[@Tyler], do you think it possible that Lord Drachall had several wives and/or "companions"? It certainly wouldnt be unheard of, lol.

I ask, because my character story idea revolved around Drachall having many children (lets say a couple of dozen) and he would have had more if several of the females had not miscarried. So my character was a "godsend" when finally birthed, but also the last and youngest of all the fledglings.

Yep, this seems both possible and likely. The Nosferyte houses are similar to mafia families, and they assert themselves through wealth and number.
