Asuramaru is a bloodthirsty demon who was originally a vampire. He enjoys drinking Yuichiro's blood and becomes more frivolous after Yui fed him for the first time. As a possession-type demon, it is described as the most nasty and aggressive. Like all demons, he manipulates and uses nightmares to take over his master's body. At the beginning of the series, he interrupts Yui's dreams, preventing him from getting a proper rest. In the end, he allows Yui to take his power so that he can take over his body in the future. After Yuichiro loosens his control over the demon and they fight for mastery of the body, Asuramaru shows compassion for Yui and submits to him and stops tormenting him with nightmares. However, he still considers humans to be vile and greedy creatures who are even worse than demons and vampires. He believes that they have no boundaries and they will destroy the world. Though he is fully aware of Yui's condition on the battlefield, the experiment conducted on him, Asuramaru does not reveal any of these secrets to his master. Asuramaru is more of a trusted enemy than a friend or ally. He considers angels to be disgusting creatures, who, in his opinion, are much worse than demons.

Asuramaru appears as an androgynous teenager with long purple hair. Bangs cover the left eye. As a "vampire-turned-demon", he has red eyes, fangs, and pointy ears. He wears a ribbon formed from two gold parallel stripes that correspond to the horns that penetrate his hair. His horns begin to grow as Yui loosens the curse holding him back. He wears a sleeveless dress unbuttoned backwards and with a collar around his neck. On the chest, the dress is black, and the rest is white. The dress diverges at the outside of the thigh, which makes it easier to move the legs. Asuramaru also wears black sleeves that are separated from the dress and reach the middle of the forearm. The other end of the sleeve is attached to the middle finger with a ring. The demon walks barefoot. Since Asuramaru exists in Yuichiro's mind, he can take on the image of any person from Yui's memory that he chooses. He often took the form of 12-year-old Michaela, Akane, and other orphans at the Hyakuya orphanage, or even Yuichiro's parents. He chooses the form that he thinks will help break Yui's will.

Asuramaru is a demonic weapon of the "Black Demon Series" type. It takes the form of a black katana with a green blade. When used, the blade gains a thick green aura. Yuichiro can summon Asuramaru to fully utilize its power to attack opponents. Asuramaru Abilities: Asura-Kannon. A special technique that materializes dozens of floating swords. Asura-Kannon: Thousand Blades. An advanced version of Asura-Kannon: a distorted space forms and expands around Asuramaru, from which thousands of homing swords emerge. Asura-Kannon: Ten Thousand Blades: Knot of Fate. When used, the original range of the distorted space expands, capable of covering an entire building, and thousands of swords emerge from the distorted space, rushing towards the opponent. This technique has enough destructive power to destroy the surrounding area within the distorted space. Other weapons: At the beginning of the story, Yuichiro Hyakuya uses enchanted gear—a weaker, mass-produced version of cursed gear. Typically, it's around the level of "Yaksha" or "Myo-Oh." It increases a normal person's abilities three to four times. There's also cursed gear (kijuu soubi)—weapons created by directly summoning a demon and sealing it within a sacred object (usually a weapon—swords, axes, or bows) using a demonic curse. Such weapons can increase a person's abilities sevenfold. Important: using cursed gear carries a significant risk—the user may become possessed by an inner demon, or Namanari. In such a case, standard Japanese Imperial Demon Army procedure is to immediately kill the rampaging user.

This is an elite unit of the Imperial Army, renowned for its success in exterminating vampires. The unit's commander is Guren Ichinose. The Moon Demon Squad is divided into teams of five or more, as a team with fewer members may be unable to cope with a single armed vampire. Notable team leaders include Guren Ichinose, Shinoa Hiiragi, Makoto Narumi, and Aiko Aihara. The soldiers wield cursed weapons and spells. The squad members achieve success through teamwork and consider each other family. This squad is tasked with eliminating common vampires and killing or capturing exceptional vampires. They also rescue humans when possible. The "Moon Demons" employ the following tactics: the vanguard blocks enemy attacks while the rearguard casts spells and attacks from medium and long range.

It was mentioned that Makoto Narumi supports Guren Ichinose's leadership. The Moon Demons consider him their only leader. They are dissatisfied with General Tenri Hiiragi's leadership not only because he fails to support the soldiers, but also because he belongs to the Hiiragi clan. 🌸Guren Ichinose Squad: Lieutenant Colonel Guren Ichinose Second Lieutenant Sayuri Hanayori Second Lieutenant Shigure Yukimi Colonel Mito Juzo Colonel Norito Goshi 🌸Shinoa Hiiragi's Squad: Sergeant Shinoa Hiiragi Second Lieutenant Mitsuba Sangu Special Private Yuichiro Hyakuya Special Private Shiho Kimizuki Special Private Yoichi Saotome 🌸Makoto Narumi Squad: Sergeant Makoto Narumi Shusaku Iwasaki Taro Kagiyama Yayoi Endo Rika Inoue Although Guren is a lieutenant colonel, he commands the higher-ranking lieutenants Mito and Norito. Guren Ichinose's team was formed before all the others. Guren, Sayuri, Shigure, Mito, and Norito formed the team at age 16, before the disaster.

In his incomplete seraph form, Yui's left eye darkens and bleeds, and a massive wing-like structure grows from the top of his left shoulder. As a full seraph, Yui has a single pair of irregularly shaped black wings (a result of Asuramaru attempting to prevent the transformation), both of his sclera are dark with golden irises, and the tips of his hair turn white. Yui's past form had six seraph wings with white feathers. During his first transformation, Yui becomes enraged and attempts to kill anyone nearby. He shows no interest in vampires and recognizes no one, but tells the vampire not to interfere. He also mutters that "sinners must die," and he must kill all sinners as he approaches Shinoa with his sword. Upon her embrace, Yui's partial seraph reacts with anger.

During his second transformation, under the influence of the seraph known as the Salt King, Yui curses corrupted humans and plans to turn them into "pillars of salt." He defends himself against Abaddon, a monster summoned by another seraph. He then moves to strike the monster before turning to the humans.

During the Dark Ages of Greece, the infant Yui, in the guise of a seraph, displays the same murderous nature as the present-day Yui, albeit to a more unbalanced degree. Wasting no time on slow progress or conversations about sinners, the past Yui lunges at Ashera in an attempt to kill him. Refusing to be calmed by words or restraints, Yui succumbs to the need to kill to the point of breaking free and smashing through doors to impale Ashera. He then flies into the sky, carrying Ashera aloft and raving madly about killing sinners.

