![]() ![]() Despite his origins, he rose high in vampyric society, having frequent contact with Vanescula and Ranis Drakan, and became a well-known figure in the Sanguinesti Region.Īt some point, Vanstrom became occupied with the eradication of Safalaan Hallow, a second-in-command within the Myreque, an underground resistance movement in Morytania, and son of the legendary Icyene Queen Efaritay and his human self. An unknown time later Ascertes was vampyrised by Drakan, becoming Vanstrom Klause. Ascertes was captured after Drakan and his forces tunnelled into the Icyene palace from the Icyene graveyard, and he was held hostage to force Efaritay's surrender and subsequent continued captivity. Vanstrom was originally Ascertes Hallow, the human husband of Queen Efaritay Hallow, the Icyene queen of Hallowland. While infiltrated in the Myreque, Vanstrom was disguised a bearded man, and he as a - shaven - one in brown clothes while in the Hair of the Dog. In vyre form, he had a pitch black skin with a similar piece of gold-trimmed red clothing, in addition to a golden piece of cloth hanging from his waist. He wore dark crimson clothing with exquisite gold ornaments and a brown cloak, with dark trousers and sandals. Vanstrom had a blue-grey skin with red markings on his head, horns, and a split black beard. Veliaf Hurtz calls him arrogant as a result of his power. In the company of the Drakans or Tenebra, Vanstrom would be more servile, ensuring that his status was kept intact. ![]() He is a master of manipulation, having tricked the Myreque for years by shapeshifting into a human. For instance, upon finding the hideout of the Myreque beneath The Hollows, he summoned a skeleton to kill the Myreque rather than finishing the job himself. Finally, Vanstrom was able to summon bloodveld to aid him in combat at will.Ĭruel and unforgiving, Vanstrom would take delight in his opponents' suffering, although he would occasionally be overconfident of his plans' succeeding. He had powers over the undead, to a certain degree, and the vampyres' innate mind-reading ability, making Blisterwood his only real weakness. He also possessed superhuman strength and dexterity, traits that would be preserved upon changing appearance. Like all fully fledged vampyres, Vanstrom was a capable shapeshifter, and had access to exceptionally powerful blood and shadow magic. Vanstrom is fight-able as a class X1 boss monster in the Dominion Tower minigame if the player has completed The Branches of Darkmeyer. He serves as the boss for The Branches of Darkmeyer and uses a variety of powerful attacks. One of the main antagonists of the Myreque quest series, Vanstrom appears in several quests as well as the novels Return to Canifis and Legacy of Blood. According to Rory, he is responsible for all tithings in Morytania, but this is doubtful as Malak governs Canifis, for example. Vanstrom had a large mansion in the most respected region of Darkmeyer where he kept his pet bloodveld Harold. ![]() He is the most infamous opponent of the Myreque resistance movement, infiltrated in their ranks to find one of their lieutenants, Safalaan Hallow, and is responsible for the murders of at least three members, and several more indirectly. Vanstrom Klause, formerly Ascertes Hallow, was a very powerful upper-class human-born vampyre and one of the most dangerous henchmen of House Drakan.
