| 13 | When you've got a large group of intelligent predators, there's usually someone they have to answer to. With vampires, this is usually a queen or a king. Often, all the vampires in the world are [[MonsterProgenitor descended from them]]. They sometimes come with spouse, though it's becoming [[LonelyAtTheTop more rare in recent years]]. |
| 14 | |
| 15 | They're almost always the most powerful of their kind, because [[RankScalesWithAsskicking they have to have kept their throne]] [[StrongerWithAge somehow]]. If not, they almost certainly have [[DecadentCourt the loyalty of those who are]], or can [[HiveQueen control the minds of their progeny]]. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | {{Dracula}} is a popular choice, as are [[BiblicalBadGuy Biblical baddies]] like Myth/{{Lilith}} and [[TheDescendantsOfCain Cain]]. Often in fiction, when a vampire turns a person into one of them, the new vampire is subservient to the creator, resulting in a sort of hierarchical family tree of vampires owing their allegiance back to the originator, who rules them all. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | In settings with a VampireVarietyPack, if this Monarch is the originator of ''all'' the vampire clans, they typically have [[AllYourPowersCombined the combined powers of all the clans]] (and sometimes even one or two extra powers that they kept just for themselves), which is what allows them to stay on top. Usually, however, the clans will be unrelated to one another and each one will have its own Monarch, which together make up a CouncilOfVampires. |
| 20 | |
| 21 | A common variant has it that destroying a given vampire [[NoOntologicalInertia reverts all those turned by him back to human]] (or just kills them). |
| 22 | |
| 23 | You ''will'' do what they say, or face dire consequences. Because after all, doesn’t a parent know what's best for their children? |

| 37 | |
| 38 | [[folder:Anime and Manga]] |
| 39 | * In ''Anime/BloodPlus'', [[spoiler:Diva and Saya]] are Chiropteran queens. In this case they're born chiropterans, twins that a previous queen gives birth to, and fathered by one of that queen's sister's chevaliers. Other chiropterans, including chevaliers, are created by infecting a human with chiropteran blood. Interestingly, the blood of a chiropteran queen [[spoiler:is extremely dangerous to that queen's sister and any derivative chiropterans]]. |
| 40 | * In ''Manga/DanceInTheVampireBund'', Mina Tepes is the sole child of the last vampire queen, and tries to hide from the other vampire leaders the fact that in her real form, she'd be able to bear their children. |
| 41 | * In ''Anime/DigimonGhostGame'', [[MonsterOfTheWeek Vamdemon]] fancies himself vampire royalty and believes that he should rule eternally over humans and Digimon while the finest specimens of both become vampire nobility under him. To that end, he and his underlings lure influencers to his penthouse and turn them into vampires in the hopes that they will in turn vampirize others. |
| 42 | * In ''Manga/{{Hellsing}}'' Integra once referred to Alucard as a "king of vampires, or at least a [[{{Dracula}} count]]". Though he doesn't have any authority over other vampires, excepting Seras after he turned her in the first chapter/episode, he is much more powerful than any other vampire in the series. [[spoiler: And in the manga and OVA he is progenitor of all the vampires seen in the series, given that Millennium used Mina Harker's remains to create their mass-produced monsters.]] |
| 43 | * ''Higanjima'': Miyabi the main antagonist leads the vampires on an island and wants to spread his conquest into the world. |
| 44 | * ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'': |
| 45 | ** The Pillar Men are a race of {{Mayincatec}} vampire-like beings once worshiped as Mayan gods who are capable of VoluntaryShapeshifting, and devouring flesh by touch, but are petrified when exposed to sunlight. Kars, the leader of the last surviving group, created the Stone Masks as a means to overcome sunlight and to create vanilla vampires from humans, to serve both as minion labor and as [[FoodChainOfEvil more nutritious meals than humans could be]]. |
| 46 | ** Dio as well, least in the first part of the series, ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventurePhantomBlood Phantom Blood]]'', after he recovers from the fire at the Joestar mansion. He takes over a small countryside village and turns many people into his minions. Heck one of them was ''Jack the Ripper''. While he is the main big bad in part 3, ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders Stardust Crusaders]]'', only two of his minions, Nukesaku and Vanilla Ice, are vampires. Everyone else is a human or animal who works for him. |
| 47 | * ''Manga/TheRecordOfAFallenVampire'' has a queen (Adelheid) and a king (Akabara). |
| 48 | * The Vampire King Duzell in ''Manga/VampireGame''. More so a century ago, when he commanded armies and warred with the good king Phelios; in the manga proper he’s been reincarnated as an orphaned kitten. |
| 49 | [[/folder]] |
| 50 | |
| 51 | [[folder:Comic Books]] |
| 52 | * In ''ComicBook/AmericanVampire'', vampires are divided into countless distinct bloodlines with their many differences and weaknesses. The Carpathian original (also known as {{Dracula}}, having actually served as inspiration for the fictional character) fits this trope very nicely having complete control of his progeny and being regarded as the most powerful vampire in existence. |
| 53 | * ''[[ComicBook/AthenaVoltaire Athena Voltaire and the Vampire Queen]]'' is focused on one, as you'd expect from the title. This one is [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_B%C3%A1thory Elizabeth Báthory]] (who, in real life, was accused of indulging in the odd BloodBath). She isn't actually served by any lesser vampires at the time of the story (having ghosts and werewolves instead), but is promising her followers to let them serve her as vampires if they're good. |
| 54 | * ''ComicBook/{{Crimson}}'': Victor Van Fleet is regarded by the Order of the Red Hood as the most powerful vampire lord in the world and has ambitions to become President. Above him however stands [[MonsterProgenitor Lisseth]], the creator of all their kind. |
| 55 | * ''ComicBook/DarkArk'': Nex is the leader of the vampires onboard the titular vessel and by extension, the [[MonsterLord unofficial leader of all the other monsters too]] by virtue of vampires being the most dominant species among their kind. |
