Vampires

    General 
  • As Long as It Sounds Foreign: Some vampires have pretty weird names.
  • Asskicking Leads to Leadership: Most of the vampires seem to follow those of higher rank mostly because the latter are stronger, showing that it is rare to find genuine loyalty between them. A good example is when Urd Geales, a Second Progenitor, arrives to Japan and removes Krul Tepes, a Third Progenitor, from the throne of Japan and none of Krul's followers opposed him and simply switched allegiances to the Second Progenitor, despite the fact they served Krul Tepes for years.
  • Council of Vampires: There are 20 ranks of Progenitors (First to Twentieth Progenitors) and the highest-ranked members make up the highest ruling body of the vampires - the Progenitor Council. Under normal circumstances, only Progenitors above the sixth rank are allowed to attend the Council meeting.
  • Daywalking Vampire: Downplayed. They're able to walk around during the day as long as they're wearing special rings that protect them from UV rays. If a vampire loses said ring while standing out in the sun, they will immediately catch fire. It doesn't actually kill them, but it is extremely painful.
  • Hellish Pupils: Vampires have slitted pupils in the anime. In the manga, they only get them when they're bloodthirsty, though.
  • Humans Are the Real Monsters: Believe humans to be the truly frightening ones, citing that humanity's greed and passion are why humans will ultimately be the ones who destroy the world, whereas all the vampires really care about is being able to eat on a regular basis.
  • I Hate You, Vampire Dad: Both inverted and played straight in the cases of some vampires. Once a vampire turns a human into one of them, their relationship becomes that of an adoptive parent and child, and from a few cases we can see either one-sided loathing such as Krul's hatred for the First Progenitor Shikama Doji for stealing her brother away, Saito's intent on killing the aforementioned First Progenitor (who was both their "dad"); or mutual loathing like between Ferid and Saito.
  • I Love You, Vampire Son: Some vampires have a fine relationship with their "parent". In the case of Krul and Mika, he eventually reaches an amiable point with her and considers her his savior while she similarly refers to him as her son. For Ferid and Crowley, the former turned the latter 800 years ago, not before killing all of his comrades, leaving Crowley with hatred at first, but they slowly got better with time, though they still sometimes threaten to kill the other. For the First Progenitor and Krul's brother Ashera a.k.a Asuramaru, the latter is the only child the former is interested in, while all of his other children are left behind.
  • Monster Progenitor: The entire vampire race is descended from the Progenitors that are obscenely powerful.
  • Older Than They Look:
    • Some vampires and progenitors, namely Krul Tepes, Lest Karr, Asuramaru and Kiseki-O (who were vampires before becoming demons), despite having lived for thousands of years, look about 13 or 14 years old at best. This is because they were turned at a young age. Ironically enough, these younger-looking vampires are among the strongest in the vampire society.
    • Once you are turned into a vampire and drink human blood, your aging stops, which is why most vampires don't look a day above 30 years old.
  • Our Vampires Are Different: Vampires in the Seraph of the End series are a rather traditional type.
    • Full-blooded vampires have pointy ears, red eyes, and produce no body heat. Oddly, some high-ranked female vampires appear to have horns.
    • Humans can be turned by drinking a Progenitor (the highest ranked vampires)'s blood, though this is frowned upon as the vampires don't like increasing their numbers. Until they drink human blood, these vampires will age and retain their normal eye color. Despite the fact that all vampires possess the ability to turn a human into a vampire, only the Progenitors are allowed to do so.
    • The transformation of a human into a vampire is an extraordinarily painful process. Once the transformation has happened, the individual would lose a large part of his or her human qualities, as they are being overshadowed by the thirst for blood. They would gradually lose their remaining humanity as time goes by. In fact, most vampires have no interest in anything (whether it's lust for power, wealth, sex, knowledge, etc) except for an overwhelming thirst for blood. Which is why vampires who care for other things (e.g. Ferid, Mika and Urd Geales) are considered strange by their peers. And this is also why almost all vampires have no problem in treating humans as livestock, as they are neither able to place importance on morality nor to feel any meaningful compassion for others.
    • As hemovores, they can only ingest blood and nothing else.
    • Exposure to UV light will create a toxin in their bodies, and vampires must wear protective gear to neutralize this effect.
    • Vampires have impressive healing abilities; they could reattach amputated limb and heal from the wounds that would be fatal to humans in mere seconds, unless if said injuries were inflicted by Cursed Gear. And unusually in a vampire story, they can survive decapitation, though the disembodied head wouldn't be able to control their body.
    • In battle, vampires rely on their natural abilities (e.g. Super-Strength, speed, etc) as well as special vampiric weapons. There are two classes of weapons: the second-class weapons and the stronger first-class weapons. First-class weapons are wielded by the Progenitors and stronger vampires and second-class weapons are mostly reserved for common vampires. These weapons are capable of enhancing vampiric natural abilities and projecting long-range attacks in exchange for draining the user's blood.
    • They have no sexual desire, though drinking blood, especially straight from a living human, is very pleasurable to them.
    • Their sense of pain has been dulled since they transformed into vampires.
  • Pride: If they berate humans for being greedy, then the humans have every right to see them as arrogant. Nearly all vampires are extremely proud, regard humans as mere livestock (despite the fact that all vampires were once humans), typically underestimate their human opponents or may refuse to work together with vampires of rival factions.
  • Rank Scales with Asskicking: The higher the rank of a vampire is, the stronger they are and the more authority they have.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: Every vampire who has drunk human blood have red eyes. Mika at first averted this due to only drinking Krul's blood and retaining his blue eyes, but then he plays this straight after drinking Yuu's blood.
  • Reincarnation: Turns out several of the Progenitors, such as Urd, Saitō, Krul and Lest, were Sika Madu's angel subjects in a past life millions of years before they were reborn as humans and turned into vampires.
  • Selective Obliviousness: Most of them enjoy berating humans for their actions and regard them merely as livestock, though they seem to forget that every vampire was once a human, in other words, all of them were born in the same race they view as lower lifeforms.
  • Sharp-Dressed Man: All of the male vampires wear elegant uniformed suits and thigh-highs in the case of some. The female vampires have just as fancy-looking dresses. In fact, the only vampires that don't dress nicely are the ones already captured as test subjects.
  • Stages of Monster Grief: If we consider that all vampires went through the same dilemma Mika and Crowley did, then this could be applied. Most vampires have already reached the Betrayal stage where they not only accepted their status but started to see themselves as superior than humans, who to them are mere livestock. Mika went through the Defiance stage right after Krul turned him into a vampire and is currently on the Acceptance stage. It is also implied, if we take Krul's scene with Saito into consideration, that some vampires, while acting they accepted their new status, secretly resent their sires for turning them into vampires.
  • Stronger with Age: A vampire's power is dependent upon age and lineage. Vampire nobles are stronger than the common vampires, especially the Progenitors, many of which have lived for hundreds (if not thousands) of years and possess monstrous strength that reflects their age. Even a user of Black Demon Cursed Gear is unable to defeat a lowest-ranking Progenitor in a one-on-one fight; Guren, an experienced Black Demon wielder, needed his squad to support him to kill a Nineteenth Progenitor and even then he was almost killed for 8 times. Moreover, a vampire inherits some of the strength of the Progenitor that turned him/her; accordingly, the progeny of a higher-ranked Progenitor is stronger than that of a lower-ranked Progenitor. The progeny of higher-ranked Progenitors have a chance to become Progenitors themselves, albeit far weaker than their makers. Second and Third Progenitors are explicitly confirmed to be turned by the First Progenitor himself. Seventh and Thirteenth Progenitors are known to be turned by Second and Seventh Progenitors, respectively.
  • Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: While vampires are all united and work together, they don't really see each other as comrades. Due to them losing most of their humanity and emotions, genuine friendship between vampires is very rare. When Crowley comes to consider the members of Shinoa's squad his friends, he states that he is surprised for having friends for the first time in centuries, which implies that he never considered neither Horn nor Chess his friends despite them spending so much time together and having a amiable relationship with each other. Till now, the only true friendships that have appeared have been between René and Lacus and Krul Tepes and Mika.
  • Tragic Monster: All vampires are this. For all their arrogance and mistreatment of humans, it should be reminded that most, if not all, didn't choose to become what they currently are. They were forced to drink the blood of other vampires, that itself is a very painful process, and struggled with the insatiable thirst to drink human blood, an act that not only makes their bodies stop from aging permanently but also triggers the slow and inevitable erasure of most of their emotions and humanity to the point of seeing humans, their former brethren as nothing more but livestock. It is implied that many vampires never got over with this and their smug and callous attitude is merely a façade.
  • Villain Has a Point: While the vampires are quite arrogant and most regard humans as mere livestock, their opinion about humans being the actual monsters is quite justified. While the vampires are satisfied enough in merely drinking blood, the humans are mostly driven by their greed and desires. For example, Kureto Hiragi has already said that he aims to take assert his dominance over the rest of humanity once the vampire threat is gone. Plus, the humans are not above performing clear horrific experiments on both vampires and humans (including children), and Mika himself says that the Imperial Demon Army is the worst regarding this matter.
  • Was Once a Man: All vampires, except the First, were humans originally.
  • Weakened by the Light: They're set on fire by daylight, but unlike most examples, this isn't enough to kill them, though it is extremely painful. However, they are able to avoid this with special gear.
  • Who Wants to Live Forever?: Most vampires are tired of living after centuries, but their bodies can't die naturally and destroying their bodies will only turn them into demons that seek nothing but desires.
  • Would Hurt a Child: Vampires habitually have no qualms with feeding on human children. If the children aren't kept as livestock, vampires might drain them of their blood with one bite.

