YMMV / The Fell of Dark

• Complete Monster: Grigori Rasputin is an ambitious Con Man turned vampire who desires to bring forth Azazel into the world to create a dystopia where vampires will kill or enslave all of humanity. In order to gain followers, Rasputin preys on people with insecurities or vulnerabilities before twisting them into his disposable slaves and soldiers. Attacking a club that protagonist Auggie is partying in, Rasputin doesn't care about anyone caught in the crossfire and kidnaps and tortures Auggie's parents to draw him out. Intending to have all bow to him, Rasputin threatens to kill Auggie's parents with a blowtorch before ordering the deaths of everyone when things go wrong.
• Magnificent Bastard: Vivian Duclos was once an ambitious woman who refused to abide by the time's sexist standards and educated herself within a witch coven before opting to become a vampire. Revitalizing the vampires after her sire's death, Duclos resolves to craft a utopian world for humans and vampires alike, allying with Azazel to do so and showing ruthless cunning and guile at every turn. Crushing any who dare plot against her while showing a kind side to her subordinates, Duclous ultimately outplays Azazel when she realizes he means to betray her and ends the book with her grasp on power stronger than ever.
