Van-Fem

Valery Fernand Vandelstam, better known as Van-Fem. One of the oldest Dead Apostles, and a Puppet Master, a type of sorcerer which specializes in crafting artificial puppets to do their bidding. An odd case among the Apostles who took a liking to human society and set up a casino boat in Monte Carlo after World War I, earning himself a high social status among humans.

He has seven giant golems similar to castles under his command, known as the Demon Castles. He neglects his duties as a vampire due to his preference for human life, and is on bad terms with both Ortenrosse, whom he considers too old-fashioned, and Altrouge Brunestud, due to having had his fifth castle destroyed by Fina-blood Svelten.
