    Mary Reid 

Mary Reid

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mary3.png

"I went from hospital to hospital, cemetery to cemetery, grave to grave... I've lifted every stone in London, searching for an end to the nightmare... And there you were in front of me, on a dark pier."
Species: Ekon
Age: 34

Jonathan's sister, she is killed by him during the first minute of the story. She returns halfway during the game as a vampire herself seeking revenge against Jonathan for unintentionally siring her.


  • Arc Villain: For Chapter 3.
  • Ax-Crazy: Vampirism drove her to madness and now she wants nothing more than to “reunite the entire Reid family in a red sea of eternal love” i.e. kill them all.
  • Boss Banter: Will reference all the choices Jonathan has made concerning the pillars of Whitechapel and the Docks up to that point.
  • Cain and Abel: Her newly-transformed brother, in an attempt to satiate his bloodlust unwittingly kills her at the beginning of the story. Then she rises as a vampire herself and starts targeting the people around Jonathan as revenge for turning her into a monster. All of this culminates in a boss battle.
  • Dark Action Girl: For a newborn vampire, Mary is exceedingly dangerous due to the fact she’s gorged herself on the blood of at least several humans. She also looks the part very appropriately.
  • Death Seeker: In the end, what she really wants is to be put out of her misery after becoming a vampire.
  • Flower Motifs: Roses. She leaves one — the same her mother had set on her coffin — in the mouth of her most recent victim, and can even summon patches of bloody flowers that detonate and inflict serious damage some seconds later.
  • Freeze-Frame Bonus: How she was turned. During the opening cutscene, Jonathan, after failing to save her, brings her body up and kisses her, in the process smearing some of the blood across her lips.
  • From Bad to Worse: Her husband died fighting in France during the War, her only child was taken by the Flu, and her brother disappeared without a trace while returning to England. And then the other stuff happened.
  • Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling: Implied. She fondly admits that Jonathan has always been the only one to "sway her to reason", regardless of circumstances.
  • I Hate You, Vampire Dad: Or in her case, vampire brother.
  • Heal Thyself: Once she’s down to two-thirds of her health bar, she will try to Embrace the Vicar to restore her health to full. The only way to stop her from doing this is to kill him yourself or stun her with multiple heavy attacks or an incapacitating skill.
  • Hypocrite: She will chew her brother out on being a vampire who feeds on others, but at the same time isn't against feeding on the Vicar she had kidnapped, or murdering her own mother just to spite Jonathan.
  • Improvised Weapon: She uses a makeshift wooden cross that marked her grave as her weapon during her boss fight.
  • Living MacGuffin: Playing with. Mary manages to posthumously serve this purpose by attracting the attention of Lord Redgrave for being such a powerful vampire which, in turn, establishes the purity of Jonathan’s lineage and advances the plot.
  • Love Makes You Dumb: A platonic and justified example. Mary, after losing her husband and baby, became utterly possessed with the notion of her brother coming home, so much so that she began leaving the house at night and scouring the most dangerous parts of London in search of him. Unsurprisingly, this leads to her untimely demise...if for a far more unexpected actual reason.
  • Matricide: Potentially. If Jonathan has Embraced more than three civilians before confronting her, she will drain Emelyne right before his eyes.
    Mary: Time to go, mother. Give my regards to my son.
  • Mercy Kill: While reconciling with Jonathan, she asks him to run the stake of the cross through her heart so she can die. He obliges.
  • Outliving One's Offspring: During her Motive Rant against her brother, she says that her infant son had succumbed to the flu.
  • Rise from Your Grave: She was buried in accordance with all mid-epidemic policies and when she reanimated, she had to dig a tunnel from her grave with teeth and nails.
  • Sacrificial Lamb: Dies in the first minute of the game. Subverted when it's revealed she rose as a vampire.
  • Serial Killer: Mary starts a string of vicious murders in order to attract Jonathan's attention.
  • Shout-Out: Mary's appearance seems to be modeled after Eva Green's character Vanessa Ives from Penny Dreadful, to a point where Mary's dress becomes nigh-identical to the one Vanessa wears in Season 1.
  • Tainted Veins: Features them after her transformation. Considering she’s been feeding that comes as no surprise.
  • Terrible Ticking: Right before she initiates combat, Mary comments on how she can’t stand hearing the voice of her brother whisper in her head on and on and wants to kill him to make it stop.
  • Tragic Monster: After being unintentionally sired by Jonathan, Mary becomes so horrified by her new condition that she goads him into fighting her, either in an attempt to get revenge or release.
  • Trauma Conga Line: Mary really got to hold the short end of the stick there. She loses her husband in the war, then her infant son passes away during the first outbreak of the epidemic. She then anxiously waits for her brother to return home, only for him to go missing. She starts scouring hospitals, cemeteries, and mass graves, and eventually finds him in one, only for him to spontaneously come back to life, murder her, and unintentionally turn her into a vampire. Finally, she gets driven mad and tries to hunt him down, potentially killing their own mother to make a point.
  • Vomit Indiscretion Shot: During the fight, she will sometimes throw up blood which changes into the previously mentioned explosive flowers.
  • Wake-Up Call Boss: She's the game first proper boss fight that's not just a King Mook (even Fergal is just a regular Vulkod with somewhat more health), and can be extremely tough, especially if you're low-level due to doing a no-murder run or haven't yet mastered the game's combat system yet.