Progenitors

    Urd Geales 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/urd_geales.png

A Second Progenitor in charge of Russia. He is the current leader of the Progenitor Council.


  • Alien Arts Are Appreciated: He has the humans under his rule perform dances and sing for him, unlike most vampires who solely see them as livestock and don't find value in such things.
  • Even Evil Has Standards:
    • Urd is quite merciless and more than willing to doll out punishment, but even he refuses to go as far as to turn them into Demons. He also doesn't kill Ferid and Crowley despite being effortlessly capable of it, giving them the chance to surrender and face judgment first.
    • Despite his stoic nature, even he hates Ferid for just how evil he is. Indeed, back then he had already been against Rigr turning him into a Vampire and right now despite Ferid being a high-ranking Progenitor, all that he shows for Ferid is begrudging tolerance rather than respect unlike his treatment of the others. When Ferid toys with Saito first rather than just killing him, Urd makes his displeasure clear and attacks him without hesitation. Choosing Saito over Ferid despite Saito's far greater level of threat makes it clear just how much he abhors Ferid.
  • Friendly Neighborhood Vampire: While he might see humans as livestock, he treats them considerably better than the rest of his kind, as children living in his domain can be seen running in the streets with joyful smiles.
  • Full-Name Basis: He refers to everyone else with their full name to show how strict and emotionless he is.
  • It's Personal: He has a personal reason to go after Saito, still resenting him for abandoning him to chase after the First.
  • Reasonable Authority Figure: While the First Progenitor and the other Second Progenitor left to fulfill their own agendas, Urd stayed to guide the rest of his kind and uphold their laws. He treats humans under his rule significantly better than others, letting children walk around free and happy. This also applies to the other progenitors under him, as he doesn't punish Lest for failing against Saito as there was no way he had a chance at all and he is even willing to spare Ferid and Crowley despite their acts. He also hears what Krul Tepes has to say and later pardons her.
  • The Stoic: Urd rarely shows emotion on his face.
  • Tranquil Fury: Lest Karr tells that, in matters concerning Saito, Urd gets furious quite often.
  • Worf Had the Flu: He falls victim into this when he tried to stop Rigr from leaving. In that fight, he is literately in an emotionally vulnerable and reckless state that subsequently lets Saito summarily trounce him and Saito even states that with Urd acting that way, it's easy to defeat him, despite also stating he was holding back whenever they sparred, with Urd also not taking it seriously. The second time around, even with Saito having acquired new abilities, Urd forces him to retreat and easily deflects anything Saito can throw at him.

    Saitō 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/saito_cover.png

Formerly a Second Progenitor of the vampires, he also served as an assassin in the Brotherhood of a Thousand Nights, later referred to as the Hyakuya Sect.


