Minerva Teresku

The mischievous and promiscuous Lady Minerva Teresku, doesn't care to remember life from before her time as a vampire, nor does she care much for the present state of the world. Her eyes are on the future, the next thrill, the next conquest, the next discovery. It's how she combats the boredom of eternity. Humans, so short lived and vibrant, are a bit of an addition and not just for their life-giving blood. They have other interesting qualities.

Despite being one of the oldest vampires still operating in society, Lady Teresku has turned most of her duties over to her protege Kathello while she embarks on her adventure of mortal dalliance. The more of them brought under the Teresku thrall, the more likely her family name can maintain its authority in the council.

She is impatient to the point of brattiness, but one should not dare to insult a being of such power and nobility. She is self-confident to the point of haughtiness. And she doesn't hesitate to use her power of hypnosis to bring any susceptible victims to her side where she will keep them as long as she finds them amusing.

Although she doesn't represent any of the political factions within the Vampiric world order, she does find the new generation of vampires that wish to live in peace with humans an interesting diversion. Far better than the dominancy crazed Purists or the boring Traditionalists, she considers Coexistence faction as bright and creative and not to be summarily dismissed just because of their youth.