    Doris Fletcher 

Doris Fletcher

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/doris1.png

Species: Human/Ichor
Mesmerize Level: Unknown
Age: Unknown

A renowned actress from West End who also runs an acting school. Posters for her various productions can be seen throughout the game.


  • Better to Die than Be Killed: She kills herself rather than let Jonathan do it after he defeats her, by dousing herself in lamp oil and setting herself aflame.
  • Body Horror: The entire left half of her body has mutated grotesquely, leaving her face hideously scarred and her arm swollen to massive proportions with no apparent skin attached.
  • Dying as Yourself: After Jonathan defeats her, she overcomes her deep hatred for the living and, having found peace, decides to take her own life.
  • Fan Disservice: Doris wears a revealing dress while being horribly mutated by the plague. It's also in this form that she hits on Jonathan.
  • Flunky Boss: During her boss fight, she'll periodically summon some Action Bomb Ill-formed Skals to attack Jonathan and keep him distracted.
  • Green-Eyed Monster: Has a brief moment of this after her defeat where she semi-playfully states that she hates Lady Ashbury for getting to Jonathan first.
  • Large Ham: Tends to speak in loud, exaggerated dialogue, even during what's supposed to be a more subdued moment. Which makes sense, considering she's a stage actress and is thus used to projecting her voice across massive spaces. And being completely bonkers by the time you meet her certainly doesn't hurt.
  • Plague Master: Like all Ichors, she spreads disease simply by existing and is compelled to spread it to as many people as possible.
  • Red Herring: We are led to believe that she is the Skal epidemic's Patient Zero and with her death, the disease can be contained. Except Doris isn't the source, her mother Harriet is.
  • That Man Is Dead: After her transformation she says Doris Fletcher is no more and becomes enraged when Jonathan tries to press the issue.
  • Unspoken Plan Guarantee: Examining posters around London will reveal that Doris has been planning one last grand event in December – during which she would have infected the rest of the city.
  • Unwitting Pawn: To the Red Queen. While Harriet willingly became a vessel for the Red Queen's wrath and was quite happy to spread plague and destruction of her own accord, Doris was apparently a genuinely kind and caring individual — with the exception of her hatred of her mother — prior to her infection and was simply compelled to spread the plague by the disease itself.
  • Walking Wasteland: Like all Ichors and Disasters, her sole purpose is to spread pestilence and destruction wherever she goes.
  • We Have Reserves: To the Red Queen. Doris was supposed to become the Disaster, but since she had shrugged off her rage and hate at the last moment (thus becoming useless to the Morrigan), her mother takes her place as the Disaster.

