History[]

Captain Constanta was the leader of a squad of Romanian soldiers who worked alongside German units in World War II. Unfortunately for their allies, Constanta and his men were also vampires whose natural tendency was not to distinguish between victims when they wanted a spot of lunch. Costanta seemingly died thanks to an investigator who found the diary of German soldier Hans Schmitt years after the war and staked him, but it's hard to keep a good vampire down and he has since returned several times.
