18) Donovan:

Full Name: Donovan Baine
Race: Dhampir
Country: Unknown
Year of Birth: Unknown
Height: 194cm (6'4")
Weight: 98kg (216lbs.)

Background Information:
Donovan was a half-vampire, half-human child. He and his 
mother were outcasts of their village due to Donovan's 
cursed blood. During his childhood, something caused his 
cursed blood to awaken and he killed everyone in the village 
including his mother. 

He cursed his blood and went out looking for peace. He 
devoted his life to Buddhism, but, even after ten years, his 
heart could no find peace. During one of his travels, he met 
a girl named Anita. Her heartless, empty eyes told him that 
she was the same as he. Wanting to save Anita's heart, he 
set off with her to hunt all the Darkstalkers in the world. 

Donovan uses a torturing device called an Iron Maiden to 
seal any Darkstalker he hunts. He gave it the name Brad 
Abrude. Inside is also the severed head to the doll that 
Anita carries. 

As he traveled with her, he found a Sword that was said to 
give off un-Earthly powers in the Tibetan mountains. This 
Sword granted Donovan more powers than ever before, but 
he also had to use large beads to contain the powers as well. 
Using the powers of the Fire, Lighting and Ice Spirits, he 
hunts the Darkstalkers as a Darkhunter. 

About Anita's History:
The small girl that always follows Donovan around. She is 
84 cm (2'9") and 13 kg (29 lbs). Anita carries an old doll that 
seems to be a memento of her mother. She had always been 
with Donovan ever since she was adopted by him from her 
orphanage. Because of her un-human powers, she was 
shunned from society. This caused her to lose her emotions. 
She regained her emotions back as Donovan lost his 
humanity. She is also the one destined to become the 
ruler of the humans.

About 'Real' Dhampirs:
The name given by the Slavonic Gypsies to the child of a 
vampire. Dhampirs possess certain unique powers in 
combating their undead sires and relatives, though their 
title and characteristics change from region to region. 

Traditionally, the male Gypsy vampire had an insatiable 
need to have sex with his widow, doing this before anything 
else. It was possible that his spouse could become pregnant, 
giving birth. The offspring was often called a Dhampir but 
was also known to other Gypsy groups as the Vampir, if 
male, Vamuiera, if female, and Vampijerovic or Lampijerovic 
in either gender. Some believed that the child was always a 
male. Others claimed it was short-lived because of a jellylike 
body or that it could not come from the family of an Orthodox 
or Muslim cleric or that it was a normal human. 

Dhampirs were known to be very effective in detecting 
and destroying their Vampiric families. They were found in 
Serbia and elsewhere in parts of Yugoslavia, many making 
comfortable livings as Vampire Hunters. Only they could 
see the nosferatu, Serbian undead being invisible and 
Dhampirs being allegedly the only people who were able 
to see Invisible Vampires. 

They performed bizarre rituals, whistling, running about, 
undressing, and using shirtsleeves as a kind of telescope. 
Wrestling furiously with an invisible foe, the Dhampir 
finally declared dramatically that the feared Vampire was 
dead. A large fee was then collected. The last known 
dhampir ceremony was held in 1959 in the Yugoslavian 
province of Kosovo.
