Crimson

Crimson is known as the vampire of the Crimson Tower, a figure shrouded in legend and fear.

He acts from the shadows, pulling strings behind large-scale vampire-related disasters.

As a superior vampire, he possesses exceptional regenerative powers and physical resilience.

Despite this, he ultimately meets his end at the hands of Shadow, whose attacks overwhelm even Crimson’s abnormal recovery.

Crimson harbors a deep, bottomless hatred toward humans and others who persecuted his kind.

This hatred originates from an incident where one of his fellow vampires had their weakness exposed and was relentlessly hunted and oppressed.

That trauma left Crimson obsessed with vengeance and long-term schemes.

Rather than seeking quick revenge, he carefully engineers major events, using others as tools to enact his grudges.

Crimson is effectively the main culprit behind the chaos associated with the “Red Moon.”

He views this ominous celestial event as the perfect trigger for his grand plans involving vampires and their enemies.

One thousand years before the present storyline, Crimson deliberately drove Elisabeth into a violent rampage.

By pushing her beyond her limits, he turned her into a catastrophe, using her as a living weapon aligned with his grudges.

In the present day, when the Red Moon appears once more, Crimson moves again from the shadows.

He secretly works to resurrect Elisabeth, intending to unleash her destructive power upon the world again.

As a high-ranking vampire, Crimson possesses extraordinary regenerative capabilities.

He can rapidly recover from severe injuries that would kill ordinary beings, making him extremely difficult to defeat in direct combat.

However, when he confronts Shadow, his regeneration finally meets its match.

Shadow’s relentless slashes overwhelm Crimson’s healing speed, and a final blow that pierces his heart reduces Crimson’s body to ash.

In the original storyline, Crimson is ultimately killed by Shadow.

After sustaining countless cuts that even his superior regeneration cannot handle, he is impaled through the heart and disintegrates into ash.

In the television anime adaptation, his death is even more abrupt and spectacular.

Just as Crimson attempts to resurrect Elisabeth, Shadow silently activates “I Am Atomic,” annihilating Crimson in a massive explosion before his plan can bear fruit.

Elisabeth

Elisabeth is central to Crimson’s schemes, both in the past and present.

He is the one who caused her rampage a millennium ago, and he later attempts to revive her under the Red Moon to use her once more as a devastating weapon.

Shadow (Cid Kagenou)

Shadow stands as Crimson’s ultimate counterforce and executioner.

Crimson’s long-nurtured schemes are finally cut short by Shadow’s overwhelming power, both in the original storyline and in the anime adaptation.