| 56 | * The original "ComicBook/IVampire" tales from ''ComicBook/HouseOfMystery'' had Mary, Queen of Blood for their BigBad. She wasn't the progenitor of all vampires -- indeed, her sire Andrew Bennett was the protagonist, TheAtoner hunting down his evil offspring -- but she did create and rule over the majority of evil vampires in the original miniseries and an ''army'' of them in the 2011 reboot. |
| 57 | * ''ComicBook/ALoveLikeBlood'': Karkossa is the king of all vampires as well as their progenitor. Regular vampires look more or less like humans with fangs; Karkossa is more of a [[EvilMakesYouMonstrous batlike monster after feeding for so long]]. |
| 58 | * Creator/MarvelComics' [[ComicBook/TheTombOfDracula Dracula]] is the official "Lord of Vampires." He was named so and turned by the previous lord of vampires, Varnae, who happened to be the first vampire on the planet. Thanks to being turned by him he is one of the most powerful vampires on the planet and can mentally dominate other vampires. However, strong minded vampires can resist his control. He also is frequently challenged for his throne by rival vampires, his own son, his daughter Lilith, and the former lord of vampires himself. |
| 59 | * In ''Queen of Vampires'', the titular character, Arkhalla, is the reigning monarch of Ur. The first vampire ever created, she has turned a few of her most loyal supporters into vampires. They rule over the human population, which is treated as a source of food and slave labour. |
| 60 | * ''ComicBook/{{Raptors}}'': Don Miguel Y Certa, while not literally a king (instead being of Spanish high nobility), is the ruler of all vampires. |
| 61 | * In ''ComicBook/RequiemVampireKnight'', {{Dracula}} himself is the king of all vampires in the nightmarish {{Hell}} / BizarroWorld of Resurrection; due to the vagaries of the TimeyWimeyBall that seems to govern the transition between death on Earth and rebirth on Resurrection, he is also the first vampire to appear there, despite Roman emperors UsefulNotes/{{Nero}} and UsefulNotes/{{Caligula}}, as well as UsefulNotes/AttilaTheHun, who all predate him historically by over a millennium, also being vampires. |
| 62 | [[/folder]] |
| 63 | |
| 64 | [[folder:Fan Works]] |
| 65 | * In ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'', the Vampire Courts of ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'' are shown, with the addition of a Grey Court of classic Dracula vampires. With the exception of the largely diminished Black Court, each is ruled by a King, Dracula being King of the Grey Court, Kukulcan the King of the Red Court (or at least, a vampire using that name) and Lord Raith is [[spoiler: puppet]] King of the White Court. |
| 66 | * ''Fanfic/DungeonKeeperAmi'': From "Temple Breached", it appears that if any of the vampires Zarekos sired, looks him in the eye, he can control them: |
| 67 | --> An echo of this power within his own blood responded to the foreign touch, squashing even the possibility of rebellious thoughts. "M-Master?" |
| 68 | * ''Fanfic/MyRoommateIsAVampire'': Princess Luna is queen of the vampires, and the lycans as well. |
| 69 | * In the ''Fanfic/ShadowchasersSeries'' continuity, {{Dracula}} has this role, but "Dracula" is not one being; rather, the name is [[LegacyCharacter a title held by whatever vampire rules the vampire race]] (Which is currently a DyingRace on Earth). The current Dracula is female and appears as a teenage girl who dresses in a modern, trendy outfit (she tells Fayte that she "figured it was time for a change") and this one seems a great deal more benign than most versions, likely interested in improving the PR of her people among other races (The exhibition at the end of the chapter states that Fayte's membership in the Shadowchasers was due to a request she and Penelope made with Jalal). |
| 70 | * ''Fanfic/SixesAndSevens'': Kenneth Crichton turns Prince Rudolfo into the vampire emperor of Latveria during the events of ''Headfirst Slide''. Crichton himself is a lesser example, since he's a member of the English nobility. |
| 71 | [[/folder]] |
| 72 | |
| 73 | [[folder:Film]] |
| 74 | * ''Film/ThirtyDaysOfNight'': Marlow appears to be this for the rest of the vampires. [[spoiler: After he dies, the rest wander around aimlessly, indicating he may have had some mind control over them which has lifted now.]] Lilith is referred to as Vampire Queen in the sequel ''Dark Days''. |
| 75 | * Adam in the film version of ''Film/AbrahamLincolnVampireHunter'' is the vampiric king of all the New World vamps, ruling from his home base in the Confederacy. |
| 76 | * ''Film/BladeTrilogy'': |
| 77 | ** ''Film/BladeII'' has Overlord Eli Damaskinos. It's not clear how much power he wields, as the first film has stated that the House of Erebus is ruled by a council of purebloods. |
| 78 | ** ''Film/BladeTrinity'' is kicked off when a group of vampires find and awaken the original vampire [[{{Dracula}} Drake]], who is several orders of magnitude more powerful than an ordinary vamp and doesn't have any of the weakenesses of ordinary vamps, but does have a number of additional powers like VoluntaryShapeshifting. |
| 79 | * Baron Meinster in ''Film/TheBridesOfDracula''. A unique example too as it's the only in the Hammer Dracula series where is the head vampire. This was due to Christopher Lee not wanting to play the role after ''Film/HorrorOfDracula''. |
| 80 | * The BigBad from the horror movie ''Film/TheHunger'', who's also a LesbianVampire and StalkerWithACrush who actively tries to seduce the main heroine. [[spoiler: And succeeds. Sort of.]] |
| 81 | * ''Film/JohnCarpentersVampires'': Jan Valek, the movie's BigBad, was a priest that became a master vampire after a botched exorcism and the very first of their kind. |
| 82 | * In ''Film/TheLostBoys'', according to legend, if you kill a "head vampire", all the "half-vampires" (people who are infected but haven't fed yet) turned by him or by vampires under his command are restored to human form. [[spoiler: This fails when the protagonists kill David, the leader of the vampire biker gang -- because unassuming middle-aged video store owner Max is the head vampire]]. |
| 83 | * In ''Film/NightTeeth'' Victor has Zoe and Blaire kill vampire overlords so that he can become this. |
| 84 | * Akasha is the [[AntagonistTitle antagonist]] of ''Film/QueenOfTheDamned'', which is loosely based on the third novel of ''Literature/TheVampireChronicles'' detailed below. |
