Crisis

Crisis is the First Vampire, and the Demon Lord of the Undead Class.

Carolus Caro
Crisis, originally known as Carolus Caro, was one of the three great human generals, he was known for commanding the Crusaders, his elite group of warriors, during the war for existence. He was the General sent to Arcadian to kill the Great Demon Lord Cretin. During the siege Carolus lost hundreds of his best men, but still he was successful, he accomplished his mission, in part. It was discovered that they did not have the means to fully kill the Cretin, not without first killing the other 6 Demon Lords first. Because of this Carolus order the Cretin be dismembered, the enormous Cretin was divided into 200 pieces, chained in mansion sized boxes and hidden in amongst the known dimensions.

After the defeat of the Cretin, the demon forces fell, the gods were released from their prisons. Humanity now without a purpose any more, broke off into small caravans and spread out amongst the known dimensions. Cranex a warrior of DerBarothet had noticed Carolus superior talents, as compared with all other humans. One night Cranex sent a small group of Crykial demons to capture Carolus, after a chase through the forest they captured him. Carolus was chained to a cave wall and tortured for days, eventually Cranex used his powers to merge demon blood into Carolus body, originally he though him dead, and ordered the body to be disposed of.

While being carried away by the Crykial demons, Carolus awoke. He fed on one of the Crykial demons and gained the strength to slaughter them, and punished Cranex. As well as discovering he now possessed the physical strength to battle five Crykial demons single handedly, he also discovered that he was no longer weighed down with a soul, he no longer felt bad about killing, he was free, and he wanted the try human blood.

Crisis
When Crisis was born, he made it a point to sever all ties to his human life, as he knew he could not return to it, not that he would want to know. He slaughtered everyone in the camp where his family were staying, of everyone there he spared only his brother Marcus, who he turned into the Vampire Mordax. After this, Crisis and Mordax became the scourge of the known dimensions, for ten thousand years they terrorised the civilised dimensions. During this time the Vampire condition spread like a plague, their numbers multiplied from 2 into the millions over just a few thousand years.

Eventually Crisis and Mordax were captured by human hunters and taken to the king of Edia, the capital of the human empire. Crisis and Mordax were tortured for weeks, deprived of blood, in the end when all hope was lost they staked Mordax, ageing him thousands of years in mere seconds, then turning him to dust. Before the executioner carried out Crisis execution, he leaned in to whisper in his ear, this gave Crisis the opportunity to drain his blood and gain the strength to escape from his bonds, Crisis laid waste to all of the hunters in their sleep and slaughtered the empire's leaders, dissolving the human empire into its individual cities and worlds.

50 million years later Crisis was approached by Baroth to become the Demon Lord of the Undead Class, Crisis passed his trials with some effort and joined the ranks of the Demon Lords. Crisis first trial was a test of patience, waiting for the perfect time to attack. Crisis second trial was a test of strategy, he was tasked with killing a Vortach Demon, a near impossible creature to kill, unarmed. The trial of pain was the third trial, and Crisis had to endure incredible pain for as long as possible, Crisis however decided on a different course of action, he broke free from his bonds and instead brutally slaughtered the demons tasked with his torture. The final trial was called the trial of death, Crisis was stripped of his superhuman prowess and tasked him with surviving a week in a darkened city, alone, no weapons or blood, being hunted by brainwashed Vampires.

Shortly after this Crisis was tasked with impregnating the only female Demon Lord, Necrocretin. The idea was to create an incredibly powerful demon offspring to take on the mantel of the Demon Lord of the Mixed Class. The birth took a gestation period of 50,000 years, and the child's name was chosen by Crisis, he named the child Mayhem.

20 million years later Crisis encountered a small village in a very dense forest, this village housed a very powerful warlock family, led by the powerful, Bal Cod. Crisis tortured Bal, he killed his family, slaughtered the majority of the town and left only five young girls alive, as he knew exactly what Bal would do with them. In doing this he was able to trick Bal into sacrificing the five young girls. Unbeknownst to Bal however, the girls were tainted by Crisis, no longer being pure, their essence corrupted him and turned him into the demon Balthazar.

Somewhere around 10 million years later, Crisis Sired a young girl by the name of Sophie, and for the next 8 million years she travels with Crisis, as his concubine.

8 million years later, Crisis having grown quite bored of the perfect woman, and the greatest nights of his existence, sacrifices her to hell itself. The reason for this was unclear, as Crisis showed more emotion towards her than any other creature, since his humanity. The consequences of this are revealed a few thousand years later, when Crisis meets Eiphos on one of his routine trips to hell, needless to say that Eiphos was not happy to see him, and now, Crisis must avoid hell (in all its forms) to avoid the eternal punishment that Eiphos has in stall for him.

Carolus Caro
As a human, Carolus was in peek physical condition and an expert in both hand to hand and melee combat, he also possessed a unique ability, enhanced sight. It is unsure if this ability is somehow mystical or just a natural evolution, or simply a skill he had developed. It enables him to survey an entire area within a second, such as selecting the locations of a dozen enemies within a small area.

He is also capable of aiming a bow, or a ballista with far more accuracy than any other human. His enhanced eyesight also adds to his combat skill, as he can quickly survey bodily muscle movements and deduce their next attack.

Crisis
As a representative for the Demon Hierarchy, Crisis is afforded an incredible degree of strength when compared with other Vampires, and most demons. Crisis, due to his age, is knowledgeable about many things, but like a younger Vampire he can be impulsive and loose control of his temper. As well as his status as one of the 19 demon lords of the Hierarchy, Crisis is also a member of the inner circle of the Order of Sins, existing within the over all Hierarchy. Within the Inner Order of Sins, Crisis represents Wrath, because of his violent history.

Crisis is considered an oddity by some of his fellow Vampires, as he only turns humans who he considers worthy of joining him. Because of this, in the 60 Million years of his being a Vampire, he has only turned thirteen humans into Vampires, and because of their proximity to the progenitor of the Vampire race, they all share a far greater degree of strength and agility than is usually common for Vampires.

As the progenitor of the Vampire race and the demon lord of the Undead, Crisis commands a tremendous amount of respect from those he rules over. Because of this he has been raised from the dead by his servants several times, once by his son (Mayhem), and mostly by his girls (Fate, Chelsea, Sazuki).

Crisis also spent a great deal time in Japan, during 900 BC. Training with Grendark demons, he learned their strengths and their weaknesses, and their martial arts skill. He also learned how to sense their teleports, as this is a Grendark demons primary ability, making it him able to fight on equal footing with them, he is also able to use his enhanced sight, from when he was human, to work out what position they will re-materialise in, enabling him to know whether to block a kick or a punch.

Weaknesses
As a Vampire Crisis is susceptible to daylight, being turned into ash within seconds of entering the suns rays. He also has a weakness to holy items, as do all demons, he cannot set foot in a church, touch a cross or anything considered holy. He must also be invited into a home before he can cross the threshold.

Crisis can also, like all other Vampires be killed by a stake to the heart, beheading or fire. Other than physical weaknesses, Crisis also has a strong bond with those he has turned into Vampires, especially, Fate, Chelsea and Sazuki, he would willingly sacrifice himself to save them if the need would call for it.

Carolus Caro
Carolus was a young man in his physical prime, he tended to wear very thin and tight fitting, yet highly durable and light armor, it was well used and the pattern on it became faded towards the end of the war, he also usually wore a cape that would cover his would body, also concealing his trademark Tanto swords. Carolus was scruffily shaven and had thick black hair.
