Alaric Saltzman

Alaric J. "Ric" Saltzman is an extremely powerful, yet relatively young, human-born vampire and a close friend and father figure to the Emperor himself. He met the Emperor back when he was known as Damian Wayne when the youth attended the magical Academy of Unseen Arts, where Alaric worked as a teacher, during which time he quickly came to form a close bond with the younger male, who later convinced Ric to join him in his quest for world domination.
