History

Count Vicaro in human form

Count Vicaro was a renown sorcerer from the 1600s that upon dying in 1642 became a vampire. However, until the fall of 1942, his activities were mostly unknown. At some point Vicaro left to the United States of America and began preying on victims of various towns whom he carried back to his tower. There, he would feed on them until he had drained them dry.

His activities during the 1940s attracted the attention of the Angel who came to one of the villages that Vicaro terrorized. Saving the life of an old man being attacked by Vicaro, the Angel was knocked out and taken as the vampire's next victim instead. The Angel revived before Vicaro could shackle him, and the hero fought the creature until it fled. Freeing Vicaro's slaves, the Angel located Vicaro's coffin and prevented the vampire from getting into it before the dawn. As the sun began to rise, its rays forced Vicaro to transform back to human form and die once more. The Angel then placed Vicaro's body into the coffin and set it ablaze.

Vicaro has not been seen since. It is unknown if any of the recent spells that have brought previously deceased vampires back to life resurrected Vicaro or not.

Attributes

Powers

Vicaro presumably has all the same abilities as Vampires. Of the abilities he portrayed he was able to transform into a half human/half bat creature with leather wings capable of flight.

Weaknesses

Vicaro required to drink blood in order to survive. Sunlight was his only documented weakness. However, unlike most vampires who burn up in the son, Vicaro simply reverted to human form and died once more.

Notes

Vicaro displays many abilities and weaknesses that are common to Vampires on Earth-616. However, there are a number of significant differences. This may be because Vicaro may not have been a full vampire or one of the many offshoot breeds. Whatever explanations for this are entirely speculative.

Trivia

Count Vicaro looks similar to Amenhotep's vampire form.
