Ties to Hero: sidekick to Andrew Bennett
Power(s):
immortality: he is immortal in the sense that he can live forever but he can be kill by being impaled and then decapitated.
enhanced strength and speed: depending on how recently he has fed and how much energy he has, his strength can range from being above that of a ordinary human to being at superhuman levels, but since he is a newborn vampire his max strength only grants him the power to lift a bus. His speed is fast enough to make him appear as a blur when he is running.
Razor sharp claws: Vladimir can extend his fingernails into very sharp talons which can cut through many things and are used as his primary source of attack when he is not using his sword
Bat Control: Vladimir can communicate with and control bats of all kinds and can command them in swarms to do his biding.
Bat transformation: Vladimir has two transformations, his first one simply allows him to transform into a vampire bat, and his second transformation lets him transform into a [url=http://fc05.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2012/202/5/d/skyrim_mod_project__creatues__bat_monster_by_daz18-d5842s1.jpg]monster bat[/url] but he can only stay in his monster form for a short period of time while he is in direct sunlight.
Superhuman Senses.
Wall Crawling.
Superhuman jump.
healing: His wounds will heal but the process happens at a fairly slow pace and it does take away some of his energy
Weaknesses: sunlight weakens him and makes it so he can't fight at his full potential but when he is in darkness or shadows the effects disappear. He has no durability against iron but his body will be resistant to steel. Silver is almost like his kryptonite as it can slowly drain him off his powers, and holy objects can burn him and severally hurt him. If he hasn't fed after two weeks then he will slip into a coma until his body senses fresh blood near by.
Abilities: very well experienced, excellent armed and unarmed combatant.
Weapons/Gadgets:
He has a [url=http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2012/103/d/3/longsword___1_by_qualcuno-d4w16ij.jpg]longsword[/url] that has been in his family for many generations and is magically enchanted to repair itself whenever it becomes broken, but it takes a while for the spell to be complete. It also can come to him when when he wills it if it is not in his hands.
History: Vladimir's life started 800 years ago in the more darker parts of Romania, he was born to a noble family and legend said that their clan's ancestor had been given a magic sword which assured them victory in every battle. It was unknown if the story was actually true but his family did have the sword and it was magical. Vlad's life was not one of luxury since in the time period that he grew up in, death was not far away. His home was plagued by monsters of many different kinds and he had to learn how to fight in order defeat them. When he was fifteen Vladimir was allowed to partake in his first great battle against scum that sought to take away what was his family's. While in battle, Vladimir was mortally wounded and that's when his sire a vampire lord known as Morrin came to his broken body. He would offer him a way out of death and give him the power to save his family's honor and home, but the price would be walking in the shadow of death and living a damned life as a creature of the night. 

He accepted the vampire's offer and was turned into one. He had saved his family from destruction but he was no longer welcomed by his kin now that he was an undead fiend and had to flee his family's lands to not be killed by vampire slayers. After that he spent fifty years with a vampire coven and saw many wars fought between the supernaturals of the old world. During an encounter with a cult of witches, Vladimir was cursed into a deathly coma and was placed in a coffin that was in the ruins of a castle inside of Transylvania. There he slept for many centuries until the spell wore off and he was awakened by the smell of fresh blood. That blood was the blood of tourists who had come to visit the castle. Vladimir was hungry and he needed to feed otherwise he would possibly die from going so long without feeding on fresh blood. He was very weak and could almost not catch any of the tourists as they screamed and ran away from his presence. He was unfamiliar with how strangely the people of the modern world dressed, and he did not know that he had been asleep for so many centuries. When all was explained, Vladimir went into hiding, not wanting to gain the intention of this modern world's vampire hunters and demon killers. It took a long time to adjust to the modern world and eventually he became the apprentice to the vampire known as Andrew Bennett. His mentor decided that he would be of use to Justice League by having him join the team of other sidekicks to help the League by going going covert missions.

Personality: Because he is still technically a newborn vampire, Vladimir is more aggressive and he has to focus very hard on not crossing the line when fighting his enemies. He also has a short temper and can easily be angered by people who annoy him. Do to him being a vampire, Vladimir has a blood lust and will become almost uncontrollable if he sees fresh blood especially blood coming out of fresh wounds. Despite his violent personality, Vladimir has a big sense of honor and is very good manners when he is not very angry, thanks to be born to a medieval noble family. He is very loyal and will stand by his friends and allies until the very end. He is very hard to get close to but once someone gets past his darker side, he has a good heart deep down even though it is no longer beating. Despite being a vampire and not being able to hold a crucifix, Vladimir is still very religious and devout follower of the Catholic faith. He has at times sought to pray to God while holding a crucifix despite the holy object burning his hands, and asks for forgiveness for being damned.
Friends: other vampires he has met with Andrew
Family: all dead, he may have some distant family living in the modern day but he doesn't know.
Crush/Relationship: he had one years before he was put into a coma by the witch's spell, but she was killed by vampire slayers, her name was Anna.
Other: He hates punks and people who insult the Catholic Church. He also despises vegetables and finds their scent to be revolting.
