The dire background to Vampire Lord de Scales.... Born in the outer islands of Albion to a family of wealthy merchants, young De Scales had the opportunity to travel to Altdorf for a University education at the World famous Altdorf University. It came to pass, on a "Grand Tour" of the Old World one vacation the young de Scales ended up in Sylvania, where through fortune or perhaps misfortune he was a guest of the von Carstein family of infamy....How he came to be dubiously blessed by the "gift" of Vampirism is not known, it is said that Isabella always kept a watchful eye on her young visitor. De Scales then disappeared for a number of years, only to turn up unexpectedly at the Battle of the Four Armies where unknown to him he was facing his brothers in the servitude of the Reiksguard. Escaping into the forests after the battle,despite his brothers efforts to find him and mercifully put him out of his "misery" of Vampirism. He spent many lonely years mastering the darker arts of Necromancy and forging his potent sword "Banemaster". To date he resides there still, growing in power, occasionly foraying into the Old World to capture peasants to reanimate and waiting for the return of his patrons the von Carsteins so that he can take his rightful place at the right hand of the ruling von Carstein of Sylvania, and who knows, one day he may even have greater ambition...

Lord de Scales is a normal Vampire Lord but must always have his sword "Banemaster" as one of his magic items.

"Banemaster" is a magic weapon of my own creation, giving the user +2s or +2a. You CANNOT have both you must declare which aspect you will use at the beginning of the h-t-h combat phase. Cost 100 pts.
