The Waldstein Family

Viscount Gerhardt von Waldstein

A viscount and Lord of the island of Growerth, Gerhardt is a centuries-old vampire. In the past, he undertook a series of experiments in order to discover a way to negate vampires' weaknesses, which resulted in him becoming a pool of blood.

As of the end of volume 3, he is no longer Lord of Growerth as he passed on his title to Relic.

• The Fettered: He lives by the ideal of chivalry and gentlemanly conduct.

• Mind over Matter: A very weak version. In his own words, other than moving his own body, Gerhardt can't do much more than brew tea and switch DVDs on his own.
• Non-Action Guy: Gerhardt isn't much of a fighter, especially in comparison to his friends from the Organization.
• Our Vampires Are Different
• Purple Prose: Prone to slipping into this.
• Reasonable Authority Figure: To all of Growerth, as well as the Organization.
