Gabriella von Nachthafen is a elder vampire of the Lahmian Sisterhood. [1]
History
She was turned into a vampire at about the same time as Lady Hermione von Auerbach who has been for many centuries her chief rival in the Sisterhood having vied with her for choice postings in Altdorf, Couronne, Miragliano and Nuln. [1b]
For several hundred years she had been Countess von Nachthafen watching Sylvania for her queen, Neferata[1b], and appearing as either wife, daughter, niece or other relative of the Count. She was careful to change her appearance and background each time and generated a reputation as a kind, fair but absolute mistress to her serfs and servants, all of whom where aware of her true nature.[1a]
She joined with Gotrek and Felix and their companions to defeat her bloodchild Adolphus Krieger and following his destruction had promised to educate and protect Ulrika Magdova who had been turned into a vampire by Krieger. Reluctantly Gotrek had allowed her to do so after Gabriella had promised to teach her to do no harm. They returned to Nachthafen Castle that night and began the new vampires education. [1a]
Before Ulrika had got beyond slaughtering those who offered her their blood, Gabriella was called to Nuln where senior members of the Sisterhood in the city had been killed and exposed as vampires. [1b]

Quotes
| Every vampire has an obligation to every other vampire to be discreet - to feed covertly, to live privately - for when one is discovered, it riles the sheep and endangers us all. If I were to let you rage through the countryside, slaughtering indiscriminately, the witch hunters wouldn't just come for you. They would begin to wonder who else might have hidden fangs. They would prowl about, asking questions and bringing lanterns and silvered blades into crypts. I can't allow that, and so you must be taught. You must learn not to feed. You must learn to control your hunger lest it control you, exposing you - and me - to the cattle's ignorant wrath.
~Gabrielle to Ulrika.[1a] |
