Basic Info

Marshall, also known as "The Crimson Prince", is one of the oldest members of the Order of the White Duke. Due to the Order's diminishing over history due to the efforts of Byzantium, he also happens to be one of the only members of the Order, even managing to survive the onslaught of the Order by former member, Jacques.

Born to African royalty in the 16th century, Marshall was the prince of a deeply rich and cultured African kingdom. Highly arrogant and above himself, Marshall, then known as Prince Kayemba thought of himself as a living god due to his massive power and fortune. During a diplomatic tour to Europe, which was more of an excuse to flaunt his wealth and riches, Prince Kayemba met a Transylvanian nobleman who referred to himself as "Alucard Tepes." After a dispute started to brew between the two nobles, caused mostly on the part of Prince Kayemba's arrogance, the Transylvanian nobleman revealed himself to be none other than Count Dracula, killing the rest of the members of Kayemba's convoy and changing Kayemba into a vampire himself, just barely leaving him with enough blood to survive.

Powerless to stop Count Dracula as he robbed the him of all his worldly possessions and his livelihood, the disgraced former prince was left with absolutely nothing on his name, with no way back home, and the rest of his kingdom believing that he had died with the rest of his travelling convoy.

Hiding in an empty cave located near a large European town the former Prince became a figure of legend and horror among the local townspeople, who believed him to be some sort of monster who rampaged throughout the city, tormenting the people in search of blood. Unfortunately, this was true. The transformation had taken a huge toll on him, turning him from an sophisticated member of foreign nobility to a bloodthirsty monster from the tales.

Throughout the decades, stories of the "Shadow Demon" spread throughout the lands, to the point where the legend caught wind of the Order itself. Sending a team of bounty hunters to scout out this creature, The Order came up lucky when they discovered the former prince feasting upon the blood of one of the town guards. Armed with special weaponry, they were able to incapacitate and subdue the former prince without any major casualties. They took the man back to one of their many safe-houses and observed him, realizing that he was just like the rest of them, albeit from a much far-away land. Seeing potential in the man, The Order treated the former prince with outstanding care over the years, to the point where the now reformed vampire prince joined the Order himself as one of its elites, being given the special title "The Crimson Prince".

Flash forward to present day. The former prince, now calling himself "Marshall", is one of the highest ranking members of The Order, and respected by all its members due to his infinite wisdom and experience. The years as a member of the exclusive order have humbled him greatly, and despite his age and past, he is known to have a sense of humor, albeit one that is rather deadpan.

Due to his long lifespan as a vampire, Marshall's thirst for blood has subsided over the years, to the point where it has become a simple craving than an actual compulsion. His craving for blood is quenched by donated supplements from the blood bank, and if that's not available, he settles for a glass of red wine, claiming that it's a good enough substitute. An immortal vampire, Marshall has the abilities of superhuman strength, some level of invulnerability, increased agility and stealth, and the rest of the traditional standard vampire powers. This, along with the typical Order training, makes him a great force to be reckoned with.