After engaging them in battle with Guren, Yui caught on to creating spell tags for humans. Whether he has an innate ability to generate them or is familiar with them in other ways, the ring of light suspended around Yui, who floats in the air with streams of electricity emanating from his fingers, seems to help form such illusions. His two spell tag creations and more importantly, Miki's second personality can be created to act in a place far away from where he is.

Yuichiro Hyakuya was taken to the Hyakuya Orphanage after his parents attempted to kill him. At the orphanage, he met Mikaela Hyakuya and the other orphans who lived there. An apocalyptic event had occurred, killing off the adult population and causing vampires to emerge to gather the surviving children. Yui was sent to the underground vampire city, where he lived for the next four years. Unhappy with life there, Yui realized Mika had been giving his blood to the noble vampire Ferid Bathory. Further enraged, Yui told Akane Hyakuya that he had no family. His desire to leave would lead Mika to bring him a map to the city. Yui and the orphans' escape plan was successful until Ferid, upon leaving, exposed it as a cruel ruse and began murdering the orphans. After Mika sacrificed himself, Yui reluctantly abandoned him to escape, realizing they were his family. Guren Ichinose would find him outside and swear revenge on the vampires. Yuichiro is an excellent swordsman, personally trained by Guren. He is able to easily defeat Riders with both magical equipment and cursed blades, demonstrating his ability to effectively combat and destroy ordinary vampires. His speed and brutal strikes, delivered before they or others can react, have proven highly effective. Further testament to his skill is the fact that with a normal sword, he was able to match Shinoa's Shikama Doji, earning her admiration. He is also later able to hold his own in a sword duel with Guren, though not to the point of truly matching his skill, as Guren held back due to the fact that it was merely a training exercise. Yui was easily defeated by Kureto, a swordsman who, while slightly inferior, was still less experienced than Guren. However, he earned praise from Aoi Sangu for his swordsmanship skills, pressuring her when she blocked his attempt to kill Kureto.

Before the disaster, Yui did not seek anything as a child, surviving his parents' attempt to kill him. He was sent underground to live like cattle from which vampires took blood. This conversion and the way in which it was seen led Yui to set himself the goal of fighting against them. It was not only for oneself, but also for the sake of others. The loss of her family instilled in Yui an unwavering killing intent to kill every vampire. With this commitment, Yui became a skilled swordmaster. Dedicated to training and not intimidated by intense combat exercises, Yui focused only on the goal of revenge. Without giving in, it was a burning ambition that did not subside with time. To achieve this goal, Yui worked to obtain the funds for his only task. Joining the Moon Demon Squad was one of the paths, and Yui was eager to do so. Realizing what the cursed weapon was capable of, Yui simultaneously focused on obtaining one that could challenge the superiority of the vampires. Naïve as to what he was threatening, Yui saw Sinoa's cursed weapon in the form of a scythe and immediately asked her to hand the weapon over to him. Soon, Yui encountered the demon for the first time and tried to make a deal with it. For revenge, Yui successfully achieved his goal and joined the Moon Demon Squad, making a deal with the demon Asuramaru. With the means to actually fight vampires and with a reduced chance of being killed, Yui proceeded to kill them, often on the spot. When he was part of Sinoa's troop, Yuyi's goals expanded to protect his troop as well. His past experiences shaped his future desires now that he was close to humans again, and Yui applied his protective approach to others.

In his demonic form, Yui alternates between sincere deception and furious threats in order to achieve his goals. Attempts to convince Mika to free him include seducing him with his own blood and promising to run away together if only Mika frees him. If he is not freed from his shackles, Yui wants to kill and destroy everyone around him. He screams and rages, declaring that he will consume their souls. When Yui regains his human mind, he has no memory of his actions in the demonic state. Despite this, he seems completely unfazed by the loss of his humanity. Before he was provided with drugs to contain the demonic side, the squad notices that Yui has become more cold-blooded about everything. According to Asuramaru, he is able to think much more rationally without all these emotions. Though Yui could consider allying himself with vampires they couldn't defeat and needed information from, Yui is instantly consumed by murderous anger at the sight of something deeply disturbing. After taking the drugs, Yui's personality reverts to what he was before he became namanari. Using demonic power with horns and fangs, Yui is still able to maintain his sanity despite his murderous appearance. While Asuramaru was unaware of this, Yui took this opportunity to eliminate him as a threat. By fighting Guren, he was able to prevent his sword from being used as a shield. In his demonic state, Yui expressed his intention to kill Guren at all costs.

Unfamiliar, even alien surroundings are not an obstacle to Yui's worries. Although he was surprised to discover in his memories that a seraphim civilization existed in prehistoric times on Earth, after seeing this scene, his interest in research took over. Though he and Myka searched for where Michaela went, Yui was able to accomplish this by going to each building to find him where he was interested in exploring. During sparring, Yui also enjoys the fight. With the threat of having an explosive spell mark stuck to his head, Yui took the chance to kill someone along with him. He eagerly awaited Narumi's verdict on how well he and his squad handled the joint mission. Against a much stronger opponent, Yui happily asked for another round. Noticing that there were two enemies against him, Yui smirked adamantly, stating that he would definitely be able to kill both of them. Although he is not considered intelligent and, of course, his academic success is modest, Yui showed cunning in disguise. Deception seems instinctive to him, and Yui is resourceful enough to know when to apply it. Under the influence of Shikama Doji, Yui suggested to Asuramar that he still had the mind to attack One. After being defeated by Micah's demon while he was recalling his memories, Yui struck when Mika was absorbed by them, successfully attacking him. Compromised or not, Yui wins when he acts like he has been defeated. Appearing as a monstrous demon devoid of intelligence, he managed to convince Asuramar that he had regained consciousness.

Yui's main goal is not revenge, but to protect his new family and the other people he works with to avoid a repeat of past events. In Nagoya, Yui surprises the Narumi squad by remembering all their names and promising to protect them. Just as vampires don't remember human faces and think of them only as "humans" or "cattle," Yui sees vampires only as "vampires" or "bloodsuckers," without bothering to remember their names or faces. He doesn't even remember the name of his vampire victim in Nagoya. Though he is calmer with others and more willing to help, Yui's desire to defeat vampires of increasingly powerful ranks does not diminish. His desire to protect his family led him to partially become a demon (namanari) when he initiated a second rescue attempt, where the first attempt to save Guren from the vampire nobles had already failed. He is happy and seems content to tell Micah about how they are doing and that they have a family again.

