A rove vampire of London, Lord Akeldama is one of the oldest vampires in London (and possibly the world). A shrewd gatherer of information, Akeldama prides himself on two things: his fashion, and knowing everything. He is attended in these goals by a large number of dandy drones, many of aristocratic blood. Lord Akeldama is close friends with Alexia and the adoptive father of Prudence Maccon. He was patron of Preshea Buss and Agatha Woosmoss. His creator was Queen Matakara. He was born a human as Alexander the Great, ruler of the Macedonian Empire.
