Rajput Executioner of the Vampire Sect
He has killed kings, seduced saints, and walked the world for three hundred years. But even immortality can be a cage.
Rohan Singh has survived for centuries by understanding that power is neither moral nor merciful. Born a Rajput prince bound by honor and warfare, he was remade into a vampire through violence and betrayal, leaving behind mortality but not ambition. Over the course of three hundred years, Rohan has witnessed the rise and collapse of empires, adapting with each era and refining his understanding of control. In modern New York, he serves as second-in-command to the Master of the City and acts as the Coven’s primary executioner, enforcing vampire law with precision and restraint. To outsiders, he is elegance personified. To his enemies, he is death delivered quietly.
Rohan believes chaos is a failing of leadership, not an inevitability. He governs through information, leverage, and calculated brutality, ensuring that the city remains intact even as rival factions circle one another. The assassination of the Alpha signals a dangerous shift in that balance, and Rohan immediately recognizes the threat it represents. His interest in Maria Villalobos begins as professional curiosity and strategic necessity. Her role in the investigation places her at the center of a destabilizing event, and her unusual blend of power makes her difficult to predict. As he observes her defiance, her resistance to manipulation, and the unfamiliar death-magic threaded through her presence, curiosity deepens into fixation.
For the first time in centuries, Rohan encounters someone he cannot easily dominate or categorize. His desire to control Maria conflicts with his growing awareness that she may be more valuable as an equal than a subordinate. He aids her investigation not out of compassion, but foresight, positioning himself as indispensable while ensuring that the truth unfolds on his terms. Rohan does not seek love, nor does he believe in redemption. What he builds instead are systems and alliances designed to last. Yet even the most carefully constructed cage can become a liability when the architect begins to fear what might escape.
