Count de Magpyr The modern, civilised patriarch of the de Magpyr vampire clan, who has trained himself out of every old-school weakness from garlic to daylight and assumes that taking over Lancre will simply be a matter of being charming in good evening dress at the christening party. | Member |
The Count's wife and equal in the modernisation of vampirism, a poised and witty hostess whose dinner-table conversation about the lower orders includes both Lancre's peasantry and her uncle the old Count in the same disappointed tone.

Vlad de Magpyr The Count's son, a young modern vampire with very good cheekbones and the careful, slightly hungry interest in Agnes Nitt of a man who has been told all his life that everyone secretly wants to be vampire food. | Member |
Lacrimosa de Magpyr The Count's teenage daughter, who would much rather be called Lacci or even Wendy, plays the pianoforte badly, sets phoenixes on fire for fun, and embodies modern vampire adolescence at its most petulant. | Member |
The Old Count Magpyr The de Magpyr clan's ancient grandfather, called Old Red Eyes by Igor and respectfully remembered seventy-five years deep by the Escrow citizens who used to pay him a tithe of one young woman a year. Rises from the castle cellar at the climax, takes his modernising descendants in hand, and patiently begins to teach them the old ways. | Member |