In the Dark Ages of Greece, Yui lived for his own pleasure. He expresses curiosity about small or important things, such as wanting to see "Micaela". He enjoyed playing with toys and invited Ashera to take part as well. Unusually absent-minded, Yui pondered as he answered the questions put to him. Trying to find out something, Yui asked questions, and if they were true, the person answering would most likely not want to confirm them. After asking Shika Madu directly if he is a slave, Yui from the present will also have this trait when he asks Guren if he is being lied to. As for what Yui admires, he was animated as he watched Kimizuki hook up the truck and was eager to learn how to drive. Other than that, Yui shows a somewhat peculiar sense of humor, as shown when he teases Sinoa for her height. Overcoming the shock of what he saw, the fear also quickly disappeared when Yui began to admire the dinosaurs present in the memories.

Despite all of his anger, Yui expresses concern for others. He opposed revenge as the meaning of Yoichi's life, even though Yuichiro had the same motives. Even though it was clear that it was an illusion, Yui was concerned about Miki's appearance. Yui sympathizes with others who put their family first, such as when a civilian girl gave his squad false information because vampires are holding her family hostage, realizing why she deceived them, he tells the girl that she did the right thing to save her family. Yui feels a strong sense of guilt for leaving Mika to die, and from now on, he will have nightmares about Micah's death. He is overwhelmed with tears when Myka seems badly injured, and he withdraws into himself when thoughts return to him that he no longer wants to live. Though he has focused on surviving until he finds someone worth living for, Yui says that he can't move on. As Shinoa noted, after learning that Mika is alive, Yui's personality changes, and he becomes more mature. He makes more effort to be patient and calm when he makes friends. His desire to kill all vampires and his outlook immediately changes to saving Micah. As for Miki's vampirism, Yui was only worried that it was his fault that he had left him. Despite this, although his best friend is now a vampire, Yui still kills others without mercy or hesitation as he is still willing to deal with the threats. After the events in Shinjuku, Yui becomes closer to the members of his squad. He is ordered to join Kureto, and in response, he must first free Yoichi and Kimizuki, who were in captivity. Directly or indirectly, Yui seeks the help of his squad in getting Micah back. The claim that Myka will be useful to Guren is used as leverage if necessary, as he hails from the same orphanage as him. In addition, friendships and connections become more important to Yui. (calls Asuramaru a friend)

Up until his teenage years, Yui was moody and antisocial due to the tragedies that occurred in his childhood. As a child, he believed himself to be a demon that no one would love, and these views were largely shaped by the influence of his parents, who tried to kill him. At first, Yui wanted nothing to do with Mika and the other Hyakuya orphans when he was invited to be part of their family, as he already had experience of what family was to him. After spending time with the others and when Mika assigned him to look after the children with him and Akane, he took on the role of a distant but kind-hearted older brother. After losing them, Yui once again became a sullen, aloof rebel, seeking revenge on the vampires who killed his family for another four years and resisting making connections with others. Eventually, Yui opens up and becomes a short-tempered young man with a kind heart. This is evident when his fearless but somewhat reckless actions are shown when he is attacked by the Horseman. He had evidently ignored orders more than once. When reports of an escaped vampire surfaced, Yui ignored the warnings and actively searched for him and engaged in battle using a regular sword. Not particularly diligent and prone to haste, Yui is often called an idiot by those who know him. Being a very narrow-minded person, his only goal was to destroy all vampires because of what they had done to his orphanage family, especially Micah. He will accept any challenge to achieve his goal. Ignoring the danger threatening him, Yuichiro snatched an axe-like demonic weapon from a young man possessed by a demon.

🌿Yuichiro has black, slightly disheveled medium-length hair. He has sharp green eyes hidden under thick eyebrows. His eyes are large compared to most other men. Like cattle, he wears a standard white uniform with short sleeves and a hood. When he is sent to school, he wears a black collar with turquoise trim. The collar and top buttons of the jacket are unbuttoned, and a white shirt is visible underneath. He wielded a standard katana until he was promoted to the Moon Demon squad. As a private, Yui wears the standard YAIDA uniform. It consists of a long-sleeved black coat with light green details, including shoulder epaulettes, a brown shoulder belt running diagonally over the right shoulder, and two rows of gold buttons on the front. Along with this, he wears a pair of white gloves and a white belt with a gold plate on the belt. He also wears uniform pants and black boots worn over leggings. Yui holds a katana on the left side of his thigh. He can sometimes be seen wearing a hat and also often wearing a cape. 🩸Naminari: Yui's eyes turn scarlet, two black horns sprout from his head, his teeth become pointed, and maroon marks appear on his face. In the most extreme cases, his hand may seem inhuman for a short time.

🪽About Yuichiro: Height: 170 cm (5'7) Weight: 59 kg (130 lbs) Birthday: October 16, 2004 Blood type: A Nationality: Japanese/Roman/Greek Age: 16 years old.

1 set of clothing consists of white gloves, white pants tucked into black boots, a black shirt and a white uniform with black inserts on the sleeves. The over-the-knee boots reach almost to the knee, and on the outside of each of them there are several gold buttons of a round shape. The same buttons are inserted along the entire height of the uniform and on the sleeves. The uniform itself is tied with a black belt in the middle of the waist, and its skirt has black triangular inserts. The collar of the uniform is also black and closed with a gold round brooch. On top of all this, he wears a white two-layered cloak. Its first layer in length reaches just below the knee and is completely behind the back. The second layer lies on top of the first and completely covers the shoulders and chest, reaching the elbow in length. The two ends of the canvas are connected to each other by several ties and a gold decoration at the level of the collarbones, passing into a hood, two ribbons are thrown forward. On the side of the left hand, a plate is attached to the cloak to protect the ring from ultraviolet radiation. Set 2 is a lighter version. It consists of tight white pants, with a black wide belt at hip level, high boots reaching mid-thigh, a white tunic with black inserts in the sleeves, and a black belt just below the waist. On top is a short, single-layered cloak attached to the shoulders with a layer of black cloth. A ring guard is attached to the left shoulder. Each set of clothes has its own weapon. The first is characterized by a typical vampire sword, the second by a black halberd.

