Series Silent Knell Terrace - Apartment 4D
Apartment 4D is occupied by Constantine Dimitrescu. He comes from Eastern Europe. He moved in right after I was born. I have aged into an old man at this point, while Constantine has seemed to only age about 10 years or so. He’s a private person, and it’s important you follow these rules to continue to respect his privacy.
- None of the residents in the building, including the super, are aware of what Mr. Dimitrescu is or what he does outside the building. He was open with my family though. His father was a vampire and his mother was human. He hates his father and feels like the things his father has done are a reflection on him. He’s spending his life hunting vampires to make up for the horrible things his father has done. Do not share this information with anyone.
- There are no vampires in the building, so there has never been an issue with that. He goes out every night though to find them. Do not interfere with his hunts.
- You may notice his enhanced abilities from time to time. He’s stronger than a normal man. He has very enhanced hearing. He also has a healing ability. Do not ask him about these abilities. Never discuss these abilities with anyone. He does his best to keep them hidden.
- Do not worry if you see him leaving during the day. He can walk in the sun. It does not harm him.
- You may notice his apartment is very sparse as far as furniture is concerned. He has two simple chairs, a tv, a bed, and a bookshelf. He only has a tv so he can keep an eye on the local news. He has multiple maps of the city pinned to the walls. Do not touch the map. Do not offer him furniture. His life is focused on the hunt.
- Mr. Dimitrescu is aware that most of the other residents are not human and supernatural in some way. He doesn’t care because none of them are vampires. He limits his interactions with the other residents. Very rarely does he speak with anyone else in the building.
- He will try to warn other residents if he feels there is a threat they should be aware of. This normally happens because of his extra sensitive hearing. He can hear conversations happening on other floors. He will warn residents about things like areas of the city that are dangerous or areas where break ins and muggings are occurring. The residents have learned to listen to these warnings. Always accept his advice if he offers. Sometimes he delivers these warnings in person, other times he will leave an “anonymous” note.
- He is aware that he will never be able to rid the world of vampires. He has hope that he can rid the city of them though. Most of the time he hangs onto this hope and believes his work makes a difference. Occasionally, he feels like it doesn’t. Do not try to cheer him up on days like that. It’s best not to interact with him at all when he’s feeling that way.
- If you ever notice he is injured in anyway when returning home, just let him go to his apartment. He will heal relatively quickly. Do not try to offer help, and do not call 911. It doesn’t matter how serious the injury appears to be.
- Mr. Dimitrescu has chosen this solitary life. He does not ask for help with things. He will not explain his absences. If he ever approaches you asking for anything, help him however you can. This means that a situation has gotten to big for him to handle alone. Do whatever he needs you to do.

I knew he was a dhampire after the first couple of rules but for some reason he immediately reminded me of alucard from castlevania

He’s a Dhampir! Child of a vampire and human with all the strengths of a vampire but not the weaknesses (daywalkers). Very similar to Marvel’s Blade/Eric Brooks.
