* VillainProtagonist: Drago and Camilla Molina are vampire twins that [[HunterOfHisOwnKind hunt their treacherous kind]] in revenge for their [[YouKilledMyFather parent's murder]]. With that said, they completely embrace their predatory instincts as vampires and prey on mankind as they carry out their revenge. Though one could say that [[PinballProtagonist Vicky Lenore]] is the actual protagonist, the Molina twins actually carry the plot.

* OutsideContextProblem: An minor example from the backstory, but it still counts: Even for an fearsome vampire raptor that strikes fears into the hearts of his foes and is virtually unmatched except for his equally-deadly sister, the one enemy he couldn't defeat was the immortal sorcerer that enslaved his Indian lover, since he could reincarnate forever and ever.

* JerkassHasAPoint: Drago and Camilla's father Don Molina refused to go along with Don Miguel's plan to infiltrate humanity and replace it from within because he wanted to prey on humans like a bestial predator rather than being their overlord. He got himself killed for this, but in the long run, he proved to be right as the vampires ultimately lost much of their powers and immortality, while his children who kept true to the old ways retained their powers.

The only way to tell them apart from humans is that they have a cyst behind their right ears.