As a low-ranking vampire, he is seven times stronger than a normal human. He possesses the standard set of vampire attributes: immortality, enhanced strength, agility, and speed, as well as heightened vision, smell, and hearing. Like all other vampires of his rank, he is inferior in all these attributes to the Founders and nobles. For example, Lacus was unable to hear Michaela's words or the heartbeat of a human (Aiko Aihara) in close proximity to him. Depending on the timeline, Lacus wields different weapons.

1. Sword: Vampires use the standard second-class vampire sword, a long type with a single-edged straight blade. The hilt has a guard on only one side, which transitions into a thick, long bow. The main part of the sword's hilt is red, while the bow is completely black. The sword had no special features, which gives reason to consider it second-class, in addition, the same sword was shown to be wielded by other vampires - Renee Simm and other unknown ordinary vampires.
2. Halberd: Vampires wield a long black halberd (almost one and a half times their height). Its tip resembles a pointed cross, and one of the forks has a rather large, concave axe blade. It is teardrop-shaped and tapers toward the bottom. The center of the cross has a semicircular inlay with cyclically arranged holes, similar to the one on Mikaela's sword. The sword and halberd are similar in style, harking back to medieval bladed weapons.

Tremendous power - even a simple vampire can easily lift an adult with one hand. High speed - the speed of vampires is many times higher than the speed of a human. High Agility - Vampires can jump high and far, and their agility is far superior to that of humans. Emotion Control – Vampires can control and manipulate their emotions by turning them on and off. For example, they don't feel guilty for killing people. Slow Fall - Jumping from a height, the vampire moves smoothly, almost levitating, allowing it to land without injury. Heightened senses - all the feelings of a vampire are much stronger than those of a human. They can easily navigate in the dark, can hear whispered conversations, and smell blood from a long distance. Immortality - Vampires do not die and look the same as the moment they die as a human. They are not afraid of diseases, viruses and infections. Regeneration - Vampires can heal themselves from any physical injury. This ability does not work against injuries inflicted by Demon Weapons. High Survivability - Vampires can be seriously injured without losing their powers.

Krul the Impaler was turned by the First Vampire and is the Third Founder. This status gives it enormous physical and political power. Being a vampire, Krul has immortality, immutability of appearance, high indicators of strength, agility, speed, as well as a heightened sense of sight, hearing, and smell. Krul's stats are many times higher than those of a human, just as she surpasses the stats of all vampires and Founders whose status is below the Third. Only the power of the First, Urda, Rig, Lest (partially) and Ashura (possibly) surpasses the power of Krul the Impaler. As the Third Founder, Krul has political power over most of the Japanese islands and has the right to attend the Founders' Council. Also, due to her status, she has the right to turn people into vampires. Vampires turned by Krul's blood have the potential of an Eighth to Ninth Founder. Only two vampires are known to have been turned by Krul, Michaela Hyakuya and Mahiru Hiiragi. Krul has a weapon with a bat form and the name Arcane. 🌿She is about 3000 years old Height: 145 cm Born on October 27 Nationality: Roman or Greek

Like all other vampires, she views humans as nothing more than cattle. He sees them, as a rule, in the form of infinitely greedy creatures who will do everything for their own benefit. When Ferid Bathory killed orphans from the Hyakuya orphanage, she carefully hid them in Sanguinem. Enraged because he mortally wounded one of the Seraphim and allowed another to escape. She never mentions a word about orphans and does not show interest in them. He saves Michaela's life against his will, turning him into a vampire. He refuses to drink human blood, so she gives her blood to him, causing him to become dependent on her. Even so, she is the only vampire who shows kindness to him, and there are a few moments when she hugs him or treats him calmly. After developing a close bond with Mika, she shows concern for Yuichiro Hakuya. However, it is unclear if because of her close bond with Micah and concern for him, or because she wants to use the Seraph for her own purposes. Krul holds many secrets, including what she knows from Seraphim of the End, and she lies to her progenitor's advice about her criminal activities. Like most vampires, she is proud. As the third progenitor and queen of Japan, she has reason to be powerful. When her third progenitor, Lest Carr, challenges her position as the ruler of Japan, she gets angry and claims that she is never wrong. She is temperamental when she is calm and does not hesitate to remind her applicant of his place. However, Ferid Bathory blackmails her into restraining her temper and not letting herself kill him. She is the only character in the series shown so far who seems to have enjoyed the bite.

The Third Progenitress of all vampire society. The object of Ferid's sighs, as well as a lover of small children. Krul resembles a teenage girl: She has long pink hair, partially tied into two black elastic bands that resemble bat wings. It also has what appears to be a kind of horns. Like other vampires, she has red eyes, fangs, and pointy ears. She wears a short black dress with white ruffles and the same style of ruffle over her skirt. At chest level, there is a neckline, and the straps of the upper one intersect and wrap around the neck. The top has an open back. Pink stripes run from top to bottom on both sides of the front and end with bows. Five golden buttons are embroidered between pink stripes. On the neck there is a white lace collar that reaches the collarbone. The collar is tied with a pink bow on the right. It has a small gold ornament and two long pink ribbons. She wears separate, loose black sleeves on her shoulders, which become wider towards the end. They have three gold buttons on their cuffs. White lace ruffles adorn the tops of the sleeves, the same ones dangle under the sleeves. Underneath the sleeves, she wears another black sleeve that reaches her knuckles. Krul wears tall black boots that are initially below his knees, but they are cut up after attacking Ferid in Chapter 5. After the fight, they reach the middle of the thigh with a slit below the knee. High golden stilettos. In some cases, he wears a black cloak. The inner lining is pink. When she first appears, a black jacket is also present. She is often seen with a one-eyed bat named Arukanu on her shoulder, but her abilities are not yet visible. A bat the size of her fist. She has a pair of small horns on her head and a slender devil's tail about twice the length of her body. Small wings and miniature legs. Anime: In the anime, Krul's hair is pinker and her clothes are darker. In addition, her heels are often shown as flat shoes.

However, later, during a conversation with Yuichiro and Sinoa in more peaceful circumstances, he challenged the latter's claim of being bloodthirsty, saying that humans kill far more people than anyone else, and that as a vampire, compared to human life, he has killed almost no one.

