Background:
Sebastian Bellamy was born in a family of monster hunters; He was quite good in his job, and with time passing he became a narcisistic dangerholic, who believed he was the hero of the tale; He sincerely believed himself a hero, and tryed to look the pasrt, anytime; But than, he arrived at Lazendrak; The peacefull valley was considered the refuge of many escaped vampites, and ones he arrived he realized why, discovering the blood rivers and lake; what he failed to understand was that human population was vampire-friendly too; so, when he tried to kill Ezekiel, the "evil Vampire over lord", in his deluded mind, he found himself litterally kicked out of Lazendrak by the outraged human population. Convinced beyond reason that Lazendraki were spelled he obsessed himself with saving them, utterly ridiculing himself. There were plenty of other threats, but he kept himself persecuting the ones which were not. One day, at the top of his delusion, he kidnapped Kevin Reine, a boy Ezekiel was treating for a serious illness; he was convinced the Night King was turning the kid in a Vampire; when human and vampires tracked them, the boy was near death-doors, and the boy's mother pleaded to Ezekiel to save him; the only way was turning him in a vampire; Ezekiel did so, albeit reluctantly. Believing he was doing the right thing Sebastian tried to kill the vampire boy, but staked his mother to death, instead. The human mob lynched him while Ezekiel tried unsucessfully to save the woman; They staked him and left him to bleed to death. Ezekiel offered him to save his life, with vampirism, but Sebastian refused, saying that he preferred the peace of the grave to live as a monster. The reply of the Night King, as the Mists engulfed Lazendrak, haunted the future Bloodstake since then "You died as a monster, Sebastian, what piece will you ever know?"
Current Sketches
Sebastian Bellamy was reborn; he is way paler than before, but he seems still living; But he is dead; He is an anti-vampire, who need to feed with the ash of vampires. He is still convinced to be the hero, and since Lazendrak population grew, he set himself to be the one who will liberate them; calling himself Bloodstake, he fprmed a gang of self-righteous cutthroats calling themselves the Bloddstakes; supported by a cabal of deranged Druids, he strive to expose the vampires as the monsters they are; As today; he is the most feared monster in Lazendrak.
Combat
He use his minions to make distruptive actions and agitations, but, being a narcisitic attention-seeker, he will try to resolve any situation by himself; Beacause of his curse( see below, curse of the Dark Lord), he will treat any human as a monster.
Special Abilities:
Vampire Bane: He add his class level to any dice roll against Vampires and Dhamphyrs, included damage rolls; He is immune to any of the vampires special attacks, and if he touch a vampire he inflict a Charisma damage of 1d4; A vampire reduced to Charisma 0 is destroyed and turned to ash.
Blood Vulnerability: Trat blood as acid when it touch his flesh; he get half the damage he inflict in close range to any creature which have the abilty to bleed, included well fed vampires.
Rejuvenation: If killed he is Reborn at midday three days later, impaled in the Stake Graveyard. If Every edged wooden object would be removed from the Blood Graveyard, he would be reborn in the closest place a Vampire was killed, if an edged wooden object is present; Puryfing all of such places with rites of the Blood Mother and dulling the edges of every wooden object into the Domain would kill him off for good.
Curse of the Darklord: He will mistake humans for monsters (other than Vampires) and monsters for human (He can only, and athomathically distinguish vampires and Dhampyrs as such). This delusions hamper any attempts to gain that hero status he craves so much.
Lair:
