#TOTAL WAR WARHAMMER OBEDIENCE SERIES#

With the End Times and the tie-in novels, Vlad's past has been (retcons aside) somewhat revealed Unlike the Joker, he's sane enough to remember it, but he never told anyone about it for a long time until he met Isabella. Like the Joker, he has a multiple-choice past. This, along with his actual giving a shit about the opinions of the other races in the End Times: Archaon, means that he is basically the one actually likeable creature in all of Warhammer fantasy battle (aside from Thorgrim, naturally). By sheparding the commoners, Vlad did more than simply guarantee a source of nourishment his actions led to extensive loyalty from the populace, and his rulership is widely regarded as the best Sylvania ever had (which speaks volumes as to how badly the Sylvanians in general have it). By protecting them from the dark things that lurk Sylvania's wastelands and putting bandits and invaders to the sword, Vlad ingratiated himself upon the people of his land. Vlad is notable for actually giving a shit about the peasants under his banner. There was even a painting of her commissioned as a wedding gift so she'd always look the way she wanted. Yet he went even further and had all reflective objects removed from the castle in case she was traumatized by no longer having a reflection. After the turning, Vlad gave her the standard talk he gave all his 'gets' (people he turned into vampires). He came to love his wife Isabella, and turned her into a vampire so she wouldn't die of illness. This indicates he has some skill at persuasion and he's not a total murderer.ДЄside from all this he was a devoted husband. He accomplished this by tracking it to a temple where some humans were hiding from a Chaos army and, after the book was found, persuaded them to give it to him (with words, not violence I know weird isn't it). Vlad was also able to single-handedly track down and understand one of the Books of Nagash. They went on to create a big vampire family (they had more offspring than Mannfred and Konrad, those two are just the most infamous). He would get so mad if his plans were thwarted only his wife could calm him without blood being spilt.

Vlad von Carstein (Aka Chad von Carstein) was described as a very tall, darkly handsome pale man, with '.a mane of black hair and piercing eyes.' He was often well dressed, and went to war in some badass-looking armor, though what really kept him alive was the Carstein Ring.ДЄs described by '.those who met him and survived the encounter', Vlad was very intelligent (he manipulated his way into controlling Sylvania through a cunning series of events) with a 'feral charm', but had an evil temper.

5.1.3 Mannfred gets reminded who's the boss.