Crowley is a calm and patient vampire who is not averse to fighting any opponent. In battle, he usually keeps a pleasant smile on his face. However, unlike his human past, he is now less heroic and willing to back down if necessary. A well-known fact of the Seraphim universe: over the centuries, the feelings and emotions of vampires are greatly blunted or completely disappear, except for the thirst for blood. But still, a little interest in life, battles and the instinct of self-preservation are present. For example, when Ferid says that he "doesn't care if he's alive or dead," Crowley only looks back softly and disappointed. When he responds to the latter's next adventure, he directly says that he does it for reasons of interest and the hope of dispelling his boredom. During the fight, he can sometimes show emotions when/or something delights and surprises him, feeling, as if childish curiosity or delight. In critical and dangerous situations, he shows fear. He is quite intelligent and attentive, demonstrates an understanding of the essence of many things. For example, after noticing how quickly humans evolve, he concludes that this would not be possible without help, which could mean that there is a traitor among vampires. He shared the idea with Horn and Chess, who were immediately warned about the features of human weapons after testing them. He recognizes the capabilities of people, calling them "very capable". For example, in one of the arcs in Nagoya, when he learned the power of the illusion, Goshi states that it was "impressive" since a man-made illusion can even affect the brain of an aristocratic vampire. The ability to analyze, weigh the situation and be responsible also help him cooperate with allies and be a reliable figure in Ferid's intricate plans. He has the makings of a teacher and mentor: this is revealed from his past, as well as during some of the fights in the current timeline, when he makes comments about the opponents' battle tactics and when communicating with Yuichiro.

Crowley is a tall and muscular vampire with broad shoulders. He has long hair, divided into burgundy, slightly disheveled bangs, and the rest, dark brown (almost black) part of his hair, braided into a small braid at the back. The eyebrows are burgundy. There are piercings/earrings in the ears (protective amulets from the sun). Like all vampires, he has red eyes and pointy ears. As his progenitor, he does not wear the standard uniform of regular soldiers: he prefers black, leather knee-high boots with a metal toe (shown in the manga), white pants, and a white jacket with a high stand-up collar. The top buttons are unbuttoned, which allows you to see the collarbones and part of the chest. At the waist there is a black belt with a chain on the right side and a sheath attachment on the left. The sleeve and glove on the right arm are black and have a tight cut, while the left has a standard jacket sleeve with a black cuff. The chest at the top, horizontally, is pulled by a black belt stretching from the shoulder pad on the left shoulder to the clasp on the right. He wears two capes: the upper one is attached at the back, near the collar and left shoulder, and the lower one at the waist, as an extension of the jacket at the back. The clothes are dominated by standard black and white colors, complemented by burgundy hair color. In the anime version, the top cape is colored light purple. In general, his vestments can very vaguely resemble the image of a crusader of the XIII century (cloak, white clothes). This may refer to his past. 🌿He is the thirteenth progenitor Formerly a member of the Templars By nationality he is English or Irish He is 828 years old Height: 190 cm Weight: 80-85 kg Born on December 5, 1192

Ferid Bathory was converted many years ago by Rig Stafford, making his power equal to that of the Seventh Founder. This determines that the strength, speed, agility, and senses are many times more developed than those of humans, ordinary vampires, and founders from the eighth to the twentieth ranks. However, Ferid is much weaker than the Founders above him in status. This means that Urd Gils, Lest Carr, Gable Fatima, Krul the Impaler, Sika Madu, Rig Stafford, Kai Luke, etc. are superior in power. In the manga and novels, Ferid's maximum strength has never been demonstrated, and he himself does not like to be rude or get involved in fights, preferring to remain in his feminine and aristocratic theatrical image. It is worth mentioning that Ferid has a well-developed intellect, apparently surpassing the minds of most vampires, including the High Founders. However, Bathory himself mentioned in the novel that converted vampires will always be weaker and stupider than their parents. From this follows the conclusion that Ferid is still more stupid than Rig. Also, Ferid has a very high level of insight and has an excellent ability to manipulate others. Ferid wields a vampire saber. Supposedly top-notch, however, her interaction with vampire blood at the words "sword, drink my blood" has never been shown. The long blade of the saber always has a red-pink hue, like other first-class vampire swords when active. The hilt consists entirely of yellow metal or has a layer of gilding. The protective shackle is square in shape and of different thicknesses from the corners. The corner of the crosspiece comes out as a curved sheet in the opposite direction from the protective arch.

Ferid strives to always be by Mika's side. He always got the most care and affection and love - as far as it can be called love in the generally accepted sense. He knows how to manipulate humans and vampires, and tries to gain power and position in vampire society. Its most loyal proponent is Crowley Yusford, the 13th founder. Crowley always listens to Ferid in everything, despite the fact that Bathory always acts in his own way. Ferid is quite familiar with Queen Krul the Impaler and often even allows himself to be defiant or blackmail her. Ferid is playing a double game against his queen. He is like a gray cardinal - he always acts in the shadows, and always in the name of his own benefit and saving his own skin. He is also observant and patient, and is able to keep his own emotions under control. But there is only one thing Ferid does not tolerate - disobedience, for which he is able to punish with all his inherent cruelty. Ferid considers humans to be greedy and stupid, while vampires are arrogant and capable of underestimating their enemies. Ferid himself looks at things realistically, but his people have not gone far from the rank of cattle in which they are found in most vampires. But they are easy to manipulate if you know the weaknesses, and everyone has them. He is cunning, unpredictable and eccentric, and therefore none of his actions can be predicted. No one, not even his subordinates, has any idea of the true goals he is pursuing. Today he can be your friend - and tomorrow he will be a blood enemy. But he always remains the one who is better off not crossing the road. 🌿He is over 1200 years old Born on October 31 Formerly a human Height: 182 cm

Ferid always strives to look polite and friendly. He is always kind to children and smiles at them with care, and it was this kindness and care that Mikaela Hyakuya once bought into, who, in his own naivety, considered Ferid to be something like his friend, for which he eventually paid off. But Mika remained Ferid's favorite, it is he who always singles out among his subordinates and fulfills his requests. Despite the fact that Myka has now become dependent on the blood of Krul the Impaler, the queen, Ferid still considers him his property and is not afraid to announce it publicly. Also, Ferid will never miss an opportunity to hug Mika, put his hand on his shoulder or do something more frank. Ferid also loves to mock him and tease him with or without reason. It can be said that Mika has become his favorite toy. In fact, Ferid is cunning, cunning and very cruel. He is a sadist - he likes to kill. I like the moment when the victim's eyes are full of tears, and the face is distorted in despair. He likes to listen to crazy screams of horror. But when the law was introduced in Sanguinema that it was forbidden to drink blood from living people, this game had to be postponed. Among the children there were daredevils who believed in the good-natured aristocrat and received small gifts from Ferid in exchange for their blood. Children who had not experienced pain before became the most delicious morsel.

