Birthday: October 19th
Illustrator: 犬月煙
- Cool Crown: His is a silver, halo-like one encasing two black skeletal hands that sometimes has a transparent black veil attached to it.
- Friendly Neighborhood Vampire: While he does initially play up the typical "vampiric mystique" early in his debut, that very quickly gives way to his true personality as someone who goes out of his way to make his streams a cozy place for anyone who stops by,
- Vampires Hate Garlic: Averted. He loves garlic, it's raw tomatoes he doesn't like.
- Vegetarian Vampire: He does not actually need to drink blood, and mostly just eats food like humans do.
Birthday: April 7th
Illustrator: Namakawa
- Cuddle Bug: Downplayed, but he does like to hug and kiss his friends when he gets the chance.
- Cuteness Proximity: Zander is particularly prone to this, especially when it comes to Rosco.
- Embarrassing Slide: His debut stream slideshow has one of him in a maid costume, which he hurriedly clicks past before moving on.
- Fantastic Arousal: The bases of his horns and tail, and most of his wing.
- Fictional Disability: He lost one wing in a fight and can no longer fly.
- Living Aphrodisiac: Subverted. He has aphrodisiac pheromones, it's an incubus thing... But they're tuned to affect demons and don't work very well on humans.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Peanut butter.
- Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Got quite a nasty shock upon leaving the Underworld when he learned of the existence of spiders. He despises them so much that he has them listed twice on his list of dislikes.

(Re)Birthday: July 8th
Illustrator: Shinotaro

Funny Moments
Trivia
- Keep Circulating the Tapes: As is standard practice with many VTuber agencies, all three talents that have graduated thus far have had all of the contents from their channels wiped completely.
- Promoted Fanboy: Rosco names Kyo Kaneko as one of his streaming influences and had the luck to have his model drawn by the same artist as him.
- What Could Have Been: Lucien's model was initially going to have red, blue, and purple moth attendants carrying his veil, but this ended up not being used for his final design.
YMMV
- Friendly Fandoms:
- Fans of Avallum are also likely to be fans of Nijisanji EN and/or holostars EN.
- Rosco's fans in particular have a lot of overlap with fans of Kyo Kaneko since they were both drawn by Shinotaro and are therefore "brothers".
- Zander has a good deal of fan overlap with Vox Akuma, as they're both flirtatious, nerdy British demons and thus appeal to the same crowd.
- Fans of Avallum are also likely to be fans of Nijisanji EN and/or holostars EN.
- Idiosyncratic Ship Naming:
- "Bloodlust" for Lucien and Zander (since they are a vampire and an incubus, respectively), which they came up with themselves before they had even debuted.
- "RichLust" or "GoldLust" for Gale and Zander since Gale is a pirate and see above for Zander.
- "YinYangz" for Cassian and Lucien, as their color schemes are predominantly white and black, respectively.