    Harriet Jones 

Harriet Jones

Species: Disaster

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/harriet1_0.png

One of the longest patients in Pembroke Hospital and the Red Queen's chosen vessel.


  • Abusive Parents: Implied to have been one to Doris Fletcher. Apparently, she was as bitter and hateful before her hospitalization as she is now and frequently took out her anger on her daughter.
  • Body Horror: She undergoes severe mutation as her transformation advances, with her left arm swelling in size. By the time she is fought, it has grown into an abhorrent appendage almost as large as her.
  • The Dragon: As a Disaster, she is a willing vessel of the Red Queen's anger at humanity and is the second to last boss fought before the final battle.
  • Evil Counterpart: To Jonathan, since they are both champions of two opposing vampire entities with different agendas: Harriet wants to punish mankind by spreading the plague on the Red Queen's orders, while Jonathan was sired specifically to guard Britain from her.
  • Faking the Dead: She is believed to have been killed by Sean Hampton after he became a Skal, but in fact, it's revealed she broke out of the hospital and faked her death to see if anyone would have cared.
  • Fan Disservice: As a Disaster Harriet, her breasts began to tear out from her outfit... Unfortunately, they are horribly mutated by the plague like the rest of her body.
  • From Nobody to Nightmare: Originally just a normal woman that grew resentful of her hardships in life, she is introduced as just an unassuming NPC to the player and who seemingly dies early into the storyline. Turns out she was chosen by the Big Bad to serve as her vessel and is the living embodiment of the plague.
  • Gossipy Hens: Because she had been hospitalized for so long, she knows the going-ons of the hospital better than any patient and even some nurses and doctors.
  • Jerkass: She is so grouchy and unpleasant that not even the nurses like her very much.
  • Hearing Voices: At one point, she mentions listening to "the shadows" which may be delusions from her mind. It's actually the Red Queen speaking to her.
  • The Heavy: She is ultimately only The Dragon to the Red Queen, but it is her plan and willing actions that began to awaken the ancient blood goddess to begin with.
  • Humanoid Abomination: As Disaster Harriet, she becomes horribly mutated by the plague in no small part due to serving as a host to an Eldritch Abomination.
  • Never Mess with Granny: An evil example of this trope, since she is old enough to have an adult daughter of her own and happens to be the living embodiment of the apocalypse.
  • Patient Zero: For the Skal infection, even though she doesn't look like it at first. Swansea experimented on her using Lady Ashbury's blood to cure the Spanish influenza. Harriet later passed the infection to her daughter Doris, who has been secretly visiting her and she later passed it to others.
  • Trick Boss: While Harriet is quite tough, especially since she can poison you and sap your health as you melee her, she's generally not as tough as Doris Fletcher was, due to lacking a sword and not summoning minions. However, after you defeat her you still have to contend with the Red Queen's avatar herself.
  • Walking Spoiler: She is actually the source of the Skal epidemic due to Dr. Swansea's experiments and being possessed by the Red Queen.
  • Walking Wasteland: She becomes a Disaster, a living embodiment of calamity and plague that spreads diseases wherever she walks.

    William Marshal 

William Marshal

Species: Ekon
Voiced By: Simon Furness

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/william1.png

Yes, that William Marshal, who turns out to be an ancient vampire and one of the oldest in Britain. His memory is still honored by the Ascalon Club, specially by its founder Lord Redgrave, who claims to have been sired by Sir William himself. Following a Great Purge half a century ago perpetrated by the Guard, Marshal has disappeared without a trace and nobody knows where he is. After the final boss, Jonathan searches for Elisabeth in her secret hideout and finds out he has taken exile in it, now a broken shadow of his former self. It's possible to have a conversation with him one last time before Elisabeth puts him out of his misery.


