    If you’re immortal and can’t get your hands on a castle or 2 then what are you doing with your infinite time?

      It’s a skill issue by the 2nd or 3rd generation you live through, honestly.

      If you’re immortal

      Yeah can’t find any stories that don’t have him alive for hundreds of years before the castle.

      You know, there’s probably a movie in that somewhere…

      Dracula beginnings.

      Wife dies, leads him to learning dark arts, accidentally turns himself into a vampire instead of reanimating his wife, he works his way up through the aristocracy as an assassin, slowly grows tired of humanity, perhaps a little evil, and slowly kills/controls his way into the aristocracy.

        Castlevania vibes. I’m not sure any have an origins story for him, but I did get the impression that he was ancient from the show and had accumulated more knowledge in his libraries than humanity had in all the libraries of the world.

        Speaking only for myself, within a year of being turned into a vampire if I want a castle I’m getting a castle.

      “I had a castle, then I got ruined in the S&L collapse in the 80s. I did eat a few of those bankers, though.”
