Lahmian Vampire Lord (Barded Nightmare)
Descended from Neferata, thought to be the very first Vampire, Lahmians are alluring, seductive, and deadly in equal measure.As a Vampire ages, his powers increase. He becomes physically stronger and faster, until he is able to tear a man in half and move as fast as the wind. He is able to call upon a host of powers, the nature of which vary from Vampire to Vampire. Some can call forth creatures such as wolves and bats to assail the armies of the living, and sometimes they can even learn how to change into these forms. Others are able to mesmerise weak-willed mortals with barely a glance. If the Vampire has a strong affinity for magic, then his necromantic abilities expand both naturally and through study. Despite these awe-inspiring powers, however, there is a terrible price to pay. As the decades become centuries, many Vampires lose their minds, sliding inexorably into madness.

Abilities
- Lightning Reflexes
Whether living or dead, career-sailors must quickly learn the ropes or find themselves locked inside Stromfels' Chest for all eternity. - Seduction
"Come to my cabin… You'll find it most comfortable I am sure…" - The Hunger
As the Vampires rip apart their victims they feast on the blood that spills forth – gaining in strength and lost stamina. - Crumbling
The dead do not rest easily in the Old World. Those summoned by Vampires and Necromancers no longer have mortal concerns - they serve only their master's will. - Disintegrating
The Dark Magic binding has failed. Both flesh and necromantic energy slough off the subjects, leaving naught but dust.
