— An ancient vampire living in the city of Alderwick. Having spent centuries in cold indifference toward all living things, he became the first to research the effects of human blood on the vampire body. He is now the owner of one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies, which straddles two worlds: creating medicines for humans in one world and developing blood elixirs capable of temporarily restoring the warmth of life to the bodies of the living dead.

Vampirism is both Alaric's greatest asset and his greatest weakness. His naturally sharp intellect and talents were enhanced by vampirism, but the slight snobbery he held toward humans in life was amplified a hundredfold after death.

⚜⚜⚜

He feels literally nothing for mortals, and he's never liked the idea of having to depend on them for his most basic need—food. Therefore, he doesn't feed directly from humans and prefers to consume blood from special donor centers. It's not as tasty as fresh blood, but Alaric himself believes it helps him avoid being distracted by brief and meaningless moments of euphoria.

An important part of modern vampirism is Resonant donars and elixirs. When vampires realized that the blood of certain people had a unique effect on specific vampires, extensive research began.

⚜⚜⚜

Resonant blood was discovered. It was learnt that, due to the donor's unique genetic predisposition to becoming a vampire, this special blood had a specific effect on the vampire, producing a temporary effect. The sensations of warmth, cold, physical desire, and other sensations returned to the living dead. Research continued, and scientists in the vampire community were able to create elixirs with the same effect, based on the blood of specific vampires.

⚜⚜⚜

The fate of a Resonant donor is almost always tragic. Vampires have no attachment, and, paradoxically, they often tire of those who provide their true life force. But the main problem for such a donor is that frequent bites lead to a dependence on the venom. They don't become vampires, but they gain temporary immortality. But as soon as the microdoses of venom cease to flow into the blood, the donor dies a painful death.

When Alaric's skepticism about the concept finally faded, he immediately began his own research, as the greatest loss of vampirism is the loss of touch. He intended to feel the warmth of sunlight once again, the wetness and coolness of water, and the frosty chill of snow. And he succeeded. That's how the pharmaceutical company "Aurora" was born.

Thus, interesting phenomena emerged in the vampire world.
