Katherine

Katherine, also known as the True Ancestor of the Nalkar lineage, is the most powerful vampire of the Nalkar-line. Sanguine had experimented much to make different kinds of vampires, and Katherine was the first vampire of the Nalkar line that ascended to godhood, giving her the title of True Ancestor. She wasn’t actually the first Nalkar vampire, but many believed she was - it was that kind of rumor that appeared and that no one bothered to correct.

She had left during the seventh Era to protect her kin elsewhere as those that remained in the Order were safe due to the presence of Snappy. Back then, they had not been official parts of the Order but were more like the local branches of Dragonflights, closely tied to the Order, but not members. Something that, in retrospect, probably turned out to be a mistake. Once Sanguine fell, the vampires were unassociated with any factions and couldn’t decide on joining one but tried to stay independent. By the time they realized they had needed to be part of something bigger, Vilastromoz had already entered isolation.