  • Aristocrats Are Evil: Subverted. He was a vampire, held the noble title of "Earl" and his followers went on to found the Ascalon Club, but he was more of a Hero with Bad Publicity.
  • Been There, Shaped History: The Great Fire of London was caused by him when he fought the previous Disaster that caused the Black Plague. He fought against her for several hours and in the end, he locked her up inside St. Paul's Cathedral and burned it down to make sure she was dead.
  • Boomerang Bigot: It seems from his journal that even after hundreds of years Marshal never completely realized he was a vampire himself, believing that he had been granted immortality by the archangel Michael (actually Myrddin Wyltt) to fight the Devil and his minions, including other vampires.
  • Elderly Immortal: By the time Jonathan meets him, he looks like a fragile old man that can barely stand up despite being a vampire himself. This is a combination of having been an old man when first visited by "Michael", and having abstained from drinking blood for centuries by the time Jonathan meets him.
  • Face Death with Dignity: Very composed when he is beheaded, noting he was never defeated, and only dies because he chooses.
  • Friendly Neighborhood Vampire: Supposedly was one while acting as Myrddin's champion, remembering that he only drank from the "throats of the unworthy".
  • Greater-Scope Paragon: Is looked up to by the Ascalon Club and vampires in general, while the Guard of Priwen considers him as the Greater-Scope Villain, since he was the only ancient vampire that managed to evade their Great Hunt. Even then he still qualifies as a Paragon within the narrative since he was Jonathan's predecessor as a vampire champion that saved England from a Disaster just like Jonathan, and it's revealed he discovered a partial cure for the Red Queen's Blood of Hate.
  • Hero with Bad Publicity: He is reviled by the Guard of Priwen for being a vampire and evading their great hunt. Little did they knew he was the last thing standing between Britain and the Morrigan from ravishing the land.
  • Historical Domain Character: William Marshal (1146-1219) was the 1st Earl of Pembroke that served under five different kings and considered the "greatest knight to have ever lived".
  • I Love You, Vampire Son: Elisabeth refers to him as "father" due to having sired her and he treats her as his own daughter.
  • Monster Knight: Both a famous knight and an extremely powerful vampire.
  • Off with His Head!: Elisabeth beheads him to put him out of his misery at the end of the game.
  • The Older Immortal: He is considered the oldest vampire in Britain, but is by no means the very first, since King Arthur at least precedes him.
  • Posthumous Character: He is presumed to have died a long time ago, but his memory is still honored by the Ascalon Club. Subverted, since the ending reveals he is still alive.
  • Reformed, but Not Tamed: Despite having fought on the side of good, Elisabeth can warn Jonathan that William is very much a ravenous vampire who only superficially appears to be the noble knight he once was; and William attempts to trick Jonathan into getting into striking distance despite Elisabeth telling him that Jonathan is her friend.
  • Religious Vampire: When asked about his maker Myrddin, William says that "God is his maker" and that he was given immortality by the archangel Michael, meaning that he must have kept his faith after all these centuries. Most tellingly, he also wears a cross around his neck which is impressive considering the vampire aversion to holy artifacts.
  • Retired Badass: Originally the greatest knight that ever lived and also sired by Myrddin (which would make him Jonathan's predecessor), he laid down his arms to live alone in a castle.
  • Sealed Good in a Can: Of the self-imposed variant. After succumbing to the blood of hate when he fought the Disaster in 1666, he chose to live in his castle partly to hold back his dark thirst and also to atone for having hurt Elisabeth. And it's by Heroic Willpower alone he remains in his place.
  • Villain with Good Publicity: In Priwen's perspective, since you can come across one of their documents telling their members to forget the image of the noble Knight in Shining Armor that Marshal supposedly was and in reality, he was a terrible vampire master. It's revealed to be the opposite.
  • Walking Spoiler: The ending reveals he is still alive and living in solitude on a fortress.

    King Arthur Pendragon 

King Arthur Pendragon

Voiced By: None
Species: Ekon

The legendary king of England himself. He is revered as a champion by the Guard of Priwen, who preserves his blood to be used as a last resort when fighting vampires. It's revealed by Myrddin in the epilogue that Arthur himself was a vampire champion just like William Marshal and Jonathan Reid, although one that failed in his quest.


