* HateSink: While he's a powerful fighter and a skilled tactician and sorcerer in combat, Mannfred has a bigger reputation for being a treacherous and slimy backstabber with no loyalty to anyone other than himself. Unlike Vlad and even Konrad, he's a pathetic coward who will gladly desert a losing battle and is prone to acting like a petulant brat whenever things aren't going his way. He's just as detestable as Konrad, only in a different way.

* {{Determinator}}: Vlad is one of the most determined and resilient vampires of the setting, having spent several years formulating his plans to dominate the Empire and pulling no stops when it came to whatever battles he participated in. This is what made him one of the most dangerous adversaries the Empire had to deal with as Vlad's commitment to his goals was so strong not even putting him down would deter them and his determination ensured that he would have won had it not been for a last-minute sabotage on Mannfred's part.

Little is known on the history of the Necrarch called Zacharias, but he is believed to have been a human necromancer who studied under the dreaded Dieter Helschnit before finding his way to the tower of Melkhior, one of the most powerful of all Necrachs and current keeper of one of the Nine Books of Nagash. Zacharias attempted to steal the book, but Melkhior awoke and caught the impertinent thief. Amused, Melkhior decided to turn Zacharias into a vampire rather than kill him. For years the initially-reluctant vampire studied under his mad master, keeping his unlife by continually impressing Melkhior with his keenness and his capacity to learn. Eventually, Melkhior returned from one of his mad fits, glutted on the blood of his former slaves, to discover that Zacharias had snuck into Melkhior's chamber and was busy reading the Book of Nagash. Forced to finally flee, Zacharias none the less escaped Melkhior's wrath, eventually creeping into the lair of a dragon, whom he drained of blood over a period of a month. Mounted atop the undead wyrm's back, he returned to Melkhior's lair and demolished it; Melkhior hasn't been seen since, with all his treasures and lore now belonging to Zacharias, the Everliving.

The first and greatest of the Blood Dragons. Once a great warrior of Lahmia and Neferata's champion, he had to be tricked into consuming her blood due to his unwillingness to become a vampire. He parted ways from Neferata's early due to his disgust with their ways and resentment over his condition, and traveled widely afterwards. He settled for a time in Strygos, the empire founded by Ushoran and his progeny, but returned to his wandering ways after the empire's destruction by a horde of Orcs.

* SuperiorSuccessor: [[PlayingWithATrope Played With]]; Compared to Vlad, Mannfred lacks his father's valor and list of achievements, to the extent that he dishonorably flees from any battle if he shows signs of losing. However, he is much more mentally sound and competent than Konrad ever was, having been able to use his manipulations to keep himself ahead of his goals and make sure he perseveres long enough to outlast the Empire. While prone to needlessly sadistic habits, Mannfred can restrain them and prioritize a greater goal while Konrad was defined by his obsession with bloody hedonism and killing others for his own sake.

* {{Sucksessor}}: While Konrad was a fearsome fighter and a credible threat to the Empire for years, he was never able to match up to the success and popularity his father had before. And where Vlad was a well-revered Count for his valor, good leadership, and planning, and for coming close to achieving his goals, Konrad was hated for his abusive leadership and lack of ambition in favor of needless bloodshed. While Vlad died in battle inspiring a legacy and reputation, Konrad died unceremoniously and largely forgotten in the future.
