A Vampire Count is a powerful Vampire who has risen above their kin as a leader and champion, whilst being not quite as powerful or influential as a Vampire Lord.
Overview
Vampires who have reached the level of Count have grown, matured, and consolidated their powers and abilities. They are no longer the terror of mere towns and hamlets, nor are they content to prey on isolated individuals. Their influence is felt across the land, and they dominate mortals, Undead and several of their Vampire kin as well. A Vampire count is nothing like the wild, bestial creature he started out as; instead, he is a patient and meticulous hunter of men. He is also a man with a plan and the means to carry it out, and he fears no rag-tag group of adventurers who think they can stop him.[1]
Known Vampire Counts
- Rabe von Stahl, once a noble Knight of the Empire, he was a Blood Knight who led the undead forces during the Nemesis Crown Campaign.
- The Seneshals, were a small group of elite Blood Knights, each a mighty dark champion who served as the Vampire Lord, Merovech's personal bodyguard.
Notes
After the 5th Edition, most Vampire Counts were simply referred to as Vampires on the Tabletop, to avoid confusion with the new faction.[2]