  • Dramatic Irony: A figure revered by a group of fanatical vampire hunters is revealed to be one of the creatures they hunt and despise the most. What makes it dramatic is the fact the Guard still retain vials of his blood to be ingested by their members so they can fight vampires on equal level - they are vampire hunters drinking vampire's blood.
  • Failure Hero: He was unable to contain the Disaster during his lifetime which led to the destruction of Camelot and society being set back really hard to the point the time period he lived in is regarded as legendary.
  • Greater-Scope Paragon: As a true protector of England, he is considered the most important historical figure to the Guard of Priwen.
  • The Ghost: He never appears in the flesh, being merely discussed by other characters.
  • Posthumous Character: Long dead by the time the story takes place, and unlike William Marshal, there are no hints he is actually alive.
  • The Poorly Chosen One: Part of a long line of vampire knights sired to defend England from the Red Queen. Failed in his mission spectacularly.

    Myrddin Wyltt 

Myrddin Wyltt

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/myrddin1_0.png

Voiced By: Timothy Dawson
Species: Primordial Vampire

Jonathan's illusive sire. He is no normal vampire, but a being far older and so powerful that he isn't even corporeal.


  • A God I Am Not: Says this almost word for word when Jonathan asks him to divine his fate.
    Myrddin: How would I know? I am no god, and your fate is in your own hands.
  • Antagonistic Offspring: Decides to oppose his vindictive and bitter mother.
  • The Bard: He’s well-known amongst ancient and esoteric circles as the creature that had composed “The Dreams of the Red Queen,” a poem that foretells the cyclical awakening of his mother. Supposedly, he’s been appearing all over Great Britain and singing it for the British vampires to hear.
  • Beethoven Was an Alien Spy: He is heavily implied to be Merlin since one of his names (Myrddin Wyltt) is an alternate Welsh mythology figure associated with Merlin. Since the in-universe King Arthur was, in fact, a vampire sired by Myrddin, and Arthurian legends describe Merlin as a friend and adviser of Arthur, it certainly makes sense that he is, in fact, Merlin.
  • Big Good: For better or for worse, he sired Jonathan with the purpose of appeasing the Red Queen and saving London. The epilogue reveals he’s been doing this for many, many centuries.
  • Blue-and-Orange Morality:
    • While he has Britain's well-being in mind, he doesn't understand humans very well and has a problem communicating with Jonathan due to having a penchant for speaking in riddles, even though his words "could not have been more clearer" in his opinion.
    • He's also the one to introduce Jonathan to feeding, stating it's "a river [he] has to dry," but will become disconcerted and disgusted if his champion goes on a killing spree, nonetheless.
  • The Chooser of the One: He chose Jonathan to be his champion to stop the Disaster, just like he had done it with King Arthur, William Marshal, and many, many others.
  • Cryptic Conversation: He never gives straight answers and talks through enigmatic speeches much to Jonathan's annoyance.
  • Enigmatic Empowering Entity: For the better part of the game, we don't even know his name — the subtitles only refer to him as "Mysterious Entity". All we know is that he is an ethereal being that might not even be from this world. It's not until the endgame when his identity is revealed.
