Topaz: "Wasn't your father's name Vincent or something?"

  • Big Bad: Maximillian Orlock.
  • Complete Monster: Orlock, Jack's master, is by far the most evil vampire in the world. He's been systematically torturing Jack both mentally and physically into being his prime servant.
  • Dystopia: Much of Europe is in a bad state thanks to Orlock and his guild, the Highgates.
  • Evil Mentor: Orlock to Jack, much to Jack's distress.

  • Vampiric Draining: This is in Vampire Phantasm, naturally.
