==The Legend==
We all know the von Carsteins. Parodies of nobility, the Dracula Bloodline of the [[Vampire Counts]], origins that aren't exactly clear as it goes back to the origins of all the [[Warhammer Fantasy]] vampires (making them the nouveau riche Bloodline). 
During the time that [[Vlad von Carstein|Vlad]] was consolidating his power by turning the nobles of Sylvania into vampires and bringing them under his thumb, he and [[Isabella von Carstein|Isabella]] took a few in as an adopted "family". Konrad and Mannfred were their two "sons" and mostly stayed at home during the first vampire campaign against the Empire.
