Hannibal King (Earth-7045)

Hannibal King is a vampire private eye who specializes in paranormal activity, usually revealing the culprits as other vampires. King is an elite specimen of hard-boiled gumshoe. He’s exceptionally tough, grim, and determined. He has his severe angst problem mostly under control. His only goal now is to get ’em before they get him.

Think about a good vampire role-player struggling against the "beast," the darkness within and the inhuman urge in a gothic way.

Weaknesses

 * Religious Symbols: Like all vampires, religious symbols such as a cross or Star of David are capable of keeping King at bay, filling him with an almost irrational fear. However, this tactic is only effective against a vampire if the wielder truly had faith in the religious icon being used.
 * Decapitation: Like all vampires, King can be killed by having his head severed from his body.
 * Fire: King is vulnerable to fire since the ichor, the substance that flows through a vampire's veins instead of blood, is a highly flammable substance. Sufficient flames could reduce Baron Blood to ash within a matter of seconds.
 * Wooden Stake: King can also be killed by having a wooden stake driven into his heart. For some reason yet to be fully explained, the presence of a wooden stake prevents ichor from pumping through a vampire's heart.
 * Exposure To Sunlight: Despite having increased resistance to sunlight, Baron Blood can't withstand being exposed to it indefinitely. Eventually, his body would feel the painful effects and would soon disintegrate.

Weapons
He carries a revolver and sometimes uses other artillery such as his personal shotgun.
