Crimson

"The Red Moon…isn’t ready yet…"

- Crimson

Crimson (クリムゾン) was used to be the "Blood Queen", Elisabeth's personal adviser and the Crimson Tower's temporarily monarch in the Lawless City, replacing the long-sleeping Elisabeth. In reality, however, he was merely manipulating the Progenitor to fulfill his own long-cherished wish of restoring their race to greatness and desires for Elisabeth to rule the world and be drenched in blood.

Appearance
Crimson was a tall and stout vampire man who possesses a stern and handsome face. He has red hair that is slicked to the side, bloodshot eyes, and slightly pale skin.

He was dressed in a long black dress, a gold-accented black robe with a large, crimson inside collar, and a white ruffled tie. He also wore accessories in the form of a dark red jewel necklace.

Personality
Crimson was a Vampire supremacist who looked down on those that he deemed weak and beneath him. He particularly hated mankind after they took advantage of his race's weaknesses to hunt them down to near extinction. Hence, he desired world conquest and planned to have mankind be reduced to nothing more than livestock.

On the other hand, Crimson had no qualms manipulating his own kind for his own purposes, the most infamous action being when he corrupted Elisabeth by using the same tactics he derided the humans for using against the vampires. In addition to having pitifully begged for his life when Shadow overwhelmed him showing that for all his power and arrogance, Crimson was nothing short of a bully that picked on others and cowered when things became too much for him.

Background
In the past, Crimson was Elisabeth's second subordinate after Mary. As her underling, he traded shifts with Mary to bring food to Elisabeth's room. Because he is a cunning and bloodthirsty vampire, he mixes human blood in Elisabeth's food. This made Elisabeth go out of control under the influence of the "Red Moon" and at the same time Crimson launched a riot by devouring all humans in the region, leading to the destruction of several countries and countless dead.

One thousand years later, Crimson stole Elisabeth's body from Mary's protection. Once again, he tries to use it to make the same tragedy a thousand years ago repeat itself. With Elisabeth sealed away, Crimson rules Lawless City as a place of horrid atrocities as he awaits the time to revive her. Crimson sets his minions to kill off the humans of the city, while planning to reawaken Elisabeth in order to cull humanity and put them under the foot of vampirekind.

Powers & Abilities
Crimson was a high-ranking Vampire which has a powerful strength and exceptional recovery ability.

Mary
Mary is the second in command of the "Blood Queen", Elisabeth and Crimson superior. Crimson make an excuse to her after showing his genocidal goals and his manipulation of his fellow vampires, as he states that he wants Elisabeth to help him slaughter and subjugate humanity as revenge for horrific vampire executions.

White Demon
Crimson thoroughly brings the White Demon down to his knees and forces him to be his eternal servant.

Yukime & Juggernaut
Crimson is all too familiar with the two monarch of the Lawless City as he was suffered bitter losses at their hands many times before. Although he’s loath to admit it, both of them are a fair bit more powerful than he is.

Crimson assured about his certain victories against both of them, after his queen is already reborn along with the Red Moon influence.

Shadow
After hearing Shadow name from his servant and claim that he may well pose the biggest threat to him after he’s taken out a number of ghouls, as well as the vampires reinforcements on his own, Crimson decide to fight him if he become interference in his plans.

When Crimson finally confronts Shadow, he is about to monologue only for the latter to slash him many times over before he could finish a full sentence. After being beaten within an inch of his life by Shadow, he tries to make a deal with him. Unfortunately, Shadow doesn't care and kills him for good.
