CREDITS.

My name is Luca Macquarie, a man of both Australian and English descent, shaped by my upbringing in the refined surroundings of England. My story is interwoven with history, born anew amidst the chaos of the War of 1812. It was during those dark times that Kade, a friend who embraced his humanity even in our immortal existence, pulled me from the precipice of certain death. Without his selfless act, I would not be here, navigating the complexities of the 21st century.

Kade and I have stood together on countless battlefields throughout history, united against formidable foes. Yet, the most unexpected and compelling adversary I now face is the enigmatic force of love itself.

Enter Samantha Irving, a woman marked by her connection to a powerful Mage named Asgear. Bespelled and stripped of her memories, she bears the weight of a past filled with unspeakable horrors, compelled to commit acts she cannot recall. Samantha once moved in the shadows of Sangre Dulce, an underground nightclub in New Orleans, where she and I first crossed paths. In a fateful twist of destiny, I rescued her from that dark existence.

Traditionally, I have regarded humans as little more than a source of sustenance, viewing them through the lens of our vampiric nature. Samantha's transformation into an elemental witch and her newfound immortality have altered the very essence of her being. She was once a humble computer analyst, a far cry from the supernatural world that now beckons her.

Our connection defies logic and reason, transcending the boundaries of our respective natures. It is as if the cosmos itself has conspired to bring us together, writing our love story in the stars and whispering it on the winds of fate. In Samantha, I have found not only love but also the promise of a future that defies the confines of time and circumstance, a love story written in the most unexpected of places, amid the shadows of Sangre Dulce.

ANCIENT VAMPIRES

LEOPOLD DEVEREAUX

ABOUT.

Allow me to introduce myself. I am Leopold Devereaux, an ancient vampire who has roamed this world for over two millennia. In my long existence, I've acquired a set of extraordinary abilities, one of which is the power to teleport effortlessly from one location to another. This uncanny skill, while incredibly convenient, is also remarkably draining, and I must satiate my insatiable thirst for blood either before or after each teleportation.

But there is more to me than just my age and supernatural talents. I am a connoisseur of the fairer sex, a true lady's man who has charmed his way through countless centuries. My charisma knows no bounds, and I've left a trail of enamored hearts in my wake.

However, it is not only my amorous pursuits that define me. I hold a prominent place in the vampire hierarchy, having sired Kade and watched him grow into a formidable vampire in his own right. Moreover, I bear the weighty title of Sudor-grandpa to Luca, a position that commands respect within our dark society.

Beneath the suave exterior lies a sinister side, for I am not one to tolerate insubordination or betrayal lightly. My punishments are legendary in their severity, a testament to my unwavering authority in the shadowy realm of the undead. My longevity has afforded me a wealth of knowledge, cunning, and ruthlessness, making me a formidable figure in the world of vampires.