  • Antagonistic Offspring: Like most offspring of Sika Madu, Saito hates the First Progenitor, but he is the only that has been actively trying to kill him for the past centuries.
  • Big Bad Ensemble: He is one of the main villains of the story, alongside Shikama Dōji.
  • Chain Pain: His apparent favorite weapon are several chains that come out from his body that apparently are not limited in terms of length.
  • Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: Initially, he was thought to be a member of the Brotherhood of a Thousand Nights, but it was later revealed that he was in league with Mahiru all along, but Mahiru noted that he wouldn't have hesitated in the slightest to dispose her if she outlived her usefulness. Even before that, Saitō had abandoned his position in vampire society several hundred years ago.
  • Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette: He's a villainous vampire with extremely pale skin and black hair (although it's dyed).
  • Faux Affably Evil: He speaks in a calm and polite way, but given his manipulative personality, this is most likely just a façade.
  • Generation Xerox: In his previous life as the angel Paimon, he was King Sika Madu's right-hand man and wanted him to guide their people to the sun where they would find God's paradise, but Sika Madu's priorities started shifting because of his wish to protect his son Mikaela from divine punishment, causing Paimon to aim for Mikaela's life so Sika Madu would refocus on his duties. In the present, Saitō/Rigr is once again obsessed with making Sika Madu focus on his duties as the ruler of the vampire kind and aims to completely ruin Sika Madu's plan to resurrect Mikaela so he won't neglect him and the other vampires anymore.
  • The Gloves Come Off: He used to let Urd win their fights for fun, but the first time he got serious when he decided to chase after the First, he won brutally in the matter of moments.
  • Hide Your Otherness: He dyed his hair black, got plastic surgery, and wears eye contacts to hide his vampiric traits and make himself look like a normal Japanese man.
  • Losing Your Head: Decapitating him is not enough to kill him because his head is still connected to his body through chains.
  • Manipulative Bastard: He assisted Mahiru's betrayal against the Hīragi Family and used his connection with the Brotherhood of a Thousand Nights and the vampires to let her pursue the research on Cursed Gear and Seraph of the End, all the while pretending to be a loyal member of the Thousand Nights. Additionally, he attempted to convince Guren to join his and Mahiru's cause for unclear reasons. He supported the the Thousand Nights's attempt to conduct the experimentation on orphans with Seraph gene and has his own agenda about it.
  • Master of Illusion: He uses spellcraft to create very detailed and realistic illusions. He even manages to fool a couple of Progenitors with it.
  • Odd Name Out: Unlike the other vampires with Western-sounding names, Saito's name is Japanese, although it's just an alias. His real name is Rigr Stafford.
  • Only Known by Their Nickname: "Saitō" is the alias he currently goes by. Back when he was the Second Progenitor, he was named Rigr Stafford.
  • Parental Neglect: He abandoned Ferid after the latter proved not to be as good as he thought.
  • Play-Along Prisoner: While being captured wasn't part of his plan, he allowed himself to be put in a prison designed for progenitors. He easily frees himself once he gets bored.
  • Stalker without a Crush: After the First disappeared, Saitō spent the next millenia relentlessly tailing him because he couldn't accept that the First abandoned the vampires instead of guiding them to an eternal utopia.
  • Sympathy for the Devil: He sees Sika Madu as a monster who cursed him with immortality to then toss him away, but after he sees Sika Madu's memories and learns the depths of his excruciating suffering that lasted for millions of years, Saitō can't help to sympathize with Sika Madu to the point of shedding tears for him. Saitō also thinks the affection he had for Sika Madu as Paimon is still buried inside of him.

    Krul Tepes 

Voiced by: Aoi Yūki (Japanese), Monica Rial (English), Cristina Hernández (Latin American Spanish)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/krul_tepes_1.png

A Third Progenitor among the vampires and the Vampire Queen who controls most of Japan. She is the one who turned Mika into a vampire.


