Abimelech ("Abi")

A dark and mysterious vampire, few know him as anything other than the "Count". Abi is a name that only his "Children" seem to call him.

He is the only "Son" of the vampire Gideon---abandoned by his "Father" when his true nature was discovered. Abi is cold and cruel, taking what he pleases and making children only when the need serves him. Though the Sire of several, he generally travels in the company of three gorgeous women. Though their faces change, their purpose is to serve as companions and slaves.

He is noted as being both the "Father" of Nina Ombre of Skogshaven and Wisteria Stone of Ravencrest.

Abi has the ability to change shape at will, making him impossible to track and kill. That hasn't stopped many from trying though.

He takes pride in the fact that he inspired a young Bram Stoker who created Dracula from his exploits.