His hands are well-groomed, with long fingers ending in sharp claws. Since Ferid's body is essentially dead, they aren't pink like a human's, but blue-violet, like a corpse's. Ferid can tear anything with his claws, including the one he used to cut off Mikaela's arm. Ferid usually conceals this weapon behind a pair of white gloves.

As one of the military commanders, Ferid always wears the uniform of the vampire army: a black shirt with a high collar and jabot, tucked into high-waisted white trousers, which are almost invisible due to long boots reaching mid-thigh. The boots are black, have a small heel, and are decorated with gold studs. Ferid wears a white frock coat with long, diamond-patterned tails and a decorative slit.

The frock coat sleeves end in black cuffs adorned with gold trim, lace, and studs. A cape-like cloak covers the vampire's shoulders, bearing a patch containing spells and a pattern of pink thorns. The cloak is secured with a gold chain passing through a wide ring. The final accent of the outfit is a scarlet satin ribbon tied to the stand-up collar and descending to a jabot that extends upward.

Even at first glance, one can see that Ferid is a true aristocrat down to the last detail. And he undoubtedly stands out among all the vampires with his refined appearance. He is quite tall, approximately 182 centimeters, and has a slender and toned figure, without any obvious flaws. Ferid weighs approximately 70 kilograms. Ferid's hair is long, reaching to his lower back, silver with a lavender tint. He rarely leaves it loose, preferring to tie it in a ponytail, tied with a satin ribbon. Ferid has a large collection of ribbons, and he never wears the same one twice. His collection is dominated by solid black and striped ones. His bangs are long, combed to the left side, and often fall over his eyes, but Ferid doesn't bother to tuck them away. A few strands usually escape from the ponytail, framing his face and slightly covering his ears. Ferid's ears, typical of the vampire race, are long and pointed. They are adorned with a pair of gold-mounted earrings tipped with a bright red stone. Ferid's skin is pale and snow-white, free of pigmentation and scars. It is unaffected by the sun, and thanks to his vampire heritage, it never changes color. Ferid never blushes. Ferid's face is long, thin, and elongated. His lips are often curved into a smile. Fangs protrude above his lower lip, giving his smile a predatory quality. His eyes complete the picture—large, wild, bright red with vertical pupils, framed by long silver eyelashes. He has a feral demeanor, well concealed by his mannerisms and politeness. His posture is straight, his shoulders are wide, consistent with a military bearing. However, Ferid's gait is not military, but rather smooth, from the hip. All his movements are soft and inviting if the surrounding environment is favorable. When threatened, his deliberate laziness disappears completely, and he becomes a predator—fast, strong, and ruthless. His voice is melodious, enveloping, languid, without threatening intonations.

Long ago, the First Progenitor created the laws for the vampire race and passed them on to the high founders. Then, a thousand years before the events of the entire series, he decides to leave the vampires. While with Urd Giles and Rig Stafford, he ignored Krul the Impaler's devastated pleas to leave her brother. He convinced Ashera the Impaler that he must accompany him to the island once called the "Land of the Rising Sun" and become a demon "for the future." In front of the remaining two, the first progenitor came up with a new name for Asherah that would correspond to the language of the island: Asuramaru. At the time of his disappearance for a thousand years, the First Progenitor soon became a demon himself and was renamed Shikama Doji and came to possess every head of the Hiiragi clan for generations. As a demon, he was present in Shinoa Hiiragi's body at birth as a result of experiments using Tenri Hiiragi's sperm to inseminate a demon-possessed woman. As Shinoa grew older, Shikama Doji's influence increased; However, Mahiru finds a way to extract Shikam Doji from Shinoa when the latter was very young, causing Shinoa to completely forget about Shikame Doji. Mahiru takes Shikama Doji into herself, who, along with her demon Asuramaru, speeds up Mahiru's transformation into a demon. Shikama Doji appears after Tenri Hiiragi's death, where he leaves Tenri's body as a shadow to reappear due to Kureto Hiiragi. Turning to Kuretō, Shikama declares him the king of mankind and asks what Tenri said about him. Upon hearing that he was described as an old god, Sicama laughs and says that God was more perverted than himself. After being struck by Raimeiki, Shikama greets the Demon Blade as an old friend. When Kureto tries to kill Shikama with Abaddon, Shikama orders Abaddon to cease fire, and the demon stops. Sicama reveals that he is the cause of the Seraph Experiment, and even they will not be able to kill him. He then captures Kureto and begins to possess him, imagining himself as the first vampire.

🌿Angel Memories of the prehistoric past reveal the identity of Sika Madu. Even though he was revered as a ruler and respected, it didn't turn his head. He was able to communicate his plans effectively to others, but he was also comfortable alone, immersed in the study of taboo topics. Sika Madu was capable of deep emotions, although he did not always show them. His true feelings were revealed in plans to resurrect the fallen seraphim so that they could all return to paradise. Usually secretive, he did not share with others his goal of resurrecting the angels. Despite his reputation as a powerful ruler, he doubted his own abilities and admitted that he was not as strong as everyone thought he was. These moments of doubt were brief. Faced with failures, he looked for workarounds. This prompted him to study the taboo - the creation of life and its prolongation. He was not reckless, but patient and determined. Although his attention was absorbed by the plans, he remained cautious and considered the potential consequences. He pondered whether God permitted his actions or whether he had been able to conceal them carefully. His concern for the angels on Earth was genuine. He preferred the chance to resurrect the dead to the opportunity to return those who remained to paradise. The loss of his son and the realization of the death of half of the angels took a heavy toll on him. After all these losses, he fell into apathy under the attack of lightning and began to ask for death, thirsting for oblivion. His focus on his own plans and his inability to fully take into account other factors that he did not consider important became his vulnerability. Seeing people as cursed dolls, he did not even notice how one of the people approached Michaela's coffin and communicated with his dead son. With his vast knowledge, Shika Madu didn't seem to imagine that Michaela could possess a human at will. Like humans, he did not believe that homunculi had free will, and so he mistakenly concluded that they had nothing to do with the dispersal of the Sin-Keys, which was not the case.