  • I Have Many Names: He has been referred to by so many different names it's all meaningless to him. Myrddin Wyltt is just the one he randomly chooses for Jonathan, and William Marshal refers to him as the Archangel Michael.
  • I Love You, Vampire Son: It doesn't matter how hostile Jonathan is towards him, Myrddin is unfailingly polite and kind towards his progeny and champion.
  • Invisible to Normals: This is the case for him. Every time he appears before Jonathan, only he can see and interact with Myrddin even though Myrddin’s physically manifesting himself in public. One document from the Brotherhood of St. Paul states that he only appears to vampires, and mortals have only been able to record his existence by second hand.
  • Horned Humanoid: Has antler-like horns, giving him a vaguely druidic appearance.
  • Humanoid Abomination: Outwardly, he is a humanoid figure made of blood. Jonathan expresses shock when he discovers that is not a way he manifests himself, but actually how he really looks. As he notes, he is not made of blood, he is blood.
  • It's All My Fault: Subverted. He admits that what happened to the Reid family (pain, loss, and suffering) is his fault. Nevertheless, he doesn't seem to regret it and maintains he did what he had to in order to stop the Red Queen.
  • Meaningful Name: Myrddin Wyllt is the Welsh name for Merlin (or rather a figure of Welsh folklore that eventually turned into Merlin).
  • Power Echoes: When he speaks, his voice subtly echoes all around him.
  • Stealth Hi/Bye: Operates like that. He’ll occasionally, in Jonathan’s own words, “appear in a gush of blood, prattle some riddles, and then vanish.”
  • Trickster Mentor: Whenever he appears before Jonathan, he gives advice in the form of riddles, which annoys Jonathan to no end.
  • Weakened by the Light: Unlike normal vampires that suffer grievous wounds if caught in sunlight, Myrddin comments that sunlight merely exhausts him.
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist: While Myrddin's goals are ultimately benevolent, he is practically detached from humanity to the point where he has no concerns about the consequences of his actions.
  • "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: When you talk to Myrddin one final time, he’ll Sequel Hook by invoking this trope and giving you a rundown of what, in his opinion, could happen to London and its citizens. He’ll echo Jonathan’s choices, too.
    • If Dawson was Charmed/Embraced: Lord Redgrave’s secret will be exposed sooner rather than later and the Ascalon Club could potentially dissolve.
    • If Dawson was Turned: the Ascalon Club is in an unenviable position, but because Dawson is there to keep it afloat, it won’t be long until it recovers and starts attracting new, influential Ekons.
    • If McCullum was spared: just like William Marshal, Jonathan is bound to be hunted down by the Guard of Priwen — they both did survive their second Great Hunt, after all.
    • If McCullum was turned: Jonathan has a spy amidst the Guard, and if he dares, he could shepherd McCullum from the shadows and thus protect himself and his immortal friends.
    • If Jonathan Embraced or let Dr. Swansea die: the Brotherhood of St. Paul Stole will continue to operate unimpeached and Jonathan has nothing to fear from it.
    • If Jonathan turned Dr. Swansea and Usher Talltree is alive: Dr. Swansea is most likely going to try to overthrow the Primate and suffer the consequences.
    • If Jonathan turned Dr. Swansea and Usher Talltree is dead/Embraced: Myrddin will praise Jonathan for committing something so audaciously bold and Dr. Swansea would still seek to become the new Primate. Nevertheless, Myrddin does suggest that killing Usher was a mistake.

