The Eldest in Blood
Before the breaking, Godwin Flamel was nothing. And then he became a vampire. He saw a brief opportunity to gain strength and freed Nakhotet, the great vampire in exchange for power and blood. He spent some time learning the new secrets of his vampiric strength and then killed his sire, trapping his body in the darkest corners of his umbral territory. Godwin occasionally travels to these depths to siphon fresh blood from this body to consume.
With this new power and the territory he seized, he declared himself a king. He made occasional forays to seize and enslave mortals, dragging them down into the Umbral to attend to his every need, to appease his vanity and to sate his various pangs of hunger.
Godwin is a genteel sophisticate, a man of immaculate tastes and the height of nobility. But that is only half of his nature. Godwin Flamel is also a monster, a wild beast with his passions elevated to feral wrath. So feral has he become that the entire identity of vampires has changed. They are now far more bestial, mixing with tainted animal spirits to attain power. He has some degree of control over this feral nature, but he is unpredictable. A simple misstep can turn someone speaking with Godwin Flamel into the next victim of his hunger.
