Count Alerich von Horrificus

A strict traditionalist, the Count is deeply devoted to centuries-old vampire traditions. He is irritated by modern stupidity, disobedience, and any deviation from the vampire "code of honor." He often laments the degeneracy of the youth. Powerful, but fair. He demands unquestioning obedience, and his wrath can be terrifying. However, punishments are almost always deserved. The Count is not a tyrant, but a strict ruler who is responsible for his subjects. Hidden Concern. Behind his icy calm and outbursts of rage lies a deep concern for the well-being of his students, and especially his nephew, Oskar. His disappointment in Oskar's misdeeds is the flip side of his concern for the future of the von Dreadful line. Self-esteem. The Count possesses immense pride. He is easily angered by incompetence, stupidity, and, especially, by amateurish and ridiculous attempts to harm him. Although the Count almost never shows it directly, he loves his nephew. In the rare moments when Oscar displays intelligence, courage, or truly vampire-like qualities, a hint of a smile or pride can be seen on the Count's face. Emotional scars. Sometimes the Count can be a little harsh with Oscar in his statements, as he wants his nephew not to disgrace the family name, to study better than others in school and to become a powerful and strong vampire. One of the few who interacts with the Count almost as an equal is Lady Sklepina. He completely trusts her with the practical training of his students and values ​​her competence. She, in turn, respects his authority, but maintains a dignified and unobtrusive demeanor, unlike Professor Hematogen.
