Vampires are among the most feared of all undead creatures. They feed on the living essence of creatures by drinking their blood.

These humanoid undead appear much as they did in life. However, their bodies are pale from being away from sunlight. The face of a vampire often has a feral, predatory look. Most vampires try to conceal their undead nature by assuming the guise of handsome aristocrats; which enables them to more easily feed upon an unsuspecting population of living humanoids.

Vampire lords are among the oldest of their kind.

These vampires have existed for hundreds – perhaps thousands – of years. They have vast sums of personal wealth, strongholds, and minions hidden on local and distant worlds.
