Name: Ashram Marduk (he is called Hammurabi by the eldest vampires)
Race: vampire
Age: His true age is unknown but he is the only known ancient left among the vampires.
Looks: 6'7", long jet black hair, short triangular goatee, very broad shoulders, wears a black hoodless cloak, black pants, white ruffle shirt under a tight red vest. His sword remains hidden under his cloak. It is made of an unknown black metal and has the image of a long forgotten god etched on its blade in silver
Abilities: His strength and speed are unrivaled in the known demon world. His other senses and physical abilities are on par with the strongest of demons or vampires.
Personailty: Calculating, aggressive, intelligent, confident, ruthless.
History: His true origans are unknown but he can be linked back as far as the Babylonian empire. He came to Pernicious very shortly after it was first built. At first he was the lead general of the previous vampire ruler. Around 1860 though the previous ruler grew weak for unknown reasons. It was at that time that he became the ruler of the vampire nation. He took it upon himself to kill the former ruler to put him out of his misery. Since then he has slowly taken a more aggressive approach to his rule. He thoroughly believes vampires to be superior to all the other demon breeds and most especially to humans.
Allegiance: He is the vampire ruler.
Other: He is the oldest known vampire left but he assures others that he is certainly not the original.
Ashram Marduk {Hammurabi to the eldest of vampires(eldest being older than 2000)}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The last rays of sunlight crept slowly across the floor of his main chambers. Most vampires would be afraid to have the daylight reflected into their domain but not him. He embraced its presence. He counted the hours buy it.
When Ashram took over the first thing he did was have a series of mirrors rigged all the way from the surface so that the suns rays would reach a singular strip of his main chambers. His reasoning was so he could measure the length of the day so he could better prepare for the following night. Really though, he was just fascinated by the sunlight and the fear it instilled in his brethren. The closer he was to fear, the easier it was to overcome. The presence of sunlight also served as a wonderful tool of intimidation when dealing with subordinates.
Eventually he tired of his sungazing though, and he once again began reading the reports that had been brought before him earlier. Such mindless beuracratic nonsense but he could not foresake the day to day tolls of rulership.
"Tels'Teth, I believe another meeting with the mayor and police chief are in order. They have started becoming a little too efficient in the red sectors of Pernicious. It does not serve anyone well for one of their uninitiated patrolmen to stumble on one of the feeding clubs. Also, the medical examiner out of Pernicious General Hospital has begun raising too many questions. See that he is eliminated quietly and replaced with a suitable doctor. One more easily controlled. On a side note, you need to preper a speech about feeding zones and prey types and caution. We can't just have every vampire leaving everyone and anyone they decide to snack on anywhere they please. Anyone with a higher social standing than homeless simply must be disposed of properly," Ashram said plainly. He had no enthusiasm left for boring matters of state. His interests lie elsewhere at the moment.
"Will there be anything else Lord Marduk?" Tels'Teth replied tentatively.
"One more thing, yes. Have my hunters found anything out yet about the........the special prey?" Ashram replied carefully.
"No, sir. They are still searching for whatever it is you sent them after. As I understand it they are following some rumors among the lower demon communities but nothing major so far," Tels'Teth hesitantly answered back.
"Very well then. Let the generals know that we will not hold assembly tonight. I have not roamed the streets of Pernicious for quite some time. I think I shall have a stroll this evening. Those demon hunters need to be reminded of the error of their ways!" Ashram said with cold precision.
As Tels'Teth left Ashram got up from his seat of power and walked over to the last of the fading lights of day. He paused at the very edge, a mere inch from its dying warmth. He stretched his open palm out towards it but stopped a fraction short of its receding boundary.
"Soon," he whispered to himself. "Very soon now."
OOC: just so you know the medical examiner mentioned is the one that works in the same hospital as Asi and U_C's characters.
omewhat bitter, but very determined, seems to be cold at times but mostly is just a bit anti-social. Wants to help people because it was her dream back when she was human, but now she pretty much does it to keep a part of her humanity intact. She doesnt want to lose herself to the monstor shes become. Usually tries to keep her distance from people, fearing that theyll either find out what she is or shell lose control and start killing people. Has a very strong will.
ampire ruler. He has not respect for other demons. so he may hunt them down for a little reward money.