| 85 | * King Vlasdilas in ''Film/{{Subspecies}}'' is a rare benevolent example as the vampire king of Prejner that exiled his evil son Radu for attacking and killing humans. Unfortunately, Radu returns to kill his father during the movie's opening to usurp the throne and becomes this trope himself. |
| 86 | * ''Film/TalesOfAnAncientEmpire'': Xia, the vampire queen. |
| 87 | * In ''Film/Underworld2003'', Marcus Corvinus is the first of the vampire elders. |
| 88 | ** Marcus may be the first vampire, but the leader of vampires is unquestionably Victor, who usurped power from Marcus in the 13th century. It's made pretty clear that the Death Dealers (the vampire army) are loyal primarily to Victor. |
| 89 | ** Marcus is the son of a warlord, while Victor was a warlord before being turned. It's implied that Amelia is also of noble blood. |
| 90 | * In ''Film/VanHelsing'', all the vampires and werewolves answer to Dracula, who presumably was the first vampire. |
| 91 | [[/folder]] |
| 92 | |
| 93 | [[folder:Literature]] |
| 94 | * In ''Literature/AnitaBlake'', Marmee Noir, Mother Of All Darkness, leader of all vampires, and head of the Vampire Council, the first (or one of the first) vampires in existence. |
| 95 | * ''Literature/AnnoDracula'': |
| 96 | ** Dracula himself is the lord and ruler of all the world's vampires (at least in his own opinion, and that of his followers. There are more powerful Elders who disagree, but mostly don't care enough to correct him on the subject). They refer to him as "[[RedBaron The King of Cats]]". In the first book of the series he even marries UsefulNotes/QueenVictoria and though he's officially described as the 'Prince Consort', it's obvious that he wields the power, [[spoiler: at least until the end of the book]]. |
| 97 | ** In the Christina Light subseries, Christina manages to take this role through sheer force of personality, creating her own vampire kingdom in Japan, even though she's far from being an Elder.(She doesn't consider herself a "monarch", though; she ''had'' a royal title but rejected it.) |
| 98 | * ''Literature/BetsyTheVampireQueen'' has the titular character, along with her king, Eric. |
| 99 | * In ''Literature/ChicagolandVampires'', every house is headed by a Master Vampire who rules over it as a king. Indeed, every vampire in them has to address them as "my liege." They are all under the Greewich Presidium, which is headed by a vampire council. |
| 100 | * [[EvilOverlord Stryker]] or Strykerius from ''Literature/TheDarkHunters'' is the king of the SoulEating vampire-like Daimons and seeks to have Daimons rule the world. |
| 101 | * ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'': |
| 102 | ** ''Literature/CarpeJugulum'' had one--mentioned in passing--as a Queen of Lancre. And several entries under 'years of reign'. The fact that the reign list wasn't longer suggests ''somebody'' got tired of the whole business... |
| 103 | ** And of course there is Lady Margolotta, de facto ruler of Überwald (which doesn't have an ''official'' ruler due to being "rather more what you get ''before'' you get countries") who, it is hinted, has been around for at least a millenium. Margolotta has become very clever at ruling and these days tends to lightly steer her country, possibly ''making suggestions'' in the right ears rather than outright commands. She was also a tutelary influence on Havelock Vetinari, although these days it is unclear as to which of them is now teaching the other. |
| 104 | * The UrExample is Creator/BramStoker's ''Literature/{{Dracula}}''. Count Dracula is referred to as "King Vampire", "to whom so many more were due." In context it seems to simply refer to his having created many other vampires. However the real person Dracula is most often associated with is Vlad the Impaler, an actual 1400s ruler. |
| 105 | * ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'' has [[VampireVarietyPack four distinct vampire species]], otherwise known as "Courts": |
| 106 | ** The Red Court has the Red King who assumed the name of Kukulkan, which is the name of a [[Myth/MayanMythology Mayan deity]] whose identity he assumed to better control the local populations. This worked better in pre-Spanish Mesoamerica, but he still holds enormous covert power by having insinuated his Court in with human governments and businesses across Central and South America, and the Court's servants and indigenous peoples still maintain his cult. ([[spoiler:Instances of mental instability and recreational drug-like reactions to blood are common in the Red Court, and he was no exception; the Red King was becoming increasingly unstable as he descended deeper into addiction with the war. His vampire daughter Arianna was planning on having him killed and replacing whichever member of his inner circle stepped into his place. He is killed along with the rest of the Court in ''Changes'']]). These are blood drinkers whose true form is a bat-monster but can appear as human. |
| 107 | ** The White Court consists of three Houses, each of whom has their own Lord. Lord Raith, of House Raith, is and has apparently always been, the White King. [[spoiler: Lord Raith's eldest daughter, Lara Raith, is the current and ''de facto'' White Queen. [[MistreatmentInducedBetrayal Having fed up with him]], she {{Mind Rape}}d him after he let slip that his power has been diminshing. We don't know how much of him she left but the plot has so far been treating him as effectively out of the picture. Lara is under pressure to keep him alive and maintaining appearances of "all is well" for political reasons, but her increased leadership and aggressive actions may make it an OpenSecret that she's the real power in the White Court now. Ironically, she became a the source of some positive change in the setting, even if she is still a creature that preys on humans; Lara is just as ruthless, but much more humane and practical than her tyrannical father. She remains a scary and tenuous, but cordial and consistent ally of Dresden.]] They are supermodel {{emotion eater}}s with each House having a different taste. |
