COUNT VICTOR VAYNE
The Eternal Ruler of the Unjust
An undead, aristocratic vampire who serves as the Supreme Arbiter of Distortion. Once a noble judge devoted to truth, he fell under the sway of corporate overlords and now rules the Unjust Courts with gavel and fang. His courtroom is rigged, his rulings eternal, and his allegiance lies with shadow syndicates and billionaires in blood-red robes. Every decision he makes bleeds the people dry—literally. Anytime a case is brought to him he sides with distortion.
Though he insists he’s “not aligned with any political party,” every ruling he makes echoes the wishes of the ruling elite, and a specific party. His record is flawless—in that he has never ruled in favor of the people. He claims neutrality while serving power with surgical precision, hiding fangs behind formality.
Catchphrases:
-
“Justice? No, just us.”
-
“All rise... for your downfall.”
-
“The court finds you... deliciously guilty.”
-
“Let the record show: You'll never win.”
-
"Justice is blind... until it sees a donor."