  • Adaptation Personality Change: Her anime version is more prone to lashing out while her manga version opts for the Tranquil Fury way.
  • Arch-Enemy: Both Lest Karr and Ferid are this to her, and they are the only people whom she treats with clear hostility.
  • Badass Adorable: Despite her small and doll-like appearance, she's a high-ranking vampire and way physically stronger than she looks.
  • Badass in Distress: In Chapter 41 (episode 24), she was ambushed by Crowley in the back and although she managed to tear his arm off and defeat him in few seconds, she was utterly unprepared for the second ambush from Ferid, who utilized Crowley as a distraction and knocked her out. Chapter 42 confirms she has been dethroned and imprisoned.
  • Berserk Button: Ferid threatening her with ratting her keeping the Hyakuya orphans alive out to the higher Progenitors is a huge sore spot for her. The time he leads Mika to the Council meeting with the intention of exposing her to them, she lashes out after the meeting and practically seethes in anger.
  • A Child Shall Lead Them: She rules over the vampires of Japan while having the body of a preteen girl.
  • Cleavage Window: Her dress has an opening in the middle of her chest, although she doesn't have much cleavage to show.
  • Cute Oversized Sleeves: She's a cute and young-looking vampire girl wearing an Elegant Gothic Lolita dress with loose black sleeves that covers her hands. Later on, she changes the dress for a hoodie with sleeves that are also big for her thin and small arms.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: Chapter 69 starts to explain her past. She and her brother Ashera, a.k.a Asuramaru, were once children of nobles. Then one day, she watched her hometown being burned to the ground and her mother being killed right in front of her by resentful people that hated nobles. She and her brother were beaten up by the mob and later sold as slaves.
  • Death Seeker: Chapter 114 reveals that she's willing to go along with Guren's plan to sacrifice all vampires in order to resurrect all humans that died simply because she wants to die.
  • A Dog Named "Perro": Krul's name derived from the Danish/Polish word "Król" — "King". This references her status as the Queen of the vampires.
  • Elegant Gothic Lolita: Her attire consists of a Little Black Dress with lots of frills and ribbons.
  • Emergency Transformation: After being sold into slavery and used as a sacrifice in a ritual, Krul was in the process of bleeding to death. Ashera/Asuramaru asked Sika Madu to turn Krul into a vampire in order to save her life.
  • Even Evil Has Loved Ones:
    • She deeply loved her older brother Ashera and was saddened to see him depart. It is possible she wants the Seraph because of him.
    • She might call Mika her pet, but she truly cares for him, even providing her blood so that he won't have to feed on humans. In Chapter 41 (Episode 24), she pays no attention to her blood being sucked by Ferid, instead only telling Mika to run and go to safety.
  • Evil Wears Black: Inverted. Unlike the other white-clad vampires, Krul's outfit is mostly black, setting her as a better-natured vampire who kept the Hyakuya orphans alive rather than kill them like she was ordered to and raised Mika as her son.
  • Fallen Princess: Krul was born as the daughter of a noble family, but the peasants rebelled against them and killed her parents. Krul was spared only to be sold as a slave.
  • Family Eye Resemblance: Before being turned into a vampire, she and her brother Ashera had dark blue eyes, which turned red after they became vampires.
  • Flowers of Femininity: Back when she was human, Krul wore flower decorations in her hair, as a symbol of her femininity and innocence.
  • Fun T-Shirt: Krul is forced to change out of her black dress after an incident where a drunk Shinoa and Mitsuba vomit all over her. From then on, she goes around wearing a hoodie with the phrase "Danger! Do Not Touch" and a shark on it.
  • Girlish Pigtails: Her twintails add to her childlike appearance.
  • Human Pincushion: Before she became a vampire, Krul almost died as a result of being stabbed with multiple swords.
  • Human Sacrifice: When she was a slave, Krul was bought by a woman who killed children and drank their blood as part of a ritual to become eternally beautiful. Ashera/Asuramaru arrived too late to save her and Sika Madu turned Krul into a vampire to revive her.
  • I Am a Monster: She calls herself and vampires in general as "blood-sucking and undying monsters."
  • I Hate You, Vampire Dad: For all her superficial vampire pride, she deep down resents the First Progenitor for turning her into one.
  • I Love You, Vampire Son: She has this relation with Mika, who is in turn pretty civil to her, and she's the only vampire he trusts and relies on.
  • Innocent Blue Eyes: She had blue eyes back when she was an innocent human child.
  • I Will Find You: Even after more than 1,000 years, she still hasn't given up on finding her brother Ashera, a.k.a Asuramaru. She eventually finds out her brother is inside Yuu.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Most of the time, she acts harsh and uncaring, but she does care about Mika. Also, while she is annoyed by the Shinoa's Squad's antics, Yuu's idiocy especially, she nonetheless aids them once she sees that Yuu cares about Mika as much as the latter does for him.
  • Kick Chick: In her fighting scenes, she tends to kick a lot or use her legs to restrain her opponents.
  • Little Miss Badass: Like Shinoa, she's short and petite, but perfectly capable of kicking ass. Further emphasized in her fight with Ferid in episode 4: she easily overpowers him, cuts off his arm and even threatens to decapitate him. And in Episode 15, just a slight grip of her hand is enough to make Mika kneel on his legs in pain.
  • Mama Bear: Harm Mika in front of her and heaven help you.
  • Minidress of Power: She's a high-ranking vampire wearing a Little Black Dress that only reaches her mid-thighs.
  • Mistress and Servant Boy: Played With. She forcibly turned Mika into her vampire offspring, called him her "pet" and made him completely dependent on her and her blood to survive. Despite this, they do have elements of a parent-child relationship, even if Krul isn't an exactly good mother figure.
  • Mouth To Mouth Force Feeding: After Ferid nearly killed him, Krul force fed Mika her blood mouth-to-mouth to save his life by transforming him into a vampire like her.
  • Named After Somebody Famous: Her surname is inspired by Vlad III Dracula, the Voivode of Wallachia who is more commonly known as Vlad the Impaler or Vlad Tepes.
  • No Sense of Personal Space: She sometimes hugs Mika and pats his head when he drinks from her directly, although he rarely does so.
  • Parental Substitute: She thinks of herself as Mika's mother figure, as she on one occasion even calls him her son while referring to herself as his "guardian", and he says that she practically raised him. Her allowing him to feed of her blood could be compared to a mother breastfeeding her child.
  • Parents as People: She genuinely thinks of Mika as her son. However, being vampirized at a young age and facing thousands of years of hardship afterward doesn't exactly make her a conventionally good parental figure. Krul can be quite harsh to Mika and was very strict when teaching him fighting skills. Despite everything, though, she's still a somewhat alright adoptive mother, especially compared to Mika's biological parents who tried to kill him.
  • Perpetual Frowner: Ever since being captured by Ferid, leading to her being tortured by sunlight and interrogated by Urd, she doesn't smile anymore. She gets better later, but she still frowns all the time.
  • Pet the Dog:
    • Despite thinking of Mika as her "self-centered brat" and "little pet", she is somewhat fond of him and is actually quite generous in giving him her blood. In Chapter 41 (Episode 24), she actually protected him from Crowley and ordered him to save himself as she is being drained by Ferid.
    • To a lesser extent, she's also somewhat alright with Yuu, as in Chapter 41 (Episode 24), she asks Mika not to let the "humans" - Kureto's men - get a hold of Yuu and take him with them.
  • Pint-Sized Powerhouse: She is two inches shorter than Shinoa, being (4'9"), but she is capable of kicking Ferid's ass in a straight fight. See also Little Miss Badass above.
  • Please, Don't Leave Me: About 1,000 years ago, she tearfully begged her brother Ashera to not leave her all alone to become a demon. He didn't listen to her and became Asuramaru.
  • Really 700 Years Old: She looks about twelve, but she's one of the oldest vampires alive, being at least over 1,000 years old.
  • The Rival: She and Lest Karr are in anything but good terms with each other. He seems eager to have her removed from the throne of Japan and place it under his rule.
  • Rose-Haired Sweetie: Flashbacks show the pink-haired Krul was a quite sweet and happy girl very long ago. In the present, it's subverted because the abandonment of her brother and centuries of living as a vampire caused her to lose her original innocence.
  • Showgirl Skirt: The skirt of her dress is ankle length at the back and mid-thigh length at the front, displaying her legs.
  • Signature Headgear: Her Girlish Pigtails are held up by a pair of black hairpieces that resemble bat wings, as an indication that she's a vampire.
  • Strong Family Resemblance: She looks a lot like her brother, the only difference are their hairstyle, hair color, and gender. The fact that her brother is quite girly-looking only helps.
  • Supernaturally Young Parent: Krul is a thousand-year-old vampire who was turned as a little girl. Because of this, she looks younger than her adopted son Mika who only recently stopped aging at the age of 16.
  • Surrounded by Idiots: Her overall thought after getting to know Shinoa's Squad is that they're a group of dumb kids who don't know how to respect a high-ranking vampire like herself.
  • This Means War!: At the end of "Vampire Mikaela", she declares "This is war!" in regard to the Japanese Imperial Demon Army.
  • Token Good Teammate: Despite being the vampire queen and on the enemies' side, she kept the Hyakuya kids alive, saved Mika and kept him as a surrogate son, kicked Ferid's ass and protected Mika when she could.
  • Tough Love: She turned her adopted son Mika into a vampire against his will and flashbacks show that she was not exactly a soft teacher while training him how to fight. Despite this, she still cares about him.
  • Tragic Bigot: She doesn't see humans in a condescendent way simply for having her emotions drained after becoming a vampire. When she was young, an angry mob of humans burned her home to the ground, murdered her mother right in front of her eyes, beat both her and her brother Ashera and then sold them as slaves.
  • Tsundere: Harsh type. She presents herself as haughty and imposing because that's how a 1000-year-old vampire queen is expected to act, but she has a soft spot for her adopted son Mika and her brother Ashera.
  • Unwanted Revival: As she was bleeding to death, Krul was at peace with just meeting her brother again before dying. However, Ashera/Asuramaru refused to let his sister die and asked Sika Madu to resurrect her as a vampire. Krul was horrified to be turned into a monster and her brother realized he cursed his sister with immortality.
  • Used to Be a Sweet Kid: When she was a young human girl, she was cheerful and upbeat. One thousand years later, she is anything but those two things.
  • Vague Age: Her human age at the time she was turned is currently unknown. She looks about almost thirteen at most, because she seemed to haven't even hit puberty at the time she's vampirized, but whether that's her exact age is unclear.
  • Vampire Lolita Archetype: She is the Third Progenitor and vampire queen of Japan. She has long pink hair, a young body, an elaborate Elegant Gothic Lolita dress, high power, and authority. Before she was turned into a vampire by the First Progenitor over 1,000 years ago, she was the daughter of a noble family until her parents were killed by an angry mob that then sold Krul and her brother to slavery. She's also the only vampire who shows benevolent traits and acts as a Parental Substitute towards one of the main characters.
  • Vampire Monarch: She's the vampire queen of Japan, ruling over the lesser vampires in the country.
  • Voluntary Vampire Victim: Since Mika refuses to drink human blood, Krul allows him to drink her blood whenever he needs to satiate his vampiric thirst.
  • White Is Pure: In flashbacks from 1,000 years ago, Krul wears a white dress because that was the time of her life when she was still innocent and happy to have her brother. In the present, she only wears a black gothic dress after she has lived as a vampire for centuries without her brother at her side.
  • You Killed My Father: After Yuu turns against the Shinoa Squad and Guren to protect Mika, he devours Asuramaru to absorb his power. In the aftermath, Krul is obviously pissed and wants to get back at Yuu for what he did to her brother.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/14134add071ab115.jpg