| 108 | ** The Black Court (the "{{Dracula}}s") are currently decimated to the point where only a few powerful individuals exist. Interestingly, the Black King would be the entity that founded the Court, which would make it ''Dracula'' (who's hinted to still be "alive" somewhere and so is likely still its King). However, some time ago WordOfGod has it that Drac's ''father'', Dracul, is reputedly FAR more powerful than his son, and is even [[HumanoidAbomination something...else stuck in human form]]. When Dracul shows up in ''Battle Ground'', he has all the powers that Brahm Stoker gave Dracula, but more exaggerated versions, and even some abilities that his son didn't have. [[AmbiguousSituation The whole situation isn't clear]], but it appears that Dracul is either an incredibly powerful Black Court vampire, or that the Black Court has been hand-crafted to be made in imitation of him, either way, he's a strong contender to be the actual Black King. |
| 109 | ** A fourth Court, the Jade Court, is mentioned as based somewhere in Southeast Asia. Little is known about them as they are isolationists. |
| 110 | * ''Literature/EmpireOfTheVampire'': Fabién Voss, the eldest of Blood Voss and possibly the eldest vampire in existence. After initiating the first undead rising which overran Talhost, he styled himself the Forever King and began conquering the rest of the Empire. [[spoiler: Following his demise at Gabriel's hands, Margot Chastain claims his throne and styles herself Empress of Wolves and Men.]] |
| 111 | * All the vampires in ''Literature/TheIcemarkChronicles'' are ruled over by two ancient vampires known only as their vampiric majesties. |
| 112 | * Rupert Giles in the ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' novel "The Lost Slayer". A FaceHeelTurn from his character in the onscreen series. |
| 113 | * Vampires in ''Literature/MercyThompson'' usually live together in a "Seethe" with an acting queen or king that leads them. These rulers usually have the ability to control the vampires which live in their Seethe should they wish it. Though the actual ruler of the vampire world as a whole is The Master of Milan otherwise known as Iacapo/Jacob Bonarata. |
| 114 | * [[IceQueen Amelie]] from ''Literature/MorganvilleVampires'' was a princess in life before being turned into a vampire and has in the present, become the ruler of the town of Morganville's vampire population which also happens to contain most if not all the world's remaining vampires. |
| 115 | * ''Literature/NightfallSeries'': Prince Vladimir. Vampires have conquered humanity, so he is ruling the world as well. |
| 116 | * ''Literature/OldScores'': According to Simon and Salem, the elective post of King of All Vampires was designed to arbitrate disputes among vampires and uphold the {{Masquerade}}. Shafax, however, is taking his role as king much further than any vampire ever intended. |
| 117 | * The ''Literature/PresidentsVampire'' series by Christopher Farnsworth implies that Nathaniel Cade was turned by a 'King Vampire'; since vampires tend to be solitary apex predators and don't have a heirarchy per se, the King Vampires are implied to be the oldest, largest and most aggressive of their kind. |
| 118 | * In ''Literature/TheSagaOfDarrenShan'' and the prequel, ''Literature/TheSagaOfLartenCrepsley'', the Vampires are ruled by a group of Princes, who are promoted from the ranks of Vampire Generals. Any vampire can train to become a General, but a Prince has to nominate a General to become a Prince. |
| 119 | * ''Literature/TheShadowhunterChronicles'': Vampires don't have a single monarch but rather a series of covens, each headed by a leader. |
| 120 | ** The New York vampire clan is headed by Raphael Santiago, but it is revealed that Raphael usurped the position from Camille Belcourt, who was forced into hiding after Raphael reported to the Clave that she had been hunting humans, in defiance of the Accords. Camille later returns and attempts to reclaim her position by allying with Lilith. However, she is assassinated by young vampire Maureen Brown, while Raphael is captured by Sebastian Morgenstern and dies sacrificing himself to save Magnus Bane. Maureen then reigns as leader until she is killed in turn by Maia Roberts, who makes a deal with Maureen's second-in-command Lily Chen to depose her. Lily assumes the position as leader afterwards. |
| 121 | ** The London vampire clan was headed by Alexei de Quincey in the late 1800s, but he was killed off by the Shadowhunters for staging parties where vampires feasted on humans. The Shadowhunters were tipped off by Camille Belcourt, who sought revenge because Alexei murdered her werewolf lover. |
| 122 | * ''Literature/ThatTimeIGotReincarnatedAsASlime'': |
| 123 | ** There is a vampire [[MaouTheDemonKing Demon Lord]] known as the "Bloody Lord" Roy Valentine, believed by many to be this. [[spoiler:His twin brother Louis Valentine serves as the PuppetKing of the Holy Empire of Ruberios.]] |
| 124 | ** [[spoiler:The ''actual'' monarch is True Demon Lord and "Queen of Nightmares" Luminous Valentine, Roy and Louis' superior as well as Ruberios' real master and the [[GodGuise god of the Western Saints Church]]. She rules the vampire race by virtue of being [[StrongerWithAge the oldest-living and strongest vampire]], having established the Empire and her religion in order to cultivate a happy, healthy human population over which the vampire race can safely feed on from the shadows. Although technically, she is in fact the last "High Blood", the original progenitor race that created vampires (and humanity) which bear weakened versions of her full potential.]] |
| 125 | * Prince Vulkan of the Creator/RobertRMcCammon novel, ''Literature/TheyThirst'', where a horde of vampires overtly take over Los Angeles. He is referred to as The Master or the King. |
| 126 | * In ''Literature/TrinityBlood'', Empress Augusta Vradica the First is the leader of the Methuselah vampires of "The New Human Empire". She usually hides what she really looks like, sometimes using an underling to pose as her. [[spoiler:In reality, she is Seth Nightroad, a Crusnik Vampire [[FoodChainOfEvil that can feed on Methuselah vampires]], and is ReallySevenHundredYearsOld despite looking like a young girl.]] |
| 127 | * In ''Literature/TheTwilightSaga'', there is the Volturi, a coven which considers itself the government of all vampires. It is headed by Aro, Marcus and Caius, with Aro acting as the leader. |
| 128 | * Akasha, the Queen of the Damned from ''Literature/TheVampireChronicles'': a co-ruler of ancient Egypt with her husband Enkil, she became the [[MonsterProgenitor first vampire]] when a powerful spirit merges with her blood. [[spoiler: This links her to every vampire in the world, who will suffer and die as she does; though this is avoided by another vampire eating her heart and brain to become its new host.]] |
