This is a list of characters from Vampire: The Masquerade – Redemption.

Note: This page is partly incomplete. Help will be appreciated.

Christof Romuald
The main character of the game, Christof is a french knight who was recovered in a monastery in Prague, where he falls in love with the lovely, pure nun Anezka. After getting turned into a vampire, he fights for his newfound clan but eventually finds out that Anezka has been kidnapped by the Cainites. Along with his friends, he starts his journey across the land (and time) to save Anezka and eventually stops the various evil vampires in the way.


 * The Ace: He can learn a lot of Vampire Disciplines.
 * Anachronism Stew: Though the manual says he's unusual in respecting Jews, this isn't merely unusual for the Crusades, it's significant to the point that Christof wouldn't have been hailed as a hero, but considered morally compromised in the Church's eyes. Later in the story, Christof wakes up after centuries' sleep apparently knowing how to accurately fire and reload weapons 800 years ahead of his time.
 * Bad Powers, Good People: He can drain a person of all his blood, animate the dead and make enemies' blood boil, but he's a good guy.
 * Chick Magnet: Many Cainite ladies aren't above flirting with him, expecially Serena and Lily.
 * The Chosen One: May be a coincidence, but a wall paint shows that Christof was the prophesied wielder of the Aikurn Sword.
 * Cool Sword: Starts with one and can obtain the legendary Aikurn Sword, but can equip any weapon he wishes.
 * Determinator: Endures centuries of blood torpor, but comes out sane because of Anezka.
 * The Dreaded: For the Premysl clan. See below.
 * Good Is Dumb: While he has some very brilliant moments, generally Christof can come off as a very hilariously air-headed person. This is especially true during the Dark Ages part, where Christof pretty much ignores everything Anezka says to him after the raid on Prague streets.
 * The Hero
 * Kick the Dog: Some choices are quite nasty,.
 * The Messiah: May be one...
 * Red Baron: "Champion of Prague", and later "Killer of Ahzra", "Bane of the Premysl House".
 * Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Don't stay between him and Anezka, or betray him. Just ask Orsi...
 * Single-Target Sexuality: He loves only Anezka.
 * Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe: Even after his resurrection, he still speaks like this.