Another Third Progenitor among the vampires and the vampire who rules over Germany. He is one of the high ranking vampires to be a part of the Progenitor Council.


  • A Child Shall Lead Them: Despite having the body of a child, he managed to become the vampire king of Germany.
  • Long-Haired Pretty Boy: He's a cute-looking vampire boy with long hair styled into two braids that trail down his back.
  • Really 700 Years Old: He looks like a kid, but he's two centuries younger than Krul who is over a thousand years old.
  • The Rival: He and Krul Tepes are clearly not in good terms. Lest Karr has shown a desire to remove Krul from the throne of ruler of Japan and put it under his rule and he brags that he is stronger than her, despite being 200 years younger than her.
  • Vampire Monarch: The vampire ruler of Germany.
  • Whip Sword: His weapon is a rope spear with a sword's handle.

    Ky Luc 
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ky_luc_cover.png

A Fifth Progenitor among the vampires. He is one of the high ranking vampires to be a part of the Progenitor Council.

He comes to Japan from Europe as part of Urd Geales and Lest Karr's army. He is one of the high-ranking progenitors to be sired by the First Progenitor.


  • Bullying a Dragon: He thought he could mock Saito, due to the latter being in a prison designed for vampire progenitors, even daring him to free himself. And Saito did it.
  • Cool Sword: He uses a first-class vampire sword compact into a ring. It encases his forearm when he twirls it.
  • Mellow Fellow: Seems to possess a laid-back but cautious sort of attitude.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: His laid back demeanor drops when talking with Saito.
  • Ring of Power: His weapon is a ring that encases his forearm in a blood armor.

    Caek Sanorium 

A Fifth Progenitor among the vampires. He works directly under Saitō's command.

He was tasked to guide Guren to him, and fought Guren's squad to enable them to speak in private.


  • Affably Evil: Like other vampires, he has an apathetic demeanour but also seems polite, as he answered almost anything Guren wanted from him truthfully.

    Basteya Irclu 

A Sixth Progenitor among the vampires. They took part in the invasion of Shibuya and was tasked with initiating the plan to capture the first progenitor.


  • Ambiguous Gender: Their apperance and name make their gender hard to determine.

    Ferid Bathory 

Voiced by: Takahiro Sakurai (Japanese), Eric Vale (English), Fernando Rivas Villareal (Latin American Spanish)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ferid_bathory_8.png

A Seventh Progenitor among the vampires. He is the one who killed Yūichirō's family, thus sparking his desire for revenge against all vampires. He enjoys toying with Mika.


