Vampire
CharacterThe Vampire is one of the urban legends woven through Dandadan, a blood-drinking humanoid that hides among ordinary people. Classified alongside the series' other folklore-based threats, it survives by feeding on the humans it walks beside.
Appearance
In outward form the creature reads as entirely human, which is exactly what lets it move unnoticed through crowds and neighborhoods. Nothing about its shape gives away its true nature, allowing it to pass as just another face in the population.
Personality
What defines the being is its hunger rather than any stated temperament. It is understood to live among people specifically so it can draw blood from them, a drive that keeps it nourished and tethered to human society.
History
Within the franchise the Vampire sits in the same category of urban legends that fuel much of the supernatural conflict. Its real-world roots tie back to documented vampire panics: the captain of the Dragon Knights' second company, Blagojevic, shares a name with Petar Blagojevic, a historical figure at the center of one of the most thoroughly recorded vampire hysterias, blamed after his death for the deaths of nine fellow villagers.
