Manes

Manes is the thirteenth Count of Sirmion and the son and heir of Constans in the story "Traditions."

When his father was killed by a vampire, Manes decided he would put an end to the family tradition of death by vampire and set off on a quest accompanied by the minstrel Valerian.

When Manes left Castle Sirmion, his father was freshly dead and he left behind a six year old son and heir.
