Abraham Setrakian

• Badass Grandpa: Notable for being a vampire hunter even to his old age.
• Cool Old Guy

Augustin "Gus" Elizalde

• Badass Normal: For a street punk, he does a pretty good job surviving the vampire plague.
• Cain and Abel: His relationship with his brother, Felix, is not a good one, but this trope is played more straightforward when Felix is turned into a vampire and Gus is forced to kill him.
• Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: He never stops caring for his mother. Not even when she becomes a vampire.
• Jerk With a Heart of Gold
• Hot-Blooded
• Gang-Bangers
• Unwitting Pawn: In the sequel, The Ancients manipulate him into becoming their agent.

The Master

• Arch Enemy: To Abraham Setrakian.
• Ax Crazy: Even compared to the other Ancients.
• Badass Grandpa: Manages a particularly cool moment where he escapes the main party out a window into direct sunlight, where (while burning) he calmly removes his cloak, gives a roar, and escapes. Granted it took a while for him to heal, but damn.
• Big Bad
• Body Horror: Even more than the other vampires, since his host was suffering from gigantism.
• The Chessmaster
• Complete Monster
• Genius Bruiser
• Hive Queen
• Monster Lord
• The Virus

Vasiliy Fet
