Dracula9 thinks he looks a lot like Voldemort (which I partly agree), but he can attest Voldemort was not once evoked during Olrox' design process.

Indeed.

That's my home boy right there!

The nose doesn't work on Max though. He needs that iconic nosferatu hook nose.

Holy crap, this is looking amazing, guys!  Seriously excited about this project.  *Applauds*

Haha, surely not.

But Plot was wanting something of the kind for our Olrox, and I felt a visual reference would suffice better than any spoken one.

And who better as a base face for editing than the man himself?

Omg olrox looks so cool
Omg the sprites look so cool
Omg carmilla

Anything you can tease about the 3rd General? Is a he or a she?

I can tell some things:

-It's a he.
-On myth and legend, he's not known as a vampire. Here he is a vampire, but there is still a strong connection with his own lore.
-We took bits of things from the series to make them into a single character. This character will retroactively be some of the unnamed entities that have already appeared on the series, having now finally "shown himself".
-He's not as powerful as Olrox and Carmilla, but he still holds command over one of Dracula's "properties".

A lich? Rasputin?

[Foffy]

Googling the image and having it search brings up the words "Russian reversal."

I don't think deep learning is going to help us decipher the mystery.

A lich? Rasputin?

Death himself is very much like a Lich. At least in looks anyways. As for Rasputin, he was assassinated by a British agent and used as a scapegoat which lead to the kick-starting of the Russian revolution.

[theplottwist]

A lich? Rasputin?

Not a Lich. Not Rasputin.

X has a point too. Having a powerful character such as a Lich would be one too-many parallels to Death, though we have Necromancers as minor enemies here.

I don't think deep learning is going to help us decipher the mystery.

It's not so much a mystery as it's that I'm not ready to reveal the character. Though there is a lot planned and a firm idea for him to stand on, I fear it might be a tad too early to speak about him with absolute certainties. All I can say now is that there is a third vampire servant/general of Dracula.

Though IF you guys want, I can tell who it is. But it'll be a bit long before I'm able to show anything about him.

[Dracula9]

No. Let them keep guessing. It amuses me.

[SecretWeapon]

Oh i just said lich and Rasputin because it looked like a jar with a ghostly thing inside like a phylactery and the image search lead said something about soviets haha

[theplottwist]

...like a phylactery...

[Dracula9]

because it looked like a jar with a ghostly thing inside like a phylactery

I will confirm that this is the closest guess thus far as to what the image means.

But I will say no more than that. The rest must be figured out, or Plot will eventually make the reveal. Whichever comes first.
