Bram Stoker

Bram Stoker (ブラム・ストーカー,) is a member of the Decay of the Angel. He owns the currently unnamed Infection-Type Ability.

Appearance
Bram has a vampire-like appearance which includes having fangs. He has long wavy hair that reaches below his shoulders. He also has a distinctive triangular-shaped pointed ears similar to elven ears. Two scars can also be seen on his face, one on each side of his face, and there are distinct markings beneath his eyes.

He has no lower body ever since Ōchi Fukuchi severed his head from his body, but a Holy Sword can be seen attached to his lower body, which is stretched all the way to his brain.

Personality
Bram appears to have a disdain towards insolent people. After being dubbed as a calamity eight years ago, he decides not to add any more to his kin and finds no interest whatsoever in joining Fukuchi's scheme of inflicting the world with chaos. However, when threatened, Bram ends up obeying Fukuchi's orders regardless how much he does not wish to go against his personal vow of turning no one else into his kind.

Ability
Bram's ability name is currently unknown. However, it is an infection-type ability which turns whoever he bites into a vampire. It also makes the victim the next aggressor. The infection rate of the ability is fast, in which it surpasses the speed of the South American werewolf incident. Bram himself has complete control over the victims infected by his ability and the victims they infected, allowing him to build up a army of loyal subordinates incredibly fast. According the governments of the world, Bram's ability is counted as one of the "Top Ten Calamities to Destroy the World", making his power one of the ten capable of destroying the world and causing wide scale death, destruction and chaos.

As seen with Akutagawa, it is possible that his ability also allows him to bring back the dead back to life by turning them into his "kind".

Background
In the past, Bram was an earl in Northern Europe. Despite formerly being a human, his cells had been mutated due to an ability, which then resulted in him being transformed into a vampire. Sometime later, Bram and his kind were captured and beheaded on stakes by an army, who rejected his plea to spare his subjects. One of them struck Bram with the Holy Sword for the first time.

Eight years ago prior to the incident at Standard Island aboard the Boswellian, Bram became known as one of the "ten calamities" who were said to be destroyers of humanity. At some point, he encountered and clashed with Fukuchi, resulting to the latter severing his lower body and gaining control over him through the Holy Sword that pierced him.
