Vargryfe is the Supreme Leader of the Corin Church, the progenitor of vampires, and the grandfather of Rurushi Ru and Flora in Farming Life in Another World. He is over 4,000 years old at his first appearance yet retains a youthful look, and he is often addressed as “Progenitor” by family and “Mr. Progenitor” by Hiraku Machio.
Although already over 4,000 years old at his debut, he looks strikingly young. His ageless appearance underscores his status as the vampire progenitor.
Vargryfe is remarkably easygoing and talks to most people in a casual, friendly tone. When speaking with Hiraku Machio or discussing religious matters, he can shift to a polite, respectful manner.
He loves fun and interesting happenings and eagerly joins village festivals as a spectator or a volunteer staffer. He feels a strong kinship with Hiraku Machio, who, like him, has met God face to face.
He serves as the top of the Corin Church and reveres God due to a formative encounter at his birth. God encouraged him despite his unusual nature as a vampire, which anchored his lifelong devotion.
Over his long life he has used many names; during the era when he called himself Rumani Bran Transilver, he was married to Versa. That period coincided with his peak adolescent grandiosity phase, which he now considers his most embarrassing “dark history.”
As the progenitor of vampires, he possesses extreme longevity and an unaging, youthful appearance. His warmth and charisma make him a natural religious leader and community bridge-builder.