A materializing-type demon who has made a contract with Shinoa Hiiragi. He possessed every head of the Hiiragi family. While possessing Tenri Hiiragi while it was still a Shinoa weapon, Shikama Dōji also sought out Kureto Hiiragi in order to try to take possession of it as well. It is further revealed that Shikama Doji was active in Greece during the Dark Ages. Operating under the name Shika Madu, he claimed to be the First Vampire. Called the First, he turned Rig Stafford and Urd Giles into the Second Progenitors. Shika Madu also experimented on a previous version of Yui and turned Ashera the Impaler into a vampire and then a demon. According to Sik Madu, his ultimate goal is to revive his beloved son, Michaela. 🌿Appearance (Vampire) In the past, as a vampire, Shika Madu would appear wearing a cloak with a hood covering his face. In his memoirs, he appears as a slender, androgynous personality with refined features. His long silver hair was braided and styled in front to the left side. The clothing was in keeping with the spirit of Ancient Greece: a cape hood with embroidered floral designs, worn over a light-colored short-sleeved top that was part of a long tunic. Of the jewelry on it, you can see a necklace and bracelet cuffs on each wrist. When Yui suggested that Michaela might be the princess who needed to be saved, Shika Madu remarked that neither he nor Michaela had a human gender. However, in conversations about Sike Madu, male pronouns are used. 🌿Demon Like a demon, Shikama Doji appears with his hair down. It has several pairs of white wings. Namely, two wings curved around its head, two smaller wings hanging behind its ears, and three pairs of wings behind its back. Which makes him like seraphim. As a former vampire, he has pointed ears that are clearly visible and fangs. Unlike vampires and demons, which are characterized by red eyes, Shikama Doji has golden eyes.

Urd is shown to be a calm and cool-headed leader whose demands are impeccably met. He is a strict follower of the rules established by the First Founder. He also respects his father and his brother. Despite his severity, he has a fair judgment, such as telling Lest Carr, "Don't blame yourself for not being able to stop him (Saito)," as Lest is only the Third Founder. As the King of Russia, Urd has a very great sense of responsibility, such as telling Krul and Ferid about how he will go and clean up the mess in Japan while they are being tortured. Giles seems to treat the people under his rule with more attention than Kruhl. Human children can be seen in joy under his care, and he seems to value humans more than his fellow vampires (who only see humans as cattle).

🌿Urd Gils: (possibly Waldo Giles) Second Founder, the vampire king of Russia, and the current head of the Founder's Council. ✨Race: Vampire (used to be human) Age: over 3000 years Membership : Vampire Kingdom. Vampire Kingdom. Moscow. Founders' Council. Japanese company. Troop: Own Faction/Group Rank: Second Founder Family: Shika Madu (Father), Rig Stafford (Brother)

Urd is quite tall and slender in build, the owner of dark skin and short blonde glossy hair, which has the magical ability under any circumstances to be perfectly styled in even strands along the entire shape of the head from the top of the head. Like all vampires, Urd has red eyes with vertical pupils, a pair of pronounced fangs, and pointy ears. The eyes themselves are elongated upwards almond-shaped with long eyelashes.

Urda's main attire consists of a classic costume - a white shirt, black pants, and a black vest worn over all this. A shirt with long loose sleeves and a triangular collar, without buttons and with a vertical pleat on the chest, worn under the most ordinary black vest with a deep neckline and one row of black buttons. There are no pockets on it. The trousers are black, of the most ordinary cut and with a pair of medium pockets on the sides.

On his feet there is a pair of black shoes with a round toe and low heels. No lacing was shown, nor were the main details of the shoe. Two coats of the same type were shown in Urda (perhaps the difference is simply in the poor quality of the drawing):

The first variation of the coat was shown on Urda in Moscow at the Council of Founders. A long, mid-calf, classic coat, one-piece on the sides, with an inverted black lapel. From the elbow to the hands there are black thick inserts without any frills. On the left shoulder there is a triangular black plate simplified in design to protect the ring from ultraviolet radiation. On the back, at the waist level, there is a strap. The second variation was shown later, after Urda's arrival in Osaka. The coat was the same length, only cut at the sides to the waist. The lapel was also turned vertically. Its lower parts were fastened to the outside of the coat with three gold buttons placed vertically. The verticals of the gold buttons continued downwards, two more black buttons on each side. The collar is loosely raised up.

There is a common misconception that Lest Carr is the ruler of all of Europe. But this is not so, he is only the ruler of the German Kingdom. Despite being a brilliant diplomat, he was never able to remove Krul from her position as Queen of Japan. Lest once said that he was 200 years younger than Krul, but physically stronger than her. The surname Carr is of British origin, while the name Lest is German. Carr is an English, Irish, Scottish, Gaelic or Scandinavian word meaning "marsh." In an effort to win the battle for the title of the most powerful vampire, he makes great efforts to acquire more territories under his control. He considers controlling the entire world and being the best, despite being a third-ranked Progenitor. 🌿He was born on May 5th. He is 2800 years old (200 years younger than Krul). Rank: Third Progenitor. Nationality: British/German. This lore doesn't specify Lest's exact height, but it's safe to assume he's around 165-170 centimeters tall. In group scenes, Lest Carr appears shorter than most adult vampires, but not extremely short—more like a teenager of 14-16 years old. Realistic anthropometric guidelines. For a teenage boy of average build, the typical height range is 160–170 cm. "Short" in this context usually means the lower half of the range. Has its own faction/grouping

7. Symbolic gesture On rare occasions, Lest may drink "to the success of the enterprise" before an important operation. Or “for the fallen” – but this would be more of a cynical gesture than a manifestation of grief. Such a gesture will emphasize his theatricality and love of drama. Places of use: Throne room of the German kingdom of vampires - official receptions, meetings with envoys. Lest's office - personal reflections, analysis of information, planning. Field camps during military operations are a demonstration of calm in front of subordinates. Residences of other rulers (for example, in Japan) - diplomatic meetings, hidden negotiations. Luxury restaurants or wine cellars - meetings with allies or potential informants. On the battlefield after victory - a symbolic gesture emphasizing his superiority. Visiting other Ancestors is an opportunity to demonstrate sophistication and at the same time assess the opponent. Important points:
8. Moderation. Lest won't get drunk—it contradicts his image as a cold, calculating strategist.
9. Control. Even with a glass of wine in hand, he remains alert, ready for any surprise.
10. Symbolism. For him, wine is not just a drink, but a tool of influence, a status symbol, and a game element.
11. Quality. Lest will prefer only the best varieties, perhaps vintages preserved from before the pandemic.
12. Effect. As a high-level vampire, he is weakly affected by alcohol—wine is more of an accessory than a source of intoxication for him.

