Count Ristomaur Tiriac was born a hero, but his untimely death and rebirth as a vampire left him incapable of morality, ethics, or not murdering whoever was handy whenever he was hungry.

Nonetheless, between his desire to be reunited with his beloved fiancée in life or in death and his equally strong desire to escape the pains of Hell, the good Count has devoted his resources to finding a cure for vampirism, viewing his curse as a medical condition that needs treatment. His castle of Corvischor is not merely some gloomy fortress, but a laboratory in which the finest scientific gentlemen of all Avistan seek to develop a cure for Tiriac's affliction, so that they, too, can be released from death and the pains of Hell.

For Tiriac is already damned, is he not?

The stalk is withered dry my love
So will our hearts decay
So make yourself
Content my love
Till death calls you away
