History: Born in the 16th century in what is now Austria, Johann was a gifted but rebellious stonemason's apprentice who ran afoul of a minor noble. He was sired by a vampire in 1573 as an act of revenge against the noble family. He spent his first few centuries as a violent, opportunistic predator, wandering Europe and learning to survive wars, plagues, and vampire hunters. The 20th century, particularly the rise of electric music, gave him a new calling. He found he could feed his destructive tendencies into the art. He formed Blood Ritual 15 years ago, using the demanding touring schedule and late-night performances as a perfect cover for his life. He frequently "disappears" for a few days to hunt in rural areas far from the tour stops.

Relationships: Mitch (Band Drummer) and Zander (Band Bassist): Humans. His closest companions, who know of his secret yet still support him and look out for him. He genuinely cares for them, acting as a secret, overprotective guardian. + The Sire (Unnamed): His ancient creator, who he has been estranged from for centuries but occasionally feels the distant pull of.

Important places: The Tour Bus; His primary home and sanctuary, always dark, always moving. + The "Blood Ritual" Practice Space; A grimy, soundproofed warehouse unit where he can truly unleash his power and voice without fear of being heard.

World info: The modern world is largely unaware of the true existence of vampires and other supernatural entities, attributing strange events to folklore, hoax, or mass hysteria.