  • Agent Peacock: He's an effeminate and eccentric lunatic but also a ruthless fighter with few equals.
  • Ambiguously Bi: He claims to feel love for Krul but she knows he only loves her for her power. For that matter, Ferid seems to have distinctly rapey overtones whenever he is talking to/about Mika or when he is close to him. And it is arguable whether vampires can still retain their sexuality after their transformation.
  • Aristocrats Are Evil: Ferid is a vampire noble and one of the nastiest.
  • Bad Boss: He casually maims his vampire servants. He also kills his subordinate Crowley.
  • Beauty Is Bad: He's easily one of the prettiest guys in the series. It's a pity that he's such a terrible guy.
  • Cheshire Cat Grin: His default expression is a wide grin, especially when he's being wicked.
  • Classy Cravat: He's a vampire aristocrat and wears a cravat.
  • Combat Sadomasochist: He waxes poetically about how beautiful Krul is and how much he loves her even after she cuts his arm off and verbally expresses her contempt for him. He also takes great enjoyment over crushing people's spirits, drinking them to the point of death, and observing their distraught emotions when he torments them.
  • Cool Sword: He wields a first-class vampire backsword.
  • Death Seeker: Chapter 114 reveals that he's willing to go along with Guren's plan to sacrifice all vampires in order to resurrect all humans that died simply because he wants to die.
  • Depraved Bisexual: Ferid claims to be in love with Krul even after she cuts his arm off and has a self-professed love for both young girls and boys, like Mika in particular.
  • Dissonant Serenity: He kills people, including his own family with a serene smile.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: Literately, Ferid is so loathsome that even other vampires and villains hate him for the lows he is willing to sink into: Even his sidekick Crowley makes it clear he considers Ferid as being cruel compared to himself and is disgusted by how far he can go at times. When he is finally able to be punished, Lest Karr and Ky Luc both make it clear even they, some of the oldest vampires, find him disgusting. Indeed, Ferid is evil enough that not only Saito regrets turning him but even The Stoic Urd himself makes his disdain of him clear.
  • The Evil Prince: It turns out that he was second in line for a royal throne, though he found this lifestyle to be too strict for his taste, so he murdered his parents.
  • Expository Hairstyle Change: In Chapter 61, after being released from exposure torture, being in the sun for such an extended period of time singed off most of his hair and is now in a much shorter cut. It has mostly grown back by Chapter 64, however.
  • Famous Ancestor: Based on his surname, he is possibly related to the serial killer Elizabeth Bathory.
  • Faux Affably Evil: He comes across as polite and friendly but it's an act to cover up his general sadist tendencies.
  • For the Evulz: In Chapter 38 (Episode 23), he admits to Crowley he set up the Moon Demon Company assassination to amuse himself and show Crowley some fun entertainment.
  • Freudian Excuse: Implied. His father, Second Progenitor Saito abandoned him ages ago when he proved not to be what he expected. Chapter 91 shows that this is not the case: Ferid has always been the way he is long before he became a vampire.
  • Hated by All: No one likes Ferid as an individual. The other vampires only tolerate him because he is a high-ranking noble; the only two reasons that prevents Krul from killing him are because it would draw suspicion, plus he knows parts of her hidden agenda; Mika and Yuu have every reason to hate him as he lured them into a trap which led to the deaths of the other orphans and Mika being forced to turn into a vampire. Even his own father abandoned him and no longer cares for him.
  • Hate Sink: Probably the single most loathsome character in the series. His databook profile even says he gets off to being despised, and even some of his fellow vampires such as both Krul and Crowley all show disdain towards him.
  • I'm a Humanitarian: Ate Crowley after affirming that he had eaten Crowley's subordinates Horn Skuld and Chess Belle. Apparently ate a total of 440 vampires after eating Crowley, presumably all while alive and conscious, to gain greater powers.
  • It Amused Me: Seems to be the reason why he let Mika steal from him and try to escape. Recent chapters show that this is the main reason why he does the things he does.
  • Long-Haired Pretty Boy: Ferid is an effeminate-looking vampire who keeps his long silver hair in a ponytail.
  • Meaningful Name: It is revealed in the Vampire Mikaela light novels that he, along with Crowley, was once a "Mikaela". Apparently, it's a cursed name that has something to do with the origin of vampires.
  • The Mole: He's been aiding Mahiru when she possesses Guren.
  • Mole in Charge: After he takes over it takes a matter of months before the Japanese vampires are all but wiped out and the JIDA overruns the vampire capital of Sanguinem. He cheerfully dumps all the blame on Krul to the Progenitor Council before legging it.
  • Muscles Are Meaningless: He has a slender figure, but being a vampire, he's several times stronger than a regular human and can toss a grown man like Guren like a rag doll.
  • Named After Somebody Famous: He shares the same surname as the Hungarian noblewoman Elizabeth Báthory. Also counts as Names to Run Away from Really Fast because Elizabeth Báthory was an infamous Serial Killer who is believed to have bathed in her victim's blood.
  • Power is Sexy: He loves Krul's power and position rather than the actual individual.
  • Really Royalty Reveal: Chapter 91 reveals Ferid was a prince before being turned into a vampire.
  • Self-Made Orphan: He murdered both of his parents with a smile at a young age.
  • Shameless Fanservice Guy: He nonchalantly exhibits his naked body in front of Shinoa and Mitsuba, and seems amused by their panicked reactions.
  • Sibling Murder: Besides murdering his parents, he murdered his older brother as well.
  • Sissy Villain: He is a dangerous Depraved Bisexual vampire who is quite pretty with long hair in a ponytail and postures a lot.
  • Soft-Spoken Sadist: Just look at his speech to the Hyakuya orphans before he kill them off.
    Ferid: It seems like you still have the will to resist. Then allow me to give you another hope. Actually, that map is a genuine article. If you follow this path and run straight ahead, you'll able to return to the outside world. Once you're out, it won't be easy for me to pursue all of you... As you are caught between hope and despair, I wonder how you'll cry.
  • The Starscream: Implied to be plotting against Krul, and it's implied that killing the children form Mika and Yuu's orphanage was a part of this. He pulls this off in Chapter 41 (Episode 24), attacking Krul and taking her captive.
  • Stepford Smiler: Behind his cheeky and frivolous smiles, Ferid feels empty and has long grown tired of life after centuries of living aimlessly as a vampire and being discarded by the Progenitor who made him immortal.
  • Straw Nihilist: Ferid believes that life has no point whatsoever, explaining why he only does stuff that amuses him. Turns out he sees the world as such a dull and pointless place that he wants to end the cycle of reincarnation and extinguish all life from the world.
  • Sugary Malice: Even though he appears to always talk to Mika softly and kindly, his words are full of mockery.
  • Terms of Endangerment: He refers to Yuu and Mika with -chan attached to their names. Given his character, it comes across as disturbing. He also attaches "lovely" or "precious" to their names in Chapter 43 (depending on the translation). He also calls Guren "my lion" when he beats him up during the battle in Shinjuku.
  • Token Evil Teammate: When working with the Shinoa Squad and Guren Squad, Ferid is still as evil as ever and goes out of his way to attack innocent humans when he wants to eat.
  • The Trickster: Besides killing humans, his favorite hobby seems to be tricking people and making things more complicated than they need to be for them.
  • The Usurper: After killing his parents, he killed his older brother, who was first in line for the throne, to seize control over the kingdom and start a war with Eastern countries.
  • White Hair, Black Heart: He's the only silver-haired vampire in the series. He's also responsible for killing Yuu's and Mika's foster siblings, and that's just the start of his long list of villainy.
  • Who Wants to Live Forever?: He admits that living as long as he has can get pretty boring, though recently things have been picking up.
  • Wicked Cultured: He is graceful and refined; he wants to be a painter; his swordplay style is that of royalty (to quote the Vampire Michaela novel: “It was a style that Crowley had never seen before. The movements were extremely refined. Like some sort of ceremonial fencing taught to royalty.”); He also likes to wear his long hair in ribbons and enjoys drinking blood in a wine glass in his mansion.
  • Wild Card: He doesn't care about the war between Vampires and Humans and will aid both as a means to entertain himself.
  • The Worf Effect: Ferid and Crowley were feared by the Demon Army for being so strong, even being called 'monsters'. Shikama delivers them such a Curb-Stomp Battle that Ferid tells his allies to run for their lives.
  • Would Hurt a Child: He is the one who killed all the children from the Hyakuya orphanage.

