Zora

Zora was an ancient vampire, burned at the stake as a witch around 1744, but survived due to her supernatural abilities. She was in love with a soldier named Rollo. Rollo died of a gunshot wound before his transformation to vampire was complete. Zora spent 200 years seeking a method to bring him back and finish the transformation, finally managing to revive him with a ritual. After encountering Frankenstein, Zora put the creature under her power and took him to her home, a spooky old mansion, to add him to her brood of ghouls. While Zora delighted in drinking blood and being a creature of darkness, Frankenstein displayed distaste for her ways, and after he ate garlic bread, Zora and Rollo were forced to abandon their ancient manor. Homeless, they went to New York, where they took over an apartment building. Zora invited two additional vampires to join her brood. These vampires held an undertaker’s convention at the building, and hired one of the undertakers as a butler. Frankenstein was released from Zora’s power. Zora was long lived, and seemed to posses all the standard abilities and weaknesses of a typical vampire. Unlike some vampires, she was also skilled in mesmerism, and demonstrated the ability to summon and control bats.
