A vampire

In folklore, a vampire is an undead humanoid creature that subsists by feeding on the blood of the living.

History

A similar creature was encountered by the Assassins in 1870's London, where a Wallachian nobleman committed a series of gruesome murders while wearing the Ring of Blood, though he managed to escape before the Brotherhood could confront him. Some members of the Brotherhood followed the culprit, journeying to Transylvania. Near his castle, the vampire attacked his pursuers, but they managed to overpower him and kill him. As he fell to the ground, the monstrous visage of a vampire faded to reveal a normal human with the Ring of Blood on his finger before the body dissolved into ash.

In 2016, during a meeting at Aleksandr Omovich's villa in London, Dr. Zixuan Long activated the Ring of Blood using his assistant, who underwent an illusory transformation into a vampire and, under the control of the Staff of Seth, carried out a massacre in the mansion. A homeless man interviewed by local news reported to have witnessed "the devil" leaving the villa and flying into the night. At the British Museum, where the Ring of Sand was being shown, Dr. Long once again controlled his vampiric assistant, though this time the Assassins managed to stop her and take the ring for themselves, after which her vampire form faded.

In 2020, the Assassin Layla Hassan modified her Animus while reliving the Viking Eivor Varinsdottir's genetic memories to include a weapon pack inspired by vampire legends.
