Zdenka Gaspar is an 853 year old Vampire once known and feared an what is now the Czech Republic. Who she was when she was mortal has been lost to time, but what history remembers of her is a brutal, violent queen of the Aspira Coven. She and her followers cut a swath of death and destruction across Eastern Europe and Western Russia for centuries until she was eventually defeated by a Vampire Hunter known as Gallas. So powerful was she, that she couldn't be be killed, merely sealed away. When the last of the priests responsible for sealing in her tomb died, and the magic they held vanished from existence, the seal broke. The year was now 1819, and the world had changed from how she remembered. Her coven was now long dead, and her kingdom erased from history. Rather then seek vengeance, Zdenka chose to live among the mortals of this era, as she has ever since.
