Vampire

Vampires are a species of Other that flounders due to the rules of the magic system. With their prey protected by the Seal of Solomon, vampires are forced to either hunt for scraps; or take from innocents and accept the bad karma it generates. The original vampires may have found ways to harvest a decent amount of nourishment, but modern vampires are absolutely pitiful. Their bodies are atrophied, their minds deteriorated, and their mythos is constantly adding more weaknesses. <ref>Vampires exist in the classic sense, but in the Pactverse, they're wretched things. They're not the kings and queens of the Pactverse, but the bottom feeders. They may have been decently strong before, but the Seal of Solomon barred their access to humanity and sustenance.
They're strung out meth addicts without a steady supply. Their bodies are long gone, their past relationships destroyed, they have next to nothing, the authorities crack down on them any time they start to figure anything out. They're stupid, ugly, smelly, and weak, and many of the things you've heard about diminish them or bar them, with many other things besides- it's to the point where many new vampires are still discovering new things that screw with them, even 20-30 years after being turned. -Reddit comment by Wildbow</ref>

Some Fae are fond of roleplaying as these wretched beings. They adopt on the best traits of vampires, while mixing in their own.<ref>She can go toe to toe with a faerie that’s glamoured itself up as a vampire, harboring some of the best traits of both, and still cut the thing’s head from its shoulders. - Interlude 10.x</ref>

They are the natural counterpart to Banes.