    Crowley Eusford 

Voiced by: Kenichi Suzumura (Japanese), Austin Tindle (English), Luis Leonardo Suárez (Latin American Spanish)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/crowley_eusford_7.png

A Thirteenth Progenitor among vampires and a member of Seventh Progenitor Ferid Bathory's faction.


  • Affably Evil: He's friendly, upbeat, and fight-happy. He shares the vampire philosophy of treating humans as livestock, but he does it with a smile.
  • Almighty Janitor: While he is considered a Thirteenth Progenitor, he is actually a Seventh Progenitor (as Ferid secretly gave him Saito's blood instead of his own), being just slightly weaker than Ferid, making him the third strongest vampire in Japan.
  • Badass Boast: Gives one to Yuu in his Super Mode as he parries the latter's attacks using one hand only, with slight difficulty.
    Crowley: Well then... I just might have to use both hands.
  • The Big Guy: He is tall and muscular with broad shoulders.
  • Cool Sword: He wields a large first-class vampire sword that could pierce his palm to drink his blood to enhance his vampiric natural abilities and project long-range attack upon command.
  • Cruel and Unusual Death: Ferid devours Crowley's entire upper body in literally one bite.
  • Curb-Stomp Battle: Guren and his squad never stood a chance. The favor is quickly returned when Yu goes through a Traumatic Superpower Awakening moment after he witnesses Crowley biting and feeding on Shinoa. Even Crowley himself barely manages to dodge Yuu's attacks.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: The Vampire Michaela light novel series reveals that he was once a Knight Templar who fought in the 13th century Crusades, but the gruesome wars that were hypocritically waged in the name of God and his eventual transformation into a vampire destroyed any faith he had in God.
  • The Dragon: To Ferid, primarily due to a shared interest in avoiding boredom.
  • The Dreaded: Humans who encountered him and witnessed his abilities quickly note his name for being a monster.
  • Eaten Alive: The upper half of his body gets eaten by Ferid in Chapter 134.
  • Even Evil Has Standards:
    • He tells Yuu that after becoming a vampire he hasn't practically killed any human, or at least compared to when he was a human fighting in the Crusades.
    • He has a distaste for backstabbing, shown when Ferid suggested him to drink the blood of a Demon Army soldier, who they were currently allied with.
  • Evil Stole My Faith: His experiences during the Crusades in the 13th century destroyed his once fervent faith in God. Apparently, massacring each other in the name God, seeing the senseless deaths in the battlefield and feeling that God did not extend His help when needed are too much for him to keep his faith.
  • Face Death with Dignity: In Chapter 134, Ferid reveals to Crowley that he's going to kill him. Rather than trying to fight Ferid off or run away, Crowley smiles, accepts what's coming for him, and admits that his hundreds of years together with Ferid weren't that bad right before Ferid eats him alive.
  • Flash Step: Extremely fast to the point that he almost killed Shinoa were it not for Yuu's fast reflexes and casually appear behind the squad from a long distance.
  • Freudian Trio: Among his team, with Horn Skuld and Chess Belle, he is the Ego. He tends to act according to logic, but it is not unusual for him to play with his foes.
  • Hunk: His muscular build along with being a Bishōnen cements it.
  • Icy Blue Eyes: He used to have deep ocean blue eyes before becoming a vampire.
  • Lightning Bruiser: He is insanely fast for someone who hits like a tank.
  • Long-Haired Pretty Boy: Crowley is an effeminate looking vampire who keeps his long brown hair in a braid.
  • Meaningful Name: It is revealed in the Vampire Mikaela light novel that he, along with Ferid, was once a "Mikaela". Apparently, it's a cursed name that has something to do with the origin of vampires.
  • No-Sell: In all of his fights, he effortlessly blocks all of their attacks with a seemingly bored expression.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Crowley has always been known to always wear a smirks even during a fight. But even he lost his composure when Urd Geales, Lest Karr and Ky Luc show up to fight both him and Ferid.
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: In response to Yuu's rhetorical question about why he is not strong enough to defeat him, Crowley gives one to him.
    Crowley: That's easy. 'Cause you're just livestock. You humans eat cows and pigs. Do you live in fear of them revolting someday? No. In the end... No matter what you do, we will never fear you.
  • Spirited Competitor: He enjoys fighting any opponent.
  • Super-Strength: He's capable of destroying a car that was supposed to run him over with his bare hands. He also throws around a Colonel Badass and a Four-Star Badass like ragdolls.
  • Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: He really dislikes Ferid and working with him, since he killed all his comrades and forced him to drink the Second Progenitor's blood.
  • Villain Has a Point: While the Shinoa Squad feasts on meat, he tells Mika how ironic is it that while humans delight in devouring meat, they abhor vampires for drinking humans' blood.
  • Willfully Weak: For the supposed progeny of a Seventh Progenitor (Ferid), Crowley's unusually strong, managing to defeat an older Eleventh Progenitor while he's still a newborn vampire himself. He remarks in the novel how hard it is to hold himself back from killing the aforementioned Eleventh Progenitor instantly. In the 2nd volume of Vampire Mikaela light novel, it was revealed that he is turned into a vampire using Saitō's blood, a Second Progenitor (instead of Ferid's) and that his age is no less than 800 years old, which explains how he is so powerful, being slightly weaker than Ferid due to his comparatively younger age.
  • The Worf Effect: Ferid and Crowley were feared by the Demon Army for being so strong, even being called 'monsters'. Shikama delivers them such a Curb-Stomp Battle that Ferid tells his allies to run for their lives.
  • You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: In Chapter 134, Ferid kills Crowley as he has no further use of Crowley for his plans.

