Those inflicted by the curse will slowly change, their noses elongating, their skin becoming deathly pale, their eyes becoming larger, black and unblinking, their teeth falling out only to be replaced by fangs, their mind slowly subsuming to delusions and madness, still believing they are human. Hidden under a thin layer of fake sophistication and nobility, they are mad beasts with an insatiable thirst for blood.

Manservants were once servants who served as personal attendants to the Nobles at the Courtyard. Like buzzing insects in a busy hive, they carried around trays of delicacies, refilling glasses of blood-red wine and attending to the needs of their masters. When the Crimson Curse took root in the Courtyard and infected those of Noble Blood, it was only a matter of time before the curse trickled down to those that served them. Now the Manservants are mindless drone servants to the vampires of the Courtyard, helping their masters by giving their lives to protect them with both their bodies and trays.

Even if they are mindless drones now, the taste of blood is enough to send them into a frenzy. As the bloodlust takes hold, they will undergo a hideous metamorphosis, showing the true monster that is hidden underneath their thin veneer of sophistication.

Behavior[]

These diminutive monsters will try their absolute best to support their masters, either by protecting them from attacks through their guard, or disrupting your party with stress and pull. However, once they give in to their thirst for blood, they become threats in their own right, capable of causing far more serious troubles for your unfortunate adventurers.
