Trope was cut/disambiguated due to cleanup; Emergency Food Supply Animal will likely not fit, so went with the alternative.

This trope is usually associated with PragmaticVillainy (for vampires, at least) for a few reasons, one of them being that having a servant/ally who doesn't have the same weaknesses as you can be pretty useful at times... if you can resist the urge to suck him dry of his blood, that is. For example, said servant can guard and protect your coffin/tomb/resting place during the day to make sure that no vampire hunters come along to stake you, pour holy water all over your body or cut your head off while you sleep. A vampire may also simply need a relatively unassuming human agent who can walk around in civilized places in broad daylight and get important things done; good luck getting a raised [[OurZombiesAreDifferent zombie]] or [[DemBones skeleton]] to do that. And finally, there's always the necessity for [[EatTheDog emergency rations.]] The Renfield as a faithful servant can often overlap with TheIgor.

* Music/TomWaits as Renfield in ''Film/BramStokersDracula'' is a fairly book-accurate depiction of his book counterpart, an older man who spends his entire time in Dr. Seward's asylum. [[spoiler: he has a HeelFaceTurn and warns Mina to get out, resulting in Dracula killing him off for his uselessness]].

* ''Literature/EmpireOfTheVampire'': Thralls are mortals sworn to the service of vampiric masters, seduced through a combination of vampiric domination, blood addiction and plain old human greed. Drinking a vampire's blood on three separate nights is enough to become permanently enthralled, which is part of the reason why palebloods smoke vampire blood rather than drinking it. Thralls gain a measure of additional strength, speed and fortitude, though not much, and their natural lifespan is slightly extended (albeit few survive long enough to enjoy it).