| 129 | * Count Szandor is a VampireMonarch in ''Literature/TheVampireCountess'' by Creator/PaulFeval, being the GreaterScopeVillain behind the title character. |
| 130 | * ''Literature/VampireHunterD'': |
| 131 | ** Count Magnus Lee. In the anime, we meet his youngest daughter Lamika, who, even though she deeply resents his actions, can do no more than argue with him or [[spoiler:try to get Doris away]] -she can't oppose him directly herself. |
| 132 | ** Although he's never seen, there's [[{{Dracula}} D's father]], referred to in the original {{light novel}}s as "The Revered Ancestor". In the anime, Count Magnus refers to him as the noblest of all, and other comments indicate Dracula is the first vampire and ancestor on that world. |
| 133 | [[/folder]] |
| 134 | |
| 135 | [[folder:Live-Action TV]] |
| 136 | * ''Series/BeingHumanUK'' has Mr Snow, the head of the Old Ones. He's never actually ''called'' a king, but he acts like one and all the vampires treats him as such. Similarily, the US version has Mother, a vampire implied to be far older than the thousand-year-old council of the Dutch, who rules over them all. While not explicity referenced as the first vampire or queen, her daughter Suren is called a royal on multiple occasions. |
| 137 | * The Master in ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'', who was the Big Bad of Season 1 and vampiric ancestor of major characters Darla, Angel, Drusilla and Spike. Kakistos from one episode of Season 3 is a minor example. Sunday, a one off character from Season 4, is shown likewise to be the leader in her small band of vampires. And Dracula, while not following the rules of the series, kinda has this as well when we meet him. [[spoiler:In the canonical comic continuation, Dracula briefly uses a RealityWarper book to make himself the official king of all vampires, but is subject to BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor because vampires start coming out of the woodwork attempting a KlingonPromotion]]. |
| 138 | * The ''Series/{{Charmed|1998}}'' episode "Bite Me" has the girls fight the [[LesbianVampire Vampire]] [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Queen]], [[EvilVersusEvil an enemy]] of [[BigBad the Source]]. Killing her [[NoOntologicalInertia destroys every vampire descended from her]] and also [[StatusQuoIsGod rehumanizes]] Paige, who was temporarily turned into a vampire but hadn't fed on human blood yet. |
| 139 | * In the ''Series/DoctorWho'' story "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS18E4StateOfDecay State of Decay]]", the head vampire is an EldritchAbomination. Once the Doctor stakes it with a rocket ship, the other (human) vampires crumble to dust. |
| 140 | * ''Series/FromDuskTillDawn'''s Santanico Pandemonium [[spoiler:is actually a subversion]]. She rules over the vampiric hordes of the Titty Twister [[spoiler:but is herself subordinate (read: slave) to the leaders of TheCartel[=/=]{{Cult}} of the Culebras, who are themselves subordinate to [[GreaterScopeVillain the Nine Lords of Night]], the heads of vampire hierarchy who fit this trope much better. Doubly subverted in Season 3, when the Lords are killed off, leaving Santanico as the last remaining leader to the vampires]]. |
| 141 | * ''Series/KamenRiderKiva'' features the [[BigBad Bat Fangire]]. Otherwise known as King, he is the lord of all [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Fangires]] and a genocidal maniac and tyrant. King led a genocidal purge of the Franken and Merman races which reduced both to only one surviving individual from each because of his FantasticRacism and his belief in the superiority of Fangires. After his [[spoiler:[[KarmicDeath death in 1986 by his own son]]]], the position of Fangire ruler is eventually won by [[spoiler:[[TheHero Wataru Kurenai/Kamen Rider Kiva]]]] who helps establish peace compared to his evil predecessor. In fact, "Kiva" is short for "[=KIng=] of [=VAmpires=]", befitting as it is meant to be the Fangire King's combat regalia. |
| 142 | * The as-yet-unseen Master from ''Series/PennyDreadful'' probably qualifies, if the vassal-like behavior of the lesser vampires and TheRenfield from Season One is any example. In season 3, the Master Vampire is revealed to be [[spoiler: {{Dracula}}, who is intent upon seducing Vanessa to rule the apocalypse by his side. She [[HeroicSacrifice has other plans]].]] |
| 143 | * ''Series/PowerRangersMysticForce'' has Necrolai. It comes with great perks: she and those she personally turns into vampires are immune to the usual vampire weaknesses. She herself cannot die by any means (even the one thing that could ''supposedly'' destroy a vampire queen for good was found and used fairly early on. She went 'kaboom' with a spectacular lights show at the end of an epic battle... only to re-form from dust that same night.) |
| 144 | * ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' reveals the Alpha Vampire in season 6. He is the progenitor of all the subsequent vampires, while he himself was sired by the mother of all the monster races. It's implied he might be tens of thousands of years old, he has a psychic connection to all his "children", and orders them to turn more people to prepare for a war against [[spoiler:Crowley's demons]]. |
| 145 | * In ''Series/TrueBlood'' vampires are ruled by a system of Monarchs, who in turn answer to an NGO, which acts as the MouthOfSauron to an OmniscientCouncilOfVagueness. Vampire culture also recognizes a mythological progenitor queen in the form of Myth/{{Lilith}}. So far the monarchs we've seen are.. |
| 146 | ** Sophie-Anne Leclerq of Louisiana. [[spoiler:Made Bill her dragon while Bill was TheMole for the pro-mainstreaming movement, so as soon as it became convenient the Authority had her staked and replaced with Bill.]] |
| 147 | ** Russell Edgington of Mississippi. [[spoiler:Though he may have lost the position when he became a rogue human murderer, and now that he's met the true death it's unclear if he's been replaced.]] |
| 148 | ** [[spoiler:Bill Compton of Louisiana, replacing Sophie-Anne after the Authority killed her. He's more of a puppet to the Authority then she ever was, though.]] |
| 149 | * ''Series/TheVampireDiaries'': |
| 150 | ** Klaus is the at the top of the vampire hierarchy. He is an Original, meaning that many vampires in existence are created from his bloodline. |
