Carmelea Nosfir
To aid her in fulfilling this oath, Carmelea seeks to restore The Red Pact, an ancient knightly order of vampires dedicated to restoring the lost realms of Edaenia, and to fulfill the great dream of a nation for the unnatural and the outcast.
She promises them land and prosperity, but plots an ancient agenda.
Appearance
A woman turned in her late thirties, just shy of the eternal youth for which vampires are known, but still in her prime. Raven haired, tall and sharp featured, with eyes of pale blue bordering silver, all things that tell of a woman who turned down many a suitor long before her beauty was enhanced by vampirism.

Personality
It took a commanding presence to lead bickering vampires and scheming nobles, and that is exactly why Lady Nosfir was chosen to shepherd The Red Pact. Though her oath was sworn in the days of yore, one would find no more stalwart a Spellknight than she who would pursue the ancient mission of her master, even as she awoke in a world unrecognizable from her own.
Ruthless and cunning, her mission is paramount above all else; to rediscover a forgotten kingdom and rebuild a nation of the Vampiric, the undead and the outcast.
Though formal and nurturing, prolonged stasis has rendered her unaccustomed to the present, and memory blurred with the dreams of a deep slumber exceeding the rise and fall of cities. To many she appears aloof, and in her zealous quest to restore what remains of the world she once knew, It is often unclear whether her fellows are true allies or pawns of a greater game.
The secrets she keeps could upend it all.
Biography & Lore
None yet know the true scope of her past. She remembers in hazy detail when Valenntenia was not yet a city, nor rune magic antiquated. She speaks a language that no scholar can remember, and always seems so curious about even the mundane.
When one has dreamed more years than lived, reality begins to blur.
She may have been a royal agent once, or perhaps a court sorceress, she couldn't quite remember. Her oath though, to one who's name she'd forgotten but instinctively fears to this day, that much is clear; to slumber till the fires cool and awaken the monarch of a faraway land. Edaenia, not quite home but neither foreign shores, it is the one name recognizable in her dreams.
Now the strangers have invaded her tomb, roused forgotten machinery and the vampire held within.
The world may have forgotten those to whom she swore loyalty, but she has not. Vampires gather once more under the red banner of Countess Carmelea, promised lands and titles in a world of their own making, among the brotherhood of a knightly order restored.
The Red Pact rises anew.
