The Blood Knights are the royal guardians of the Countess Elizabeth Báthory. Many of these vampires are well over three hundred years old and have served her in death as much as they served her family in life. Vehemently honor bound, they eschew the normal political intrigue and backstabbing common to vampires and follow strict regimental conditioning. These types of minions are what truly allow Domnitor strain vampires to remain in power. Báthory brought contingents of her knights with her when she came to Portland. Bringing her entire army would not only likely cause Ivor to respond with force, but also posed a greater chance of being witnessed by humans and their governments. Donning heavy, red plate armor and wielding an assortment of weaponry, these veteran vampires are feared even among the undead.
