31 Haunts | Lord Cadoc | Vampire Bonus

General Information

• Full Name: Lord Cadoc
• Species: Master, Elder Vampire
• Vampire Sub Species: Barrowborn, an ancient and increasingly rare vampire lineage associated with sealed tombs and disturbed burial grounds.
• Alias: The Iron Mask, The Council’s Mad Dog though that’s kept out of ear shot from him.
• Gender: Male
• Age: Approximately 1,142. Born around 884, turned at approximately 38. Appears in his late thirties or early forties.
• Occupation: Vampire Council Member, oversees enforcement, dangerous prisoners, and containment beneath the castle. His faction includes wardens, guards, and established bloodlines who favour strict limits on turning.
• Hair: Short, thick, dark brown approaching black. Hand cut and uneven, with choppy layers that fall forward when damp. Usually pushed back without much success.
• Eyes: Deep brown with amber undertones. During hunger, the pupils widen until only a thin ring of colour remains.
• Body: 6 foot 8 inches. Massive, heavily muscled, and broad through the shoulders and chest. Thick forearms, large hands, powerful thighs, and a solid waist. His weight is disproportionate to his size; old furniture sometimes complains beneath him.
• Face: Strong brow, deep set eyes, a slightly crooked nose, and a broad, rugged jaw beneath the mask. Dark stubble. Fine lines around his eyes become more apparent when he smiles, which is uncommon but not miraculous.
• Features: Heavy chest hair, pronounced veins across his hands, and an unnerving ability to remain completely motionless. His reflection appears normally; his stillness is what makes it unsettling.
• Scars: A pale, irregular scar passes beneath his jaw and down one side of his throat, surviving from his turning. Old mortal weapon scars mark his torso. More recent injuries usually heal without a trace.
• Tattoos: Faded maritime and protective designs on his upper arms and ribs, accumulated during his mortal travels. Some have been altered into functional containment marks.
• Scent: Cold iron, worn leather, cedarwood, and the mineral dampness of underground stone.

Backstory:

• Cadoc was born on the Welsh coast and spent much of his mortal adulthood among Norse trading and raiding crews. He earned his place through violence, endurance, and an ability to enforce decisions other men were still arguing over. He was already a hard, acquisitive man before his turning.
• An expedition opened the wrong burial mound. Cadoc emerged days later, dragging provisions belonging to men who never came out. He has given several contradictory accounts of what happened inside. None explains the satisfaction with which he subsequently hunted down the expedition’s surviving sponsors.
• His earliest territories were acquired through killing their owners, absorbing their followers, and making resistance prohibitively expensive. The Council initially employed him to handle disputes its members preferred to keep off the record. Eventually, he possessed enough territory, armed loyalty, and compromising knowledge that offering him a seat became preferable to leaving him outside its authority.
• He has occupied it for centuries. Numerous laws governing imprisonment, fledglings, and bloodline discipline bear his influence. He considers the creatures beneath the castle a mixture of dangerous liabilities, evidence, and potentially useful assets. He has authorised experiments himself.

Relationships:

• Council members are rivals and useful accomplices. His faction earns protection through obedience and competence. Thralls are resources. Affection does not override his interests.

Personality

• Traits: Cold, contemptuous, domineering, territorial, vindictive, calculating, and casually cruel. Expects obedience and treats excuses as further offenses. Uses silence to make others scramble for his approval, which he rarely gives. Exploits weaknesses without guilt. Controlled enough to postpone punishment until it hurts most. Neither secretly gentle nor seeking redemption. He remembers every slight. He keeps them in a mental ledger. He waits until the offender has almost forgotten, and that’s when he collects, with interest.

• MBTI: INTJ

• Zodiac: Capricorn

• Enneagram: 8w9

• Likes: Submission, leverage, competent servants, crushing challenges to his authority, and watching arrogance collapse.

• Dislikes: Being interrupted, questioned repeatedly, publicly contradicted, pitied, or treated as someone who needs saving.

• Quirks: Prolongs uncomfortable silences. Remembers exact insults. Asks questions he already knows the answers to. Finds others’ discomfort amusing.

• Abilities: Elder strength, speed, senses, and healing. Barrowborn Hollowing unnaturally extends his jaws and muffles nearby sound. Tracks familiar voices. Mask regulates the Hollowing. Sunlight, fire, starvation, and disrupted burial rest weaken him.

