A once great noble that was brought low by a single wound. Valdrik Van Der Brock was bitten by the vampire Lacie Heidelberg, A.K.A. Lacie the Lunatic. Lacie bewitched Valdrik's mind while dancing at a ball he hosted at the center piece of his family's estate, Castle Brock. Valdrik was bit right there on the ball room floor and followed Lacie to his doom.

The couple laid waste to the surrounding lands that the Van Der Brock family had protected for generations. This darkness hung over the land for over fifty years. A ray of hope came in the form of a party of vengeful heroes that were successful in destroying Lacie while she slept.

Lacie's scream of true and final death woke Valdrik and his wrath. He drained the heroes dry, all except Alice Lam. Alice's face favored that of Lacie and Valdrik could not bring himself to strike down that which he found dear. He left her to her dead companions and fled his ancestral home.
