Vampire of Paris

The Vampire of Paris was the name given to the creature that terrified the Montmartre area of Paris in 1895.

It was not a vampire in the true sense, but a creature which gathered energy; much of that energy came from Time. Its main purpose was to seek and locate alternative sources of power for its ship. It had fallen through the same hole in the vortex that Varlos did when he first hid on Earth.

Varlos had witnessed the Vampire's first attack, on Baron De Guerre, and to cover up his own involvement had assumed the identiy of De Gaulle in the hope of hunting the creature down before it drew attention.

The creature continued to gather energy beyond its capacity. With the crew dead on arrival, the creature followed its sole purpose of gathering ever more energy. Without the means to discharge the energy, the creature became unstable. It was eventually returned to the vortex and its pain, loneliness and the madness it has known for so long was brought to an end. (TDL: The Vampire of Paris)
