  • Elder Vampire Physiology
  • Homo/Hominēs Lamia/Succo Dominus (Humans Only)
  • Master Vampire
  • Methuselah (World of Darkness)
  • Vampire Lord Physiology

Capabilities[]

The user either is or can transform into a alpha vampire, the most powerful form of vampire. Unlike lesser vampires, the vampire lord possesses inherent skill in dark magic and may command legions of undead minions/vampires.

Also, alpha vampire are known to have a certain resistance to sunlight for prolonged periods of time and have the fewest weaknesses; on top of that, even if they die, they are powerful enough to be reborn after a specific time period has past. This is because of a supernatural tether binding them to the physical plane as long as its not separated in certain possible ways. Furthermore, depending on the user, they may have a demonic nature, thus granting them access to the most unholy of powers.