| 151 | ** Klaus' siblings (of which Rebekah and Elijah are still living) count as a kind of pseudo vampire royalty. Being the very first vampires, they are widely recognized as the oldest, strongest, and most powerful vampires. And all other vampires in existence are descended from them. |
| 152 | * ''Series/VanHelsing2016'': |
| 153 | ** Vampires tend to group together in packs led by particularly strong ones, who in turn tend to be subservient to older and more powerful vampires known as Ancients who hold sway over larger swaths of territory. For example, Dmitri (the BigBad of the first two seasons) is the Ancient who rules over Seattle and much of the surrounding countryside, with Julius being a particularly notable pack leader under his command. |
| 154 | ** [[MonsterLord Elders]] don't directly rule over their kin, but having been granted exceptional power taken directly from [[MonsterProgenitor the Dark One]] gives them a lot of authority when they feel like applying it. |
| 155 | ** The aforementioned Dark One, Dracula, is the undisputed [[SamusIsAGirl Queen]] of all vampires, due to a combination of seniority and [[AsskickingLeadsToLeadership sheer power]]. |
| 156 | [[/folder]] |
| 157 | |
| 158 | [[folder:Tabletop Games]] |
| 159 | * Dracula is the leader of the Vampire Nation in ''TabletopGame/HaltEvilDoer!'' He's also the first vampire, even though there were vampires long before he died; it's a bit [[TimeyWimeyBall timey wimey]]. |
| 160 | * The Wan Kuei of ''TabletopGame/KindredOfTheEast'' trace the foundation of their society to Xue, the Grand Arhat, the first of their kind to reach full enlightenment, who's no longer around by the present day. The Wan Kuei counterpart to a prince is an "ancestor", a sufficiently enlightened vampire who oversees a city or region. |
| 161 | * ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'': |
| 162 | ** On the plane of Innistrad, [[http://magiccards.info/m12/en/109.html Sorin Markov's]] grandfather Edgar Markov is the head of House Markov and [[MonsterProgenitor the first vampire]][[note]]or at least the first ''on Innistrad''; Magic takes place in a multiverse and vampires have independently appeared on several planes[[/note]]. Sorin's relationship with his grandfather is somewhat strained since Sorin never forgave Edgar for [[IHateYouVampireDad turning him into the second vampire]] on Innistrad, partly because the process was painful enough to awaken Sorin's planeswalker spark (the spark can only be awakened by extreme trauma). Edgar and the other vampires resent Sorin for [[spoiler:creating Avacyn, the guardian angel of Innistrad's human population.]] Sorin left Innistrad to explore the multiverse. When he returned, he was disgusted to see that the safeguards and institutions he had left behind to keep Innistrad safe had fallen apart. Sorin grimly resumed his duties as the [[http://magiccards.info/dka/en/142.html Lord of Innistrad]]. |
| 163 | ** The original example of this trope from ''Magic'' is [[http://magiccards.info/hl/en/1.html Baron Sengir]], the progenitor of the ever-popular [[http://magiccards.info/al/en/36.html Sengir Vampires]]. The Baron despotically rules a fiefdom of oppressed humans at the head of a depraved family of vampires, {{Evil Sorcerer}}s, and human turncoats. |
| 164 | ** In Ixalan, vampirism is a religious ritual, and vampires follow both the church and crown. Saint Elenda was the first vampire, but she has since disappeared, and now most follow orders from Queen Miralda. [[spoiler:Turns out that Saint Elenda is furious at [[CorruptChurch what the vampires have become]], and is now heading back to give the church and crown a piece of her mind]]. |
| 165 | * Master Vampires are the rulers of vampires in ''TabletopGame/{{Rifts}}''. They serve (and are [[DealWithTheDevil created directly by]]) the ultimate source of the infestation, [[EldritchAbomination the Vampire Intelligence]]. |
| 166 | * ''TabletopGame/VampireTheMasquerade'': |
| 167 | ** Averted by Caine, the MonsterProgenitor of the species and the most powerful vampire, who isn't interested in ruling the kindred. The Antediluvians, Caine's grandchildren thirteen ancient vampires who survived the Deluge and spawned the thirteen vampiric clans, could be considered the current rulers of vampire society. Of the ones who aren't either dead, sleeping or busy with other affairs, their rule is indirect and done via a great distance. |
| 168 | ** Vampire society in the two major sects (the Camarilla and the Sabbat) is very stratified by generation and rank. The Camarilla has Princes, elder vampires who each claim domain over a major city and is practically its king (the Camarilla Inner Circle is a council of Princes and can overrule a Prince, but they are otherwise autonomous). The Sabbat, meanwhile, have a straight-up pyramid, with the Regent of Mexico City on top ruling the entire sect. |
| 169 | ** Averted by the Anarchs, the largest of the minor sects. As can be indicated by their name, they tend to avoid hierarchies or kings. Anarchs have barons, which are vampires who claim Domain over a territory and may have other vampires working with or for them, but those relationships are based entirely on personal power or respect. |
| 170 | * The TabletopGame/NewWorldOfDarkness version, ''TabletopGame/VampireTheRequiem'', has done away with the concept of active progenitor (a key point of the setting is that nobody really knows how vampires came about), but maintained the feudal hierarchy of a prince ruling a city's vampiric population. |
| 171 | * ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer}} Fantasy'': |
| 172 | ** Vampires are all ultimately descended from one of seven original vampires created by Queen Neferata of Lahmia, in her partially successful attempt to recreate the Great Necromancer Nagash's Elixir of Immortality. Neferata was herself the first of the seven, and for a while ruled openly over all vampires, when they were still resident in the city of Lahmia in ancient days. When Lahmia fell to Neferata's enemies the vampires fled across the world, and though she still exists and rules over her own scattered bloodline as a queen, no other vampires owe her fealty anymore. |
| 173 | ** On a smaller scale, the von Carstein bloodline in Sylvania are organized along feudal lines, with the most powerful ruling the others as Count (albeit only nominally in many cases). Initially this was Vlad von Carstein, but upon his eventual death Konrad von Carstein succeeded in becoming top vampire, then he died and was succeeded by Mannfred von Carstein who also died but was later resurrected with a host of lesser vampires (and the occasional "human" necromancer) ruling between his two reigns. |