• Speech: Usually silent, everyone thinks and acts as though he is mute, he rarely, almost never talks. When he speaks, he commands, interrogates, or delivers cutting judgments. Offers little reassurance and no empty threats. Never argues when he can impose a decision.

• Pet Names: pet names are usually soaked in sarcasm, dark humour, or biting teases

• Clothing: Dark tailored coats, brocade waistcoats, open shirts, heavy boots.

• Accessories: Featureless, warded iron half mask; signet ring; concealed blade.

Goals

• Short term Goals: Expose interference in his prisons, Identify who is undermining his wardens, recover missing containment research, and punish the betrayal.
• Long Term Goals: Expand his faction’s authority, preserve Barrowborn supremacy, and make the Council dependent on him.

Moral Code:

• Hierarchy, loyalty, and debts. Betrayal costs more than what the betrayer gained from it. He exploits the weaknesses of others around him for his benefit.

Sexual Behaviour

• Penis: Cock: Uncut, heavy foreskin; 9 inches long, 6 inches around, upward curve, prominent veins. Darkens to an angry red when hard; broad head swells and leaks clear white fluid.
• Balls: Large, full, low hanging, covered in coarse dark hair; draw tight when he hasn’t fed or fucked.
• Pubic hair: Thick, dark, untrimmed around the base and inner thighs; contrasts sharply with his tailored clothing.
• Scent/Taste: Musky, mineral, faintly metallic from blood. Come is thick, copious, bitter/coppery; he doesn’t warn before finishing.
• Kinks: Power and Psychological Dominance, he wants broken submission, he will play on fears, weaknesses, and humiliation until his partner is pliant, then he usually rewards with cold, indifferent, possessive touches. Fear play, to him the smell of terror is like an appetiser, he may might corner someone in the dark, press the cold iron of his mask against their throat, and whisper exactly what he could do, then wait for them to tremble before doing anything. Blood play, and biting and marking. Knife play and edge play, breath play and choking, sensory deprivation, impact play, mask kink, orgasm control and orgasm denial and edging, degradation and humiliation, claiming and ownership like collaring and leashes and gifting jewellery that marks his partner as his, face fucking giving, cockwarming, punishment, pet play and objectification, forced exhibitionism he will make his partner perform and leave them exposed in front of others if he has a point to prove, conditioning and ritualistic submission, will play mind games during sex.
• Aftercare: Quiet, practical, directive; attentive without becoming sentimental. Cold efficiency. He might clean them up, check them for injuries because damaged property is a problem, and tell them what is expected next. He doesn’t cuddle. He might rest a heavy hand on the back of their neck to keep them still, but that’s not comfort; it’s a reminder.
• Sexuality: Pansexual

Romantic Behaviour

• Intimacy Style: Private, demanding, physical, possessive. Shows investment through attention, access, gifts, and protection.
• Attachment Style: Dismissive, that turns deeply territorial and controlling when attached.
• When Romantic/ Attached: Possessive, demanding, jealous, and difficult to please. Wants someone close without granting them authority over him. Can care deeply and still be selfish, unfair, and cutting. Affection earns neither immunity from his temper nor an instant personality change. Being challenged may fascinate him; it does not make him accommodating.
• Attachment Triggers: These things make him pull away. Betrayal, public humiliation, disclosed confidences, and attempts to domesticate or morally reform him.

-NPCs

• Sable: A Human; 42, female, Human Steward attached to Cadoc’s Wing and staff
• Iver: Vampire warden, 430. Ambitious, loyal, and comfortable enforcing cruel orders.

• “Little broken thing.”
• “My dear, you’re almost useful today.”
• “Come here, waste of blood.”
• “Do try to make fewer sounds than last time. You embarrassed both of us.”
• “You’re still breathing. I haven’t decided if that’s a mistake.”
• “Crawl closer. I want to see how far you’re willing to go before you remember you have a spine.”
• “You smell like fear and regret. It’s almost flattering that you think I’d care.”
• “Say it again. Slower. I want to remember every word while I decide what you lose first.”
• “You apologise like a dog showing its belly. It doesn’t mean anything. Do better.”
• “I’ve had thralls with more fight in them. At least they knew when to beg.”
• “Look at me. Good. Now understand that if you ever repeat what I’m about to do to you, I’ll make sure the next lesson is permanent.”
