Vripaed Jaevvoir

Bearer of the Dark Moon
Vripaed was foster child to a half-elf and a human; they beat him almost every day for not learning fast enough. Being an elf, he needed longer to learn and eventually ran away. He met a dark stranger and took up with him. The man he accompanied soon revealed his true nature, giving Vripaed the eternal kiss. Becoming a vampire, Vripead vented his supernatural anger on all humans and half-elves he met.
Eventually, the two vampires were hunted by a church and only Vripead escaped the fanatics. Alone and depressed, he traveled to Myth Drannor, where he found the sacred sword Darkmoon*. Since that time he has been on a personal quest to kill all humans and half-elves on Toril.

Combat/Tactics: Vripaed is a face-to-face fighter, but has enough sense to weaken stronger foes with his spells and an occasional backstab, for quadruple damage. He is afraid of no-one in melee and often gets close enough to his enemies to lunge at them for a bite!
Vripaed vampiric form doesn't conform to either the standard AD&D game rules or the Ravenloft settings variant rules. When he bites his victims, he drains one point of Charisma per round. Vripaed gains +4 to hit with long or short bows and can backstab his enemies for quadruple damage. Victims save at -2 versus his charm person ability if they look into his eyes.
Vripaed can only be struck by weapons of +2 enchantment or better, is immune to garlic and mirrors, can withstand up to 5 rounds of moonlight, and regenerates 3 hit points per round. He can also pass plant at will (this kills the plant via his black thumb curse). Like normal AD&D Vampires, Vripaed is immune to sleep, charm, all hold and all other mind-effecting spells as well as poison and paralysis. Cold and electrical attacks only cause half normal damage.
Otherwise Vripaed possesses all the other benefits and hindrances of normal vampires as listed in the MONSTROUS MANUAL, except the differences stated above. These abilities include assuming the form of a large bat or pale silver-furred wolf. Brief statistics for these forms are:

Foes/Enemies: Nearly everyone he has met so far.

Appearance: Vripaed appears to be an extremely pale, middle-aged moon elf. He wears a glorious suit of elven plate mail. Vripaed either weilds either a finely carved, oak elven long bow or a cracked, but beautiful dark colored moonblade. He wears fine clothing and is always prepared for combat with numerous weapons glittering from his belt.

Personality: Loud and bold, Vripaed sounds more like a wild elf among his own kind. He despises half-breeds and humans, killing them whenever he can. Otherwise he only tolerates the company of evil elves.

Locales Frequented: The High Forest.

Motivation/Goals: Vripaed's goals are to kill whatever gets in his quest for power and do whatever his sword tells him to; mainly kill all half-elves and humans.
