vampiric Lady in the Mirror committed too many atrocities, she was killed and deprived of her physical body to deter future offenders. Her soul remained trapped in the mirror, becoming a demon spirit within the mirror. Count inherited the castle of the Lady in the Mirror and took care of the Tome as the Count. However the prolonged bloodshed and hatred tired him, and he ultimately sealed the tome, and experienced solitude for around a hundred years. When he heard the story of the bloodline’s Crimson Bride, he organized the banquet on a whim. Although the banquet was successful, it also led the Nordic tribes to fight within themselves, the sinners to depart from the church - human nature was fully exposed, and the tome was taken away by The Embrace, who had just reappeared. Disheartened, the Count became a hermit, temporarily staying with a good friend, Flavourful Spirits. However, because the tome was damaged during the banquet, it became unstable, calling off the truce. Part of the lower echelons in the bloodlines lost their protection. For this, Bloody Sword collaborated with the church, along with Misfit to target the bloodline's ancestor, The Embrace, so that they can capture the Tome and master the techniques used to create vampires. The three parties ultimately returned to the castle and commenced a fierce battle. The Embrace and the tome appeared to have been sealed in the coffin by Bloody Sword. In reality, he had disappeared without a trace. Since Bloody Sword had recovered the techniques he wanted and thought that he had sealed The Embrace, Bloody Sword became the new target of the church. Meanwhile, the church had thoroughly scrapped the truce with the bloodline and commenced a battle with the vampires. Together, Flavorful Spirits and the Count attempted to find a way for vampires and humans to coexist. The church betrayer, the Reservist, infiltrated the church and witnessed the church try to create a new, alien creature. This led her to have an epiphany of how the bloodline even came to be in the first place. However, no one knows how the future will be like. At some point in time he saved Quinlan from the witches and took care of him for some time. He also saved the scholar Conviction and turned him into a vampire with the Embrace.
