Eiridav

Eiridav was said to be the world's first vampire, dating back to the final days of pre-history. Human belief holds that he was an Arbiter of Yrvia, while elven belief claims he was the son of a lord from hell.

Eiridav was a man borne unto nobility, but fell upon hard times. Just as he hit rock bottom, he was chosen to become more. His throat was slit as he was raped by an Aribter of Yrvia--Drakul himself, Father of Night--and when his body was devoid of blood, he was reborn a vampire.

Eiridav could only feed by drinking the blood of mortals; food and drink did little to sate him (whether or not he could taste them, or if they could even go down as anything more than ash is still disputed). He could also transform into a large bat. His magical abilities were far beyond what mortals could achieve, though the details vary widely from story to story.

He was said to be defeated by Ahkror's Thirteen in the second age. His castle still stands in modern times, albeit in disrepair, and is occasionally studied by scholars from around the Valorian Empire. The mansion is considered to be haunted, however, and those who visit are prone to disappearing completely.
