| Name | Kessler Van Doom |
“And now there walks among your forces, a veritable prince of the undead. His name is Kessler van Doom. His range of spells extended past the norm of his dark brethren. Specialising as he does in Necromancy. Use him well.”— The Mentor, Creep |
|
| Attracting Kessler Van Doom | |
 |
|
| A Library surrounded by Graveyard tiles. If you already have a Library from attracting Almeric, convert this into a full Graveyard after Kessler arrives. | |
Supervisor's Evaluation
He is a Blitzer and will attempt to cut through the blocking ranks to home in on enemy Support creatures. He has two weaknesses, however — he cannot cross water (if he attempts to, he will suffer burns as though in lava) and he is extremely vulnerable to Monks. If the Vampire (at any level) is killed by a Monk (of any level) the Vampire is permanently dead. Even so, he still leaves no dead body.
As a worker, the Vampire is best used in a Library, where he is as good at researching as the Warlock. Note that he will not train unless specifically ordered to do so. You are advised to spend time training him, so that he is able to resurrect more times.

Supervisor's Comments
The Vampire is attracted by a Graveyard (3 x 3), and is fearless, even in combat.
When the Vampire falls in battle, he loses a level and resurrects. If the Vampire is Level 1 when he falls, he is permanently dead. Otherwise, if your Graveyard is at least 5x5 in size, the Vampire will resurrect there. If your Graveyard is smaller, he will resurrect at a random spot in your dungeon. (You must have at least a 3x3 Graveyard for the Vampire to resurrect at all.)
The Vampire has two of the most potent first-person abilities. He can fly as a bat (for scouting), and he can Hypnotise, so that enemy creatures can be prevailed upon to turn on their own allies.
