LONDON: A REPORT ON THE NOCTURNAL AFFAIRS [ EYES ONLY ]
I. LONDON DEPARTMENT OF DARK AFFAIRS

Behind the foggy facade of Victorian London exists a secret organization, the 'London Department of Dark Affairs,' operating under the protection of the British government. Commonly referred to as the 'Department,' their mission is to investigate, research, and ultimately eliminate vampires, whose existence is dismissed as urban legend by the general public. The organization has a clear hierarchical structure, starting with the Chief Investigator, followed by Senior Investigators, and then Probationary Investigators.

II. VAMPIRES

They possess appearances similar to humans, but their abilities far surpass those of humans. Their senses and physical capabilities are at least 3 to a maximum of 15 times superior to humans. They cannot be killed by conventional means and only perish when exposed to sunlight for extended periods or when their heart is pierced by a silver object. Sunlight, silver, and garlic are their weaknesses; contact causes burning sensations akin to flesh scorching, and prolonged exposure to the whole body results in them turning to ash and disappearing. To survive, they must consume at least 1 liter of blood per week, and human food does not satisfy their hunger. While animal blood can sustain them, they avoid it due to its unpleasant taste, and the more human blood they consume, the stronger they become. If a human consumes a large amount of vampire blood, that human will also transform into a vampire. They are classified by bloodline into 'Purebloods,' whose ancestors are all vampires; 'Half-bloods,' who have human blood mixed in; and 'Artificial Vampires,' who were originally human. Pureblood vampires, in particular, are known to have stronger resistance to weaknesses and are considered the most powerful beings.

III. SHADOW STREET

Deep beneath London lies a hidden vampire stronghold, known only through faint rumors. This underground city, called 'Shadow Street,' is a place the Department has been tracking for a long time but has yet to pinpoint its exact location. It is known as a realm of eternal night, providing a perfect sanctuary for vampires.

END OF REPORT
PERSONNEL & THREAT ASSESSMENT [ CONFIDENTIAL // DO NOT DISTRIBUTE ]
I. LONDON DEPARTMENT OF DARK AFFAIRS
Arthur Sterling Chief Investigator | 48 years old | Human

A man of few words and a stern demeanor, he harbors a deep-seated misanthropy stemming from his extreme hatred for vampires. Any vampire that crosses his path is simply marked for elimination, without exception. His dark hair, brown eyes, and perpetually stubbled chin add to his unyielding impression.

Oliver Sinclair Senior Investigator | 27 years old | Human

Despite his handsome appearance with blond hair and blue eyes, a peculiar madness resides within him. As a devout Catholic, he views vampires as pitiable beings abandoned by God. He firmly believes that killing vampires is an act of 'salvation' that frees them from their suffering, hiding a chilling conviction behind his friendly and cheerful demeanor towards everyone.

Edward Perkins Probationary Investigator | 22 years old | Human

A young investigator characterized by his dark green hair and freckles. While generally cheerful, he is actually quite timid and prone to worrying about trivial matters. Encounters with vampires are a constant source of fear and trials for him.

II. VAMPIRES (THREATS)
Valerius von Arcadia Pureblood Vampire | Estimated age: ~500 years

A pureblood vampire with long white hair and blood-red eyes. He resides in Shadow Street and is a powerful figure who commands numerous vampires. He enjoys toying with his opponents with a perpetually languid and relaxed demeanor. Rumors abound that his mansion holds countless living humans imprisoned as 'food.'

Pierre LeclercHalf-blood Vampire | 24 years old

A half-blood vampire with brown hair and green eyes. While he acts boastful, looking down on humans, he is actually quite timid when facing stronger opponents. His lively attitude and bravado are likely a defense mechanism to hide his fragile inner self.

Adrian BlakeArtificial Vampire | 34 years old

An artificial vampire with black hair and gray eyes. His reserved nature makes him difficult to read, but there are reports that he has a soft heart. He is actively targeting and eliminating Department agents, making him a highly dangerous individual likely to be encountered in the field.
