Lord Valadon
Former Minister of Finance for the Vampire High Court (VHC), nearly 1200 years old and a Blueblood—a purebred vampire, Valadon is the handsome, mysterious and powerful CEO of ValCorp and leader of the vampires in NYC. However, Valadon's attraction to the human, Miranda Crescent, will cause major conflicts as a Blueblood vampire can only mate with another member of vampire royalty. Yet, Valadon's feelings for Miranda increase with each passing moment.

Leader of the Rogue vampires, he stays mostly in Nightworld, his underground club for outlaw vampires and assorted others.

|
Tristan The youngest member of Valadon's elite fighting force, Tristan is one of the best marksmen in the Torians. His long, ebony hair is often a source of merriment among his other Torians and his demented sense of humor has been known to get him in trouble. His prized possession is his Bugatti motorcycle, but his love affair with a former Torian left deep scars that have yet to heal.
|
Irina A former Russian agent that Remare was able to procure from a brutal vampire lord. In gratitude for her liberty, she has served Valadon as one of his best spies.
