Demitri Maximoff

Personality: Demitri Maximoff is a villainous and power-hungry vampire who, like Dracula, sees humanity as an inferior race and only cares for their blood. His favorite type of blood is from innocent and beautiful girls, who seem to be loyal to Demitri and admire him (although this could be the work of hypnosis, as most vampires are capable of such ability). His preferred blood type to consume is AB. He also prefers blood from virgins.

Demitri seems to value beauty, for his Darkstalkers 3 taunt, he can be seen spraying himself with perfume while posing to admire his appearance. He also has respect for strong opponents and finds anyone he personally deems interesting enough to be one of his servants as seen in SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos.

In other portrayals particularly in the western cartoon series, he also seems to respect his fellow vampires such as Dracula, the king of vampires, and is an enemy of the vampire-hunting Van Helsing clan.

Appearance: Demitri is a tall and muscular man. He has a brown pointy hair and has red eyes. He wears a blue tailcoated jacket over a red muscle shirt with a white scarf, blue tight pants, brown boots and a red & blue cape.

Powers and Abilities Demitri is one of the most formidable vampires in the Darkstalkers series, ranking second only to Dracula in the US cartoon adaptation. His power is evident from his fierce battle with Belial, whom he challenged despite ultimately losing due to his own arrogance. Over the years, he has grown stronger by drinking human blood and gaining knowledge through history, making him wiser since his conflict with Belial. Demitri possesses several abilities: he can turn others into vampires under his control, summon supernatural bats to attack his enemies, transform into a vampire or small bat, fly through the night, and use the Midnight Bliss technique to turn opponents—whether human or supernatural—into women.

Weakness Like most vampires, Demitri relies on blood to boost his strength, meaning his power is limited by his blood supply. He has an aura that offers some protection from daylight on cloudy days, but this depends on his overall power. Similar to traditional vampires, if his body is exposed to sunlight, the heat will damage his body and can

A Makai noble, Demitri Maximoff lives in a castle deep within the mountains of Romania that only appears during a full moon. The castle is named after the owner of the land, Zeltzereich. Roughly 100 years ago, he had challenged Berial Aensland. He lost the battle and was exiled from Makai to the human world with his castle. Sunlight was something that was troublesome for people of Makai, especially for Demitri, who was wounded severely from his battle with Berial. If he were to be directly exposed, his body would be destroyed from the inside and he would disappear.

To avoid the sunlight and humans, he used what he had left of his powers and created a field to cover his castle. He used this field to recover his strength and heal his wounds. For 50 years, he stayed within his casket. As he slowly regained his strength, he would step out only once a full moon put a shield around his body. By this time, there were already people that would wander into the castle. They would somehow hear rumors of treasure's within the castle. They would bring crosses, stakes, garlic, holy water and silver bullets thinking they were safe and recklessly attack Demitri. Demitri couldn't help but smile as such weapons had no effect on him. To Demitri, humans were a low class vulgar race, but he enjoyed their blood. He enjoyed the blood of innocent girls the most. To him, it was like drinking the best wine in Makai. Those who had their blood sucked by Demitri had their body and soul poisoned with evil.They would become loyal servants to Demitri. Currently, 40 people settle in Demitri's castle and care for him.

When Demitri recovered 80% of his original power, he was able to temporarily create an aura around him that would protect him from sunlight. Demitri had conquered both night and day and had no weaknesses. There were no means for humans to defeat him. After 100 years of humiliation for his loss, he had gained a lot. He acquired various new abilities and knowledge. The Prince of Darkness steadily readied himself to take over Makai once again.

The presence of an alien life form on Earth was an unexpected event for Demitri. Demitri seized this opportunity to further gain strength and fought against Pyron and consumed the alien life form. He was confident that he was strong enough to challenge and defeat the ruler of Makai, Berial.

When he returned to Makai, he found out that Berial had died and his daughter, Morrigan, had become heir to the Aensland family and the ruler of Makai. As Demitri prepared himself to challenge Morrigan, he and his castle were sucked into the Majigen by Jedah. Believing that defeating Jedah was an important step, he went off to face Jedah.