    The Morrigan 

The Red Queen, the Morrigan

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/morrigan1_7.png

"Is this a dream, my child? Am I awake? Is this anger I feel? Is this wrath? I think it is! Oh, how infinitely, how intensely, how irredeemably are you all going to suffer now!"

Species: Primordial Vampire

The Morrigan, the Red Goddess. the Queen of Blood, and mother of all vampires, is and the source of the Blood of Hate that caused the Skal Plague. She is a malevolent being that in every few centuries, unleashes her wrath in form of calamities and plagues upon Britain, and every time her son Myrddin sires a vampire hero to stop her.


  • Ambiguous Situation: Discussed. As Myrddin points out, it’s not exactly known whether the Morrigan’s impending awakening brings about an epidemic or epidemics are what cause her to stir in her slumber.
  • Badass Boast: See her quote. After Harriet is killed, the Morrigan emerges with this speech.
  • Baritone of Strength: Her voice is rich and almost operatic, and she's the single most powerful creature in this universe.
  • Been There, Shaped History: She kickstarted the 1918 Skal Epidemic, and the Black Death with the Great Plague of London were also her doing.
  • Big Bad: The Red Queen is revealed to be the source of the Skal Epidemic in London; she's also been trying to wipe out the entire population of England on a fairly regular basis over the millennia. Dr. Swansea might have started the Skal plague, but she is the Blood of Hate that flows within all vampires, and England can only be saved by appeasing her.
  • Bloody Murder: With her avatar being composed of blood, naturally her attacks will qualify as this trope.
  • Blood Knight: Pun not intended, she delights in spreading pain and misery among mortals and immortals alike to punish them for their arrogance.
  • Dark Action Girl: She is a female Eldritch Abomination and according to Myrddin, she specifically picks only bitter and resentful women that have been wronged to make them into Disasters, since they represent the wrathful scorn she inflicts upon the world.
  • Eldritch Abomination: She’s a literal everlasting goddess that slumbers beneath Stonehenge and whose dreams cause widespread destruction. Hell, the moment she comes out of Harriet’s body, the entire room is flooded with blood signaling her avatar’s arrival. Later, Myrddin himself says that the Morrigan’s true nature is not known even to him.
  • Evil Diva: Her Blood of Hate manifests within vampires as a beautiful, haunting song that she herself hums non-stop.
  • Evil Matriarch: Even though she is Myrddin's mother, he is completely devoted to foiling her plans. Downplayed, in that they don't seem to have any real dislike towards each other, and in fact, she regards the battle of champions between them as a fun diversion.
  • Fighting a Shadow: Explicitly so; her health bar says that you are merely fighting her avatar and when defeated, she isn't even destroyed.
  • Flunky Boss: Downplayed. She can summon bloody minions that fight similarly to Skals to aid her in combat but they vanish after a few seconds.
  • Gaia's Vengeance: Possibly. Harriet refers to her as a “course of nature” which is bent on vengeance. Despite that, Myrddin treats her as a person who wishes nothing more than to smite humanity for its arrogance.
  • God Save Us from the Queen!: Being the queen of all vampirekind and an evil entity that lays waste to mankind on a regular basis.
  • Graceful Loser: Even while bearing in mind she and Myrddin have been at each other's throats for centuries, she's this. She courteously acknowledges defeat at Jonathan's hands, wishes everyone well, and disappears.
  • Hero Killer: She has slaughtered or otherwise decommissioned a number of former Champions, forcing Myrddin to sire more each time. It’s gotten so bad that Myrddin is not going to allow Jonathan to face the Disaster without proving he has the antidote to the Blood of Hate.
  • Horned Humanoid: Just like her son Myrddin, though hers make her look more demonic; which is very appropriate.
  • Large and in Charge: She easily towers over Jonathan and is the creator of all vampires.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: Is this to Jonathan. If you've refrained from feeding on anyone throughout the whole game, she'll only be Level 30, making her actually weaker than her host Harriet Jones (who’s a static Level 35), but the more people you've fed on, the more you've given into the Blood of Hate, the stronger she will be. At worst, she will hit a staggering Level 51, higher even than your own level cap of 50, and give you the fight of your life even with all the power you've gained.
  • Mother of a Thousand Young: She’s the mother of all in-game vampire strains and bloodlines.
  • One-Track-Minded Hunger: Her Blood of Hate essentially turns all infected vampires into feral animals that would do anything and kill anyone for their blood.
  • Power Echoes: Hers reverberates even more so than Myrddin's.
  • The Scourge of God: She desires to punish mankind for its inequities using calamities.
  • Turns Red: At a little over half health, she pulls out two oversized sickles, gains a faster, more aggressive moveset, and summons even more minions.
  • Sealed Evil in a Can: Is sleeping, and her son goes out of his way to make sure she remains sleeping. He even admits that the Disasters she's spawned are the equivalent to her dreaming, and that Jonathan should “pray that she never fully wake.”
  • She-Fu: Her melee combat moveset involves a lot of 360° spins, uppercuts, and kicks.
  • Unusual Euphemism: Like her Celtic canon counterpart, the Red Queen repeatedly mentions “reaping the harvest” across England.
  • Vampire Monarch: Though she barely qualifies as a vampire due to being a non-corporeal goddess, she is the source of vampirism and all vampires owe their existence to her.
  • We Will Meet Again: A rare non-malevolent example.
    Myrddin: Then go back to sleep, my Queen, and smile at us from your dreams. [...]
    Red Queen: Until the next time...
    Myrddin: Until the next time.
  • Worthy Opponent: She is one to Myrddin, admitting defeat gracefully when his champion overcomes her again and bearing him little spite for his defense of humanity.