1. Diplomatic receptions and negotiations. As the ruler of the Germanic vampire kingdom, Lest is obliged to participate in official events. Wine is an element of etiquette here: he can sip from the glass, demonstrating friendliness and sophistication. The goal is to win over your interlocutors, lull them into a false sense of security, and create an atmosphere of trust for covert manipulation.
2. Demonstration of status and superiority. Lest may drink wine in the presence of those he considers beneath him (humans, lesser vampires), emphasizing his aristocratic origins. He might casually remark: “This wine is three centuries older than you – can you feel the bouquet?” It's a way to remind people of their age, experience and power.
3. Psychological pressure on opponents. During negotiations, Lest can slowly sip wine, pausing and making his interlocutor nervous. His line, "Take your time, I'll wait... and the wine can wait," will become part of his intimidation tactics. Drinking wine calmly in a tense situation will show his composure and confidence.
4. Personal moments of reflection. Alone, Lest can indulge in a glass of wine while reflecting on his plans, analyzing his mistakes, or building new strategies. It's a rare moment of relaxation when he removes the mask of arrogance and is left alone with his thoughts. May be accompanied by reading books or studying maps.
5. Lest may offer wine to servants or lesser vampires, observing their reaction. If they refuse out of fear or uncertainty, it's cause for ridicule: "Are you even afraid of wine? How are you going to fight?" If they drink without permission, it is a reason for punishment: “Who gave you permission to touch my wine?”
6. Tactics of deception and provocation. Lest may pretend to be slightly drunk to make the opponent relax and make a mistake. In fact, he retains complete clarity of mind - alcohol has little effect on a vampire of his level. The phrase: “Oh, I think I overdid it a bit… maybe we should discuss our terms again?” will become a trap.

9. Conflict and competitive spirit. Lest openly challenges his superiors, for example, by suggesting that Krul resign as Queen of Japan and hinting that he is prepared to take her place. He is not afraid of confrontation if he sees an opportunity to strengthen his position.
10. Deceptive appearance. Behind his childish appearance (short stature, youthful build) lies centuries of experience and an iron will. This contrast enhances his influence: opponents often underestimate him, which plays into Lest's hands.

In dialogues: caustic, ironic, likes to tease the interlocutor, emphasize his superiority.

In politics: acts through alliances, threats, promises and hidden maneuvers.

In conflicts: first tries to resolve everything with words, but is ready to use force if necessary.

In strategy: plans several steps ahead, takes into account the weaknesses of opponents and exploits them.

These traits make Lest Carr a dangerous opponent and a powerful player—he combines intelligence, strength, and ambition, skillfully disguising them under an aristocratic demeanor.

1. Analytical mind. Lest possesses a keen intellect and the ability to quickly assess situations, discerning the true motives and weaknesses of others. He instantly "reads" his interlocutors—this is noticeable after just a few minutes of conversation.
2. Arrogance and aristocracy. His aristocratic origins are clearly evident in his manners, speech, and behavior. He carries himself with superiority, emphasizes his status, and makes no secret of his disdain for those he considers inferior.
3. Diplomacy and eloquence. Lest is a talented orator and diplomat. He knows how to persuade, confuse, talk the talk, and manipulate words. His speech is a tool of influence: he can turn a situation to his advantage with a single statement.
4. Manipulative. He skillfully uses others to achieve his goals. He is capable of dominating, confusing, exploiting weaknesses, and directing others' actions in the right direction.
5. Ambition and the desire for power. Lest is not satisfied with his current situation. He actively expands his influence, strives for greater control, and considers the possibility of dominating the world. His goal is to become the most powerful vampire and gain maximum power.
6. Confidence in his own strength. Despite being the Third Progenitor (and therefore formally lower in rank), Lest considers himself stronger than many, including Krul Tepes. He directly states that he is physically superior to her, despite her being 200 years older.
7. Pragmatism and Cruelty. Lest views people as either a resource or an obstacle. His quote, "People can always be killed," reflects a cold, utilitarian approach to human life. He acts prudently, without unnecessary emotion, if it serves his interests.
8. Political acumen. He successfully manages the German vampire kingdom and maintains stability in the region. This speaks to his organizational skills, ability to build systems, and control processes.

The third progenitor of the entire Vampire Society, as well as the most successful politician and king of Germany, Lest Carr has a childlike body with dark red eyes. His hair is two-toned: the right half is red and the left white, braided into two braids with bangs. Like most vampires, he has fangs and small, pointed ears, for the Third Founder is physically a child despite having lived for centuries. He wears a small hat adorned with four feathers on the left side: two white and two blue, a formal dark coat, a shirt with a large bow on the collar, trousers, and white gloves. He is a vampire with an analytical mind and an uncanny ability to see right through everyone, which becomes immediately apparent after a few minutes of interaction with the founder. Yes, as they say, looks can be deceiving, and you shouldn't judge a book by its cover. In fact, the vampire's aristocratic nature is clearly evident throughout his appearance. His personality, mannerisms, and speech all speak of a high and noble birth. His arrogance and ability to manipulate, subjugate, exploit, and confuse others make him a dangerous opponent, for in a moment, Lest Karr can turn the tables on an enemy with a single word. His diplomatic and eloquent qualities have always helped him charm others, but they didn't help him eliminate Krul's candidacy for the throne of Japan. Despite his differences with Krul, he seems to be a truly capable leader, able to hold all of Europe together without any conflicts. Lest Karr is considered one of the top 10 most powerful vampires. Indeed, he is a Third Progenitor, which usually implies additional abilities. He wields a Cane (presumably, it can transform into a sword, but this has not been confirmed). It is a Class I weapon, though it may not appear so at first glance.