A Fifteenth Progenitor of the vampires and a member of Third Progenitor Lest Karr's faction.


  • Bad Boss: The moment he realized he was being sniped, he used his servant Esther's body to block the hits.
  • Berserk Button: Gets pissed off when Kimizuki toyed around with his amputated arm.
  • Better to Die than Be Killed: He kills himself before the wounds inflicted by the humans could kill him in the anime. In the manga, Narumi finishes him off after he's been cut in half.
  • Cool Sword: He wields a first-class vampire sword that could pierce his palm to drink his blood to enhance his vampiric natural abilities and project long-range attack upon command.
  • Faux Affably Evil: He seems to have a rather cordial relationship with his servant Esther, even offering him some of the blood he was drinking. However, he quickly uses him as a human shield to protect himself from long ranged attacks, which kills Esther, without any remorse.
  • Half the Man He Used to Be: Despite putting a decent fight against four Black Demon users (albeit not fighting them all at once), he is eventually lured into trap due to his hotheadedness and bisected by Yuu.
  • This Cannot Be!: Said this after he was bisected and was about to be finished off.

A Seventeenth Progenitor who serves Thirteenth Progenitor Crowley Eusford.


  • Adaptational Weapon Swap: In the manga, she wields a knight's lance. In the anime, she uses a whip instead.
  • Anime Hair: She has long blonde hair styled in two twin spirals that come over her shoulders.
  • Beauty Is Bad: Like her partner Chess, she is a beautiful and good-looking woman. Nonetheless, she is a vampire that feeds on humans' blood and see them as livestock.
  • Bodyguard Babes: Alongside Chess, she works as Crowley's bodyguard.
  • Cleavage Window: Her bodice is low cut and reveals her cleavage.
  • Even Evil Has Standards: While Horn seems to regard humans as mere livestock, she apparently is against killing them without need. A good example is that she doesn't like to see her partner Chess killing human hostages while drinking their blood and constantly tells her to stop before she kills the 'poor things'.
  • Foil: She is more serious and mature than her partner Chess, who is playful and immature.
  • Freudian Trio: She tends to act as the Superego as she is the most levelheaded and analytical of the trio.
  • Hero-Worshipper: Much like Chess, she holds Crowley in high regard.
  • Jousting Lance: Her weapon in the manga is a knight's lance.
  • Killed Offscreen: Chapter 134 reveals that she was killed offscreen by Ferid with him eating her alive.
  • Pragmatic Villainy: She berates Chess for killing hostages while drinking their blood, since said hostages are necessary for their plans.
  • Proper Lady: She likes to chastise Chess for her unladylike behavior, insisting that as a noble, she should have a better self-control during blood drinking.
  • Sexy Slit Dress: She wears a leg-slit dress that reveals her right leg nearly up to her thighs.
  • Those Two Girls: She and Chess Belle are always seen together.
  • Vitriolic Best Buds: With Chess. They usually bicker on free time, but they are always seen together and work very well as a team.

Another Seventeenth Progenitor who serves Thirteenth Progenitor Crowley Eusford.


  • Adaptational Weapon Swap: In the manga, she uses a whip as a weapon. In the anime, she uses a sword like most vampires.
  • Badass Adorable: She is not only cute but acts like a cheerful child, but she is still a Vampire Noble.
  • Beauty Is Bad: Like her partner Horn, she is a beautiful and good-looking woman. Nonetheless, she is a vampire that feeds on humans' blood and see them as livestock.
  • Bodyguard Babes: Alongside Horn, she works as Crowley's bodyguard.
  • Cleavage Window: Like Horn, her bodice is low cut and reveals her cleavage.
  • Clingy Jealous Girl: Downplayed. She and Horn seem quite fond of drinking Crowley's blood and seem to not mind sharing it, but Chess tends to act a little jealous when he offers Horn his blood.
  • Cute and Psycho: She could be seen as quite cute, even if not for being a vampire that has the habit of killing the humans she drinks from.
  • Foil: She is immature, playful and careless unlike her partner Horn.
  • Freudian Trio: She is the Id in her group. Unlike Crowley and Horn, she is far more reckless and careless.
  • Hero-Worshipper: Much like Horn, she seems to hold Crowley in high regard and adores him, but Chess is more vocal about it.
  • Horror Hunger: She has difficulty controlling her desire for blood, so she tends to kill the humans she drinks from.
  • Killed Offscreen: Chapter 134 reveals that she was killed offscreen by Ferid with him eating her alive.
  • Lesbian Vampire: She is a voluptuous female vampire who goes after Mitsuba during the battle in Shinjuku, draping herself over her body when sucking her blood.
  • Pint-Sized Powerhouse: She is only 155 cm or 4'11½ tall, which makes her only slightly taller than Shinoa. And she is considerably stronger than any human.
  • Those Two Girls: She and Horn Skuld are always seen together.
  • Vitriolic Best Buds: With Horn. They usually bicker on free time, but they are always seen together and work very well as a team.
  • Weak-Willed: When the Moon Demon Company conjures an illusion of lava to slow down Crowley, Horn and Chess, Horn has to keep reminding Chess that it is only an illusion. Chess, even when being fully aware of this, states that she still can feel the heat and pain, which makes Horn groan in frustration.
  • Womanchild: Her overall behavior on free time is basically this, which annoys her partner Horn.

  • Adaptational Weapon Swap: He wields a halberd in the manga, but in the anime, he wields a sword.
  • Affably Evil: He's a bad guy, but he's quite cheerful, constantly grins, loves socialising and cracks jokes. He also attempts to reach out to the cold, aloof Mika despite him shooting down any attempts of friendship.
  • Beauty Is Bad: With how pretty he is, it's a shame he's a bad guy.
