Character: Celestyne Vasile

Celestyne is the head of the Vasile Noble family. He is among one of the first vampire beings cursed in their pursuit for power. He has seen the world before humanity was forced to live in what is now the kingdom of Vilanar, before the Jacknife mountains protected civilization from the wild magics beyond their peaks.
A long life requires extended periods of rest, and during these memories can flit away like fleeting dreams. Because of this what has happened before Vilanar and the dark ages that followed its creation has passed into legend.
There are some things however that Celestyne will not let himself forget.
– The last time he slept a human king took power and carved away much of his land. This will be tolerated for now.
– His oldest friend and ally Azrail Rozalia has crossed him and his in a way that he shall never forgive. He will take this transgression back by drawing blood and collecting ash in kind.
It is these perceived wrongs that occupy Celestyne’s thoughts and twist his every decision.
He can be cruel, sadistic and judgemental but he has moments , every so often where the pain and anger that has ruled his life slips away to reveal rare moments of empathy and genuine love.