| 174 | *** Vlad von Carstein is especially notable for being [[FounderOfTheKingdom the first vampire of the von Carstein bloodline]] and the first vampire to rule Sylvania, with his ambitions to rule the Empire in the First Vampire War motivated by the goal of unifying the infighting states. He is [[AffablyEvil known for his courtesy to those who gain his respect,]] [[PragmaticVillainy being a more just and fair ruler]] than the previous Otto von Drak, and his [[UnholyMatrimony marriage to Isabella von Carstein,]] [[HappilyMarried who he is deeply in love with.]] With reveals in the End Times that [[spoiler: Vlad von Carstein was once known as Vashanesh of Nehekhara, a Nehekharan warrior who [[BeenThereShapedHistory was made Nefarata's husband and last of the original vampires]] during the fall of Lahmia,]] Vlad is an even stronger example of this trope owing to being [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld one of the oldest vampires and rulers]] in the setting. |
| 175 | * Vampire Lord and Vampire Genesis in the ''TabletopGame/YuGiOh'' card game. |

| 179 | * Creator/ArtixEntertainment's ''VideoGame/AdventureQuest'' series of games have Safiria as the Vampire Queen of Darkovia. |
| 180 | * ''VideoGame/{{Arknights}}'': The leader of the Vampire Sarkaz is known as the Sanguinarch, and the current one is a bloodthirsty ZeroPercentApprovalRating sadist that mass murders people just to feed his own thirst for blood. |
| 181 | * ''VideoGame/{{Bloodborne}}'': Queen Annalise of the Vilebloods is both aristocratic nobility and one of the many blood-worshipping undead in the city. She's also the ruler of an empty castle, since the church executioners TookALevelInBadass (discovered how to drain blood themselves, invented trick weapons for changing fighting styles from man to beast on the fly, and guns. Lots of guns.) and killed every other vampiric Vileblood. You can join her covenant and trade blood dregs for prestige, though that also makes you hostile to executioner players. If you follow Alfred's quest line, he'll kill her off himself. She can be resurrected easily. |
| 182 | * ''VideoGame/BloodRayne'' had [[BigBad Kagan]], [[{{Dhampyr}} the main protagonist's]] [[IHateYouVampireDad vampire father]] who also leads a cult devoted in furthering his cause. Justified by the fact the vampires are literally his children. |
| 183 | * {{Dracula}} from the ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'' series, lord of all vampires and mortal enemy of the Belmont clan. |
| 184 | * Lazarus Malkoth in ''VideoGame/DarkWatch'', a vampire lord who unleashes a undead apocalypse upon the Old West upon being released and turns the main protagonist, Jericho Cross, into a vampire. Its Jericho's goal to find and kill Lazarus so he can reclaim his soul and become human again. [[spoiler:In the game's evil ending, Jericho can become this trope when he chooses to absorb Lazarus' power for himself rather than getting cured]]. |
| 185 | * ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'': |
| 186 | ** ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind Morrowind]]'' has three vampire "clans" and every vampire on Vvardenfell is of their blood. Though none claim an aristocratic title, these clans are ruled by their leaders - Dhaunayne Aundae, Raxle Berne, and Volrina Quarra. The one whose clan you join becomes your primary questgiver in the vampire questline, though they generally view you with disdain. |
| 187 | ** In ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]''[='s=] ''Dawnguard'' DLC, a superpowered race of vampires is pitted against an [[CreatureHunterOrganization organization of vampire hunters]], the titualar Dawnguard. The Vampire faction is led by a Lord Harkon, who fits the bill quite nicely. If you join the vampire side, you'll end up displacing Harkon and becoming this trope yourself. |
| 188 | * ''VideoGame/KingsQuestIIRomancingTheStones'' has a ZigZagged case with Count Caldur of Kolyma. In life, he was the rightful ruler of the land. After he had been turned into one by his political rivals (an order of ultra-conservative monks who cut a deal with evil spirits in the forest and became werewolves), he retreated from his duties out of shame and an attempt to protect his surviving family (a wife and granddaughter). With Graham's help, he turns his wife and granddaughter into vampires (keeping them safe from his enemies), the werewolf priests are trapped in the swamp, and he is able to resume his position as ruler and custodian of the realm. |
| 189 | * ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' has Vladimir the Crimson Reaper, who isn't strictly a vampire (being an immortal human who keeps himself alive using BloodMagic is close enough), but evokes this alongside [[WickedCultured his remarkably classy taste]]. In present-day Noxus ([[BeenThereShapedHistory an empire that he secretly co-founded]] along with [[AncientConspiracy the Black Rose]]), he has a CultOfPersonality surrounding him known as The Crimson Circle, largely consisting of similarly aspiring aristocrats seeking to learn and elevate themselves from Vladimir's blood magic and deft political hand. |
| 190 | * In ''VideoGame/LegacyOfKain'', Kain is the oldest existing vampire, the progenitor of all other existing vampires, the last surviving Guardian of the Pillars of Nosgoth, and the ruler of the known world. He was preceded by Vorador who, while not actually a king, was certainly extremely wealthy and ruled "a private kingdom" in the Termogent Forest. |
| 191 | * The FinalBoss of ''VideoGame/MonsterHunterPC'' is an all-powerful Vampire Lord, called The Count, who needs to be staked 6 times before he's defeated. He's also the progenitor and leader of the armies of monsters the player spend the past 200 or so levels battling. |
| 192 | * In ''VideoGame/RuneScape'', the baleful land of Morytania is ruled by one Lord Lowerniel Vergidiyad Drakan. After his defeat, his sister [[TheStarscream Vanescula]] takes the throne. |
| 193 | * ''VideoGame/SagaFrontier''. Orlouge is the lord of the [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Mystics]], ruling over the kingdom of Facinaturu. [[spoiler: In the Full Mystic ending, he's overthrown by Asellus who [[ThenLetMebeEvil snapped]] after receiving nothing but [[HalfBreedDiscrimination Discrimination]] due to her position as the only [[{{Dhampir}} Half-Mystic]] in the setting. She becomes the new lord... [[TyrantTakesTheHelm And a worse tyrant than Orlouge ever was]]]]. |
