The vampire community has influence. Using powers of persuasion, vampire businessmen can earn large amounts of wealth, relatively easily. Sometimes, this is put to use. This blade is ceramic, altered in a lab to become one of the hardest blades on earth. A micro-tunnel system through the material allows it to retain it's original harness, while losing all fragility, becoming more sturdy than diamond, and far lighter, as it contains large amounts of air. Combined with a vampire's natural speed and strength, this blade cuts through steel like butter, known as the Crimson Blade for the many lives it always takes in battle.
Powers: Darren is an incredibly ancient vampire, growing in strength and speed. He is enormously fast and strong, able to easily lift cars off the ground and kill a man with a single punch. Furthermore, he can commune with wolves, cats and bats, and take on the aspects of a wolf during furious rages when he becomes an unstoppable killing machine, ignoring pain.
Furthermore, Darren has had his heart artifically removed from his body, placed deep within the vampire's lair. He calls this a Second Blooding, encouraging his followers to remove their hearts as well, rising beyond the weaknesses of typical vampires. Followers who undergo this gruesome procedure are his best warriors, known as Old-Blooded for their loyalty and skill. They are feared warriors and hard to kill, not stopping for anything.
Personality:As a traditionalist warrior, Darren dates back to the age of the sword. He's a prideful warrior, and he leads his brethren through his strength. Despising peace with the humans, Darren is in part responsible for the savagery of the vampires, leading groups of his kind to slaughter the inferior humans. He mercilessly slaughters all in his path, fighting like a demon, and even his fellow vampires fear his wrath.
