Dracula and other Vampires
Read about 'Dracula' and other Vampires in Heirs of the Night.
Lord Dracula
The great ancestor of all bloodborn vampires, Dracula is a powerful destructive force that threatens our vampiric heirs - and humanity itself! He is weak when he arises, and desperately wants his rubies back to regain his power and supernatural abilities. He sends Tonka to spy on the Heirs and manipulates his Shadow vampire to help him fetch rubies that were lost in the clan wars and spread all over Europe. Although he strives for power, Lord Dracula is obsessed with the loss of his great love, Elisabetha, and will get her back, whatever the cost to vampire or human alike.
Tonka
A member of the聽Upiry clan, who were under Dracula's protection during the clan wars, Tonka still serves her master. Before Dracula was vanquished, he transformed the Upiry into bats and locked them inside his castle until he awoke. Now free of her prison, Tonka uses the stolen聽Lycana ruby to transform at will into her bat form and do Dracula's bidding, spying on the Heirs aboard the ship, the Elisabetha. She is ruthless in her desire to help Dracula regain the rubies and will not let the heirs stand in her way.
Umberto
A bloodborn vampire of clan聽Nosferas, Umberto is a teacher aboard the Elisabetha while the Heirs learn to share their powers.