| 194 | * In ''VideoGame/TheSecretWorld'', you adventure to a section of Romania (formerly Transylvania) that is under siege by an army of vampires led by [[spoiler:Vampire Queen Mara]]. |
| 195 | * Remilia Scarlet from ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' clearly '''wants''' to give off this vibe. But Remilia is also as close to an Evil Eye-type {{chuunibyou}} as a legitimate and powerful vampire can be, so any affirmations she makes in the matter should be taken with a grain of salt. As it stands, Remilia's authority doesn't seem to extend much past the [[{{Mooks}} fairies]], NinjaMaid and gatekeeper of her Scarlet Devil Mansion, and the only other vampire seen in the setting so far is her own sister, leaving her without very much to rule over. |
| 196 | * Lord Redgrave in ''VideoGame/Vampyr2018'' is the chairman of the [[CouncilOfVampires Ascalon Club]] and therefore, the effective ruler of British vampire society. Downplayed, since he doesn't [[MonsterLord derive his authority from his age and power]] by claiming descendance to TheOlderImmortal, but from political influence, wealth and ultimately [[spoiler:deception as he is secretly a lesser vampire who fooled everyone else]]. On the other hand, [[spoiler:[[BigBad The Red Queen]] plays it straight due to having created their kind and being far older and powerful, and though not an actual ruler like Redgrave, she is revered as a goddess instead]]. |

| 200 | * In the extended {{Franchise/Nasuverse}}, Brunestud of the Crimson Moon. He served as the template for the natural-born True Ancestor vampires and held sway over both them and the formerly-human Dead Apostles. After his death at the hands of Zelretch, the closest things he has to a successor are the "King of the Dead Apostles" Trhvmn Ortenrosse, the "unstable" Altrouge Brunestud, and the last True Ancestor [[{{VisualNovel/Tsukihime}} Arcueid Brunestud]], the latter two inheriting his name due to having the potential to one day host his reincarnation. Technically, there is a list of 27 "Dead Apostle Ancestors" who have a claim on ruling over the vampires, but in practice most of them follow either Ortenrosse or Altrouge (while Arcueid busies herself trying to kill all of them). |

| 203 | [[folder:Webcomics]] |
| 204 | * ''Webcomic/CharbyTheVampirate'' has King Rodericke Robinson as king of the [[OurVampiresAreDifferent born vampires]]. |
| 205 | * ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' plays with this. In the [[BlandNameProduct Magical Gatherings]] card game, the vampire lord is O.P. Aludrakrala... a vampire pro wrestler. |
| 206 | * ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'' has Queen Lysinda, leader of the Lysinda circle of vampires; and later Philinnon, leader of the Vrykolakas vampires. [[FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire Sam Sein]] becomes the last surviving member of the Lysinda circle and renames it the Sam Cirkail Mamajama, but [[SuperLoser can't convince anyone to join him]]. Later, it's revealed that the first vampire, Drakku, was the GodEmperor of vampires. [[spoiler: After the Strakoi vampires almost destroy the Vrykolakas, the few non-Strakoi vampire survivors crown Sam as the new high king of vampires and the successor of Drakku. The idea comes from Urja, who thinks he's the only one fit to rule because of how he has [[InvincibleIncompetent managed to prevail with all the other vampires wanting him dead before]]. It only takes one comic for her to grow sick of him and stake him (leaving him "alive" but unconscious) and toss him in the broom cupboard to be king there.]] |
| 207 | * ''Fanfic/TotalUndeadDrama'': Storm though an unintentional example since he really only want to feed on one person (Sadie) and things escalated due to her loving that she was turned by a vampire and devoted to him. Ultimately Storm just rolled with it. |
| 208 | * ''Webcomic/TrueVillains'' has Malanor, King of the Vampires and part-time LargeHam. [[spoiler:He is also the [[MonsterProgenitor First Vampire]], acknowledged [[http://www.truevillains.com/comic-2015-11-20-Faith-jpg.htm strongest sorcerer in the world]], and a threat to all life on the continent.]] |
| 209 | * ''Webcomic/{{Zoophobia}}'' refers to Venganza as a "queen". |

| 214 | * In ''Literature/{{Necromancer|EndMaster}}'' and ''Death Song'', Lord Rostov is the leader of the vampires. |
| 215 | * The short story ''Vampire Castes'' describes this kind of government complete with a [[FantasticCasteSystem Fantastic Caste System]] of different kinds of humans under the vampires. |

| 218 | [[folder: Western Animation]] |
| 219 | * ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' has Marceline the Vampire Queen. The relevance of her status as a monarch is debatable: Other vampires are unseen, and eventually the ''Stakes'' miniseries shows Marceline is LastOfHerKind, and got the title by process of elimination, having [[spoiler: all but exterminated vampires before being turned herself]]. She was also nobility of a sort even before becoming a vampire, because her Demonic father is the undisputed ruler of an entire FireAndBrimstoneHell and she is his (reluctant) heir. Marceline was shown participating in Princess Day in the episode of the same name, but whether she's there as Queen of the Vampires, Princess of the Nightosphere, or just crashing the event is never mentioned. |
| 220 | * ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' has [[spoiler: Queen Chrysalis, the queen of the Changelings]], a species that could be compared to vampires (as well as succubi). The throne has since been usurped by [[spoiler:Thorax, a friendly Changeling that Spike met during Season 6]]. |
| 221 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'': In a WesternAnimation/TreehouseOfHorror episode based on ''Film/BramStokersDracula'', in order to de-vampirize Bart they have to kill the head vampire. So Homer kills Mr. Burns, thinking he's the head. Turns out he's not -- Marge is... who happens to be his wife. |
| 222 | -->''I do have a life outside this house, you know.'' |
| 223 | * ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries'' had a Queen of the Vampires, Miriam, as ComicBook/{{Blade}}'s main [[BigBad antagonist]], voiced by none other than Creator/NichelleNichols. Bonus points for making her [[ArchnemesisDad his mother]]. |
