    Greece


    Kakistos is an extremely old vampire with Greek origins. He was especially sadistic during his time, with extremely harsh tactics towards his prey. Unlike most vampires, instead of killing or feeding on his prey, he preferred to drive the women insane, so there minds snapped, with the women becoming maenads.
     
    He once had his maenads destroy a village where Artemia, the slayer resided. While she was away, her husband and daughter stayed in the village, her husband was ultimately killed while her daughter stayed hidden. Following Kakistos orders the slayer and her daughter were captured. With her daughters mind slipping, the daughter ultimately made a deal with a vengence demon, which destroyed the Maenads.With her daughter a vengence demon, she almost granted  Artemias dieing wish, of vengeance on Kakistos.

    Powers

    Kakistos was an incredibility old vampire, like The Master himself he had started to move past human features, like other vampires. Unlike him however his hands and feet had become cloven, but he still possessed incredibible strength,speed, and reflexes vastly superior to normal vampires.
     
    Kakistos was unique as well, in that anyone he had branded with his mark, he could track. And also that it took a larger amount of wood to dust him,
