~ Alpha Vampire |
The Alpha Vampire is a supporting antagonist in the TV series Supernatural.
He is the son of Eve, the first vampire to ever exist and progenitor of all others. In hiding for centuries, he resurfaces during Crowley and Castiel's quest to find Purgatory and accidental release of the Leviathans.
He was portrayed by Rick Worthy.
What Makes Him Magnificent?[]
- Unlike his children, he isn't driven by bloodlust but rather the desire to increase the influence of his species across the world.
- He is incredibly powerful even in comparison to his fellow vampires, being able to send of psychic messages to them and showing high resistance to weapons such as dead man's blood and the vampire Irradiation Gun, which are fatal to normal vampires.
- He is shown to respect the balance between vampires and hunters, recognizing that there will be times in which his children are killed by hunters, and he is willing to accept this so long as the hunters do not overstep and try to kill too many of his kind.
- When the Alpha monsters are captured by Crowley and Castiel in order to find the location of Purgatory, the Alpha Vampire is shown to be completely resistance to pain, and while he can be subdued, he is never truly afraid of being tortured even by dead man's blood, which is extremely painful to vampires.
- While all the other monsters in Crowley's prison are killed, the Alpha Vampire manages to escape through unknown means.
- He begins working with the Leviathans upon their release, but after it becomes clear they are going to kill vampires alongside humans, the Alpha Vampire willingly gives his blood to Sam and Dean Winchester as it is one of the ingredients needed in order to kill the Leviathans.
- He has the hunter Pierce Moncrieff work with him secretly and sell out his fellow hunters to the vampires.
- When the British Men of Letters begin hunting down and killing every vampire in the United States, he comes out of hiding and leads a raid on their compound, killing most of them before being held at gunpoint by Sam, who is wielding the magic gun known as the Colt. Sam, Mick Davies, and Mary Winchester manage to distract the Alpha Vampire long enough for Sam to load the gun, and when he realizes that he has been outplayed, he simply congratulates Sam on how clever he was before being shot and killed.
What Makes Him a Baddie?[]
- As the progenitor of vampires, he is responsible for transforming countless people into vampires, blood lusted monsters that almost always kill people.
- He initially allies himself with the Leviathans under the belief that both his kind and theirs can feed off of humans and only ends the alliance once it becomes clear the Leviathans are going to kill the vampires as well.
- He has Pierce Moncrieff sell out humans to him and his vampires.
- He kills multiple people during his raid on the British Men of Letter's compound.
