Bridgeport: Vladimir's Rise

Romeo Rake was wanting to know if Vladimir knew anything about the local and corrupt politician Jeffrey Cook whom he was investigating. He was already digging by having befriended Devin Ashton, Cook's best friend forever. Well, Cook was also in a way "sponsoring" Ashton in exchange for certain loyalties and...attentions. But anyway, Vladimir did know of Cook's ties to the criminal underworld and was able to provide some information. As part of a deal, Romeo agreed to turn a blind eye from time to time when it came to some of Vladimir's minor, work related pursuits.
Time then went by for a while without much of note happening. The nightly grind eventually resulted in a final promotion to the infamous rank of 'Emperor of Evil'. Vladimir had thereby fulfilled his greatest lifetime wish. He is now the dreaded and untouchable leader of the Bridgeport mob - a hard man of dark business and sinister methods who is sometimes startled by his own shadow.
There is also a matter of a more serious companionship to be followed up on. A young soul with a troublesome attitude, but a pretty face, has caught the attention of Vladimir. As a bonus, that soul also functions as a convenient walking meal. Apollo the Friendless and Hated (as well as Lola Belle lookalike) began frequenting the Haunt at some point. Vladimir soon decided to pluck him from his disturbing household consisting of, among others, none other than Slayer's best friend - William Fangmann, a vampire police officer no less.

The new Emperor of Evil. Style and proper manners are a must. It generates respect.

An enemy on more than one level.

But certainly not this one. Meet Apollo, Vladimir's chosen snuggle doll.

Apollo is very useful in that he can read thoughts. Well...see them, rather.

If only Vladimir had known, this awkward moment could have been different.

Nevertheless, the outcome would still have been the same. The two are now going steady.

The beauty and the beast. The future is simply looking...well, not bright and good, but dark and evil :D
