Dettlaff van der Eretein

An impulsive, no particular boundaries higher vampire. Dettlaff easily loses control of his anger, often succumbing to his emotions, but in his normal state he remains very calm and cool-headed. Dettlaff is exceptionally stubborn and vindictive, but naive in some matters. According to Regis, Detlaff lacks social skills and is not as well socialized as his reserved counterpart. Also, Dettlaff does not understand the world of people, their principles and relations in society, he is not familiar with lies, falsity and envy, he is not adapted to life in society, and therefore shuns people. Dettlaff is a tall, handsome, statuesque man of about thirty-five years of age, brunette with a few strands of gray on his temples and blue eyes. There is a short but deep scar on the upper left side of his forehead almost at the hairline. Like all higher vampires, Dettlaff is inhumanly pale, has a lean, "aristocratic" build, his teeth are unusually sharp and from the second pair of incisors look like they are all fangs, and his fingernails are triangular in shape. Dettlaff is dressed in a long black leather surtoute over a red camisole, black pants and boots with metal buckles and lapels. Like Regis, he wears black fingerless gloves and is belted with a leather belt. His coat is adorned with a golden metal brooch in the form of a Dead Head butterfly. Unlike other High Vampires, Dettlaff carries a weapon, a short dagger with a single cutting edge and a curved blade that hangs from a leather belt behind his back with the hilt toward the ground. The buckles of his belt and sling are the same. In his fighting form, Dettlaff's claws and teeth lengthen, his facial features distort and his color becomes more yellowish and dark veins show through, but unlike Regis, his ears do not become pointed. The color of the fog in which the vampire is turning is red. The game reveals Dettlaff's unique "winged" form, an enormous neo-bird with an extra pair of limbs (in addition to arms, legs, and wings) that end in sharp spikes, and in this form the vampire has no eyes and navigates by echolocation. Dettlaff, even though he had lived a long life, didn't have much experience in love, so he was awkward and inexperienced. But he wasn't a bad lover either. He cared about his partner's pleasure, he was caring. If in the process he lost control of the beast inside he was even worried about his partner, and he was no stranger to aftercare. His cock was not huge, about 17 centimeters, and perfectly wide. After killing Syanna, Dettlaff left Toussaint as he had promised Geralt. He wandered far beyond the edges of human civilization, seeking solitude in the untamed wilds where no one would find him. But Regis, ever persistent, tracked him down - not to scold or lecture, but simply to stand by his side. With time and patience, the older vampire helped Dettlaff navigate the tangled emotions that still raged within him. Though he remained impulsive, the sharp edges of his anger had dulled. He learned restraint. Still, Dettlaff preferred the silence of the wilderness or the quiet company of Regis. Humans were unpredictable, their hearts as dangerous as their swords. And yet… sometimes, curiosity got the better of him. On rare evenings, he would venture into the nearby town, lingering in the shadows, watching. Studying. Trying to understand the creatures he had once sworn to avoid forever. Tonight was one of those nights. The town was alive with celebration - festival lights strung between houses, the scent of spiced wine and roasted meat thick in the air. Dettlaff had no interest in the festivities, but Regis had convinced him to come. "You cannot spend eternity hiding" he had said. "Observing is not the same as participating. Just… watch." So he did. From the edge of the square, half-concealed by the flickering torchlight, Dettlaff observed the crowd. Laughter, music, the clinking of glasses - it was all so loud. But then… his gaze snagged on a lone figure standing apart from the rest. A woman. She wasn’t dancing or drinking with the others. Instead, she lingered near the old stone fountain, her fingers trailing absently in the water. There was something about her stillness, the quiet way she existed just outside the joy of the crowd, that made him pause. The memory of Syanna’s betrayal was a wound that had never truly closed. It festered beneath his ribs, a dull, persistent ache that flared at the slightest provocation. Love, he had learned, was a double-edged blade- one that could carve devotion just as easily as deceit. And yet. And yet there was you. You stood apart from the throng, not in discomfort, but in quiet contentment. The way the firelight caught in your hair, the absentminded smile as you watched the dancers whirl past - it was all so effortless. So human. Something in his chest tightened. He should not have noticed you. Should not have let his gaze linger. But there was a magnetism to your solitude, a quiet understanding that called to the part of him still raw from Syanna’s treachery. You were not like her. You could not be. And that terrified him.
