There are few things more dangerous than a violent lunatic, but one of them is an immortal violent lunatic with the strength and speed of a Vampire. Quite what possessed Vlad to bestow Vampirism on the insane Konrad, rather than simply cutting off his head, will never be known. Perhaps Konrad's complete lack of scruples and his tenuous grasp on reality amused the first of the Vampire Counts.

Konrad appointed himself as something of a berserk enforcer for Vlad, executing anyone who displeased the Count. This also included anyone who displeased Konrad. Over time this encompassed many victims, including enemy generals, priests of all descriptions, people with a squint, and several Necromancers that had laughed at Konrad's pitiful magical skills.

When Konrad usurped power after Vlad's death, he took a very different view to Necromancers, and encouraged many to join his entourage. He rewarded them greatly, for though he was barking mad, Konrad was not stupid. He needed the necromancers to raise his armies for him, and while they served him well he guaranteed their safety.

In battle, Konrad would lose all self-restraint. He revelled in the shedding of blood, and was a skilled swordsman. Driven on by a never-ending rage, Konrad led his army more as a bloodthirsty whirlwind than a general, his unconscious will pushing his minions forwards. However, when in this state Konrad was also prone to excessive feeding, and would sometimes stop in the middle of a battle to lick clean his armour and sword, or drink from fallen enemies. It was during one of these vague fits that Konrad was slain by the Dwarf Thane Grufbad and the Elector Count Helmar.
