  • Complete Monster:
    • Professor James Moriarty is the man behind the titular undead. Having sustained fatal injuries after falling down the Reichenbach Falls during a confrontation with Holmes, he ordered his henchman Colonel Moran to inject him with a serum that turned him into a revenant. With his mind still intact, he returned to London and began to secretly abduct people to turn them into mindless revenants under his control. As soon as he had a sizeable army, he unleashed them into the streets of the city, killing or turning a large number of its population. When Moran, the man who saved his life and served him with Undying Loyalty, refused his offer to be turned into a sapient undead, Moriarty attempted to forcefully turn him into another one of his minions. Already a ruthless man with great ambition in life, his only goal now was to turn every living souls on Earth into a revenant and establish a kingdom of death with himself as eternal monarch.
    • Vlad Dracula was a ruthless warlord who threw plague corpses into cities, impaled captured enemies and drank the blood of his victims. Centuries later, he reemerged as a vampire and—with the help of the British agent Arthur Holmwood—attempted to take over the Empire. Growing impatient with Holmwood, who preferred a more subtle approach, Dracula decided to take matters into his own hands by starting a plague outbreak and claiming the throne in the ensuing chaos. To achieve this he abducted several people, turned them into mindless thralls and planned to use them as plague carriers. When the plan failed and Holmwood called him out for his impatience, Dracula told him that he had outlived his usefulness and had one of his vampire minions feed on him. Finally being exposed and cornered by the heroes during a masquerade ball, Dracula grabbed a body-double of the Queen, whom he believed to be the real one, and ripped out her throat in front of everyone before attempting to flee.
