History
Rowkis was a member of the Tryks and was the lover of Queen Cilla.[1] Rowkis killed four vampires who attacked Susan Vendermeer, Queen Cilla in disguise. He infected the last vampire, cleaned his spikes with her handkerchief, and scaled up the building and disappeared.[2]
Wanting to mate with the vampire hunter Blade to ensure a better future for the Tryks, Queen Cilla had Rowkis watch over Blade and defend him from harm for a period of time. Rowkis obeyed Cilla, even though he thought he should be Cilla's mate, not Blade.[3]
Cilla eventually got Blade to mate with her, but she and Rowkis also antagonized Blade after they told him that they had tricked him. Cilla and Rowkis fought Blade and escaped. Rowkis later came back to kill Blade, but he was killed when Blade sliced him in two with his sword.[4]Attributes

Weaknesses
- Special Limitations: Rowkis, like all Tryks, has a number of special vulnerabilities. His greatest weakness, like that of other Tryks, is that he must ingest about one quart of vampire blood in order to maintain his vitality. Otherwise, his powers will steadily decrease to the point where he enters a comatose state. Rowkis, like all Tryks can only be killed two ways: being decapitated and being exposed to fire.
