Standing silently off to the side here is a tall pale looking Human.
Easily missed, this quiet man is dressed in moderate clothing which is as
faded and ripped as any typical material that is well maintained would. He
stands average height for a human of his age and looks to be well feed but
not over-weight. The only describing feature to speak of on this man is his
very interesting hair style. His hair is cut short and to very straight
points along the sides all the way from back to front, looking like a
lightning bolt which is accented by the streaks of grey down the sides of
his head. Overall had it not been for his hair you likely would never have
noticed him.
He has begun to do some traveling.

I think pip said that Tzakrid was a gift from Davairus or something.
Before pip calls me out for possible slander... I think he probably meant that Davairus granted him the opportunity to be a vampire, not that he was given the character without having to work at it. I've only seen logs of Tzakrid and Wuilian, and know quite a bit about their powers.
I'd say they're a combination of a shaman, dark-knight, and illusionist. Like a shaman, they have some maledictions which dark-knights do not (though not real healing), they have some of the skills of a dark-knight as a base (plus they're mostly physical), and like the illusionist they have a way to hide from the casual observer (batform instead of shadowform).
But, they do have their weaknesses. I'd not really want to play one because of some of them (not going to list them in order to preserve the mystique).
Any time frame to when vampires will be available again?
I'd be disappointed if the next vampire is *just* a bloodsucker who also has any semblance of skill. From what I've seen in logs and heard about, Tzakrid was a silent killer. Not exactly original from the PKing standpoint, but it seems clear that words were not necessary for Tzakrid. There's many ways to do the vampire thing, and although I can think of all kinds of ideas which would be great in a book, I think you should have to put in some effort.
I might even write another book, this one about vampires which do not exist but which serve as examples of what they might be like.
