YMMV / The Coldest Girl in Coldtown

• Complete Monster: Lucien Moreau turned Gavriel into a vampire on a whim, as he did to his sister out of a twisted obsession, the horrific transformation causing her to commit suicide. Brought to trial by the vampire council for turning humans, Lucien manipulates Gavriel into taking the fall for him, nearly leading to his death, had the Spider not chosen to spare the latter, instead appointing him to destroy new vampires to stop their kind from spreading. Spitefully creating more new vampires, Lucien chooses victims who resemble Gavriel's deceased siblings, delighting in the torment destroying them causes him. Behind a massive spread of vampirism, Lucien's actions force vampires to live in the walled-in, titular "Coldtowns", apart from humanity to avoid all the death and destruction. Becoming the ruler of his own Coldtown, Lucien lures in innocent teenagers as a seemingly-friendly figure, throwing lavish parties to ensnare them before draining them of blood in his dungeons and in his parties and finally killing them after months of torment. When Gavriel tracks him down for revenge, Lucien feigns regret, promises him "vengeance" against the spider and murders his own loyal right-hand woman to fake friendship. Tricked by Gavriel, Lucien despicably tries to make his escape by taking Gavriel's Love Interest hostage, trying to save his own miserable life after his plan to rule over all vampires is shattered.
• Magnificent Bastard: Gavriel was made into a vampire as a teenager by the monstrous Lucian Moreau. Feeding on humans, Gavriel gained a taste for the guilty and became a prolific killer and was named personal assassin to the king of vampires, "The Spider". Captured and tortured by the Spider after a falling out, Gavriel kills his master to take his name and begins playing Lucian, convincing him to "hunt" Gavriel while masquerading as the Spider himself. Tricking Lucian into confessing his role in starting the vampire apocalypse, Gavriel utterly destroys his enemy, ending the work ruling vampirekind with his lover.
