Description
Armand Gandesblood is the Chancellor of the Mulnite Empire and the father of the protagonist, Terakomari Gandesblood. He is a tall and powerful vampire whose age and experience grant him a significant position within the empire's hierarchy. His history is tied to the current Empress, Karen Helvetius, as he was her junior during their student days, suggesting a long-standing acquaintance that reaches the highest levels of imperial power.
In his role as a father, Armand is defined by an intense and overprotective love for his daughter, Komari. His primary motivation is her safety and well-being, a drive that manifests in both caring and ruthless actions. Recognizing that Komari possesses a dangerous and uncontrollable power known as the Crimson Solitude of the Scarlet Blood, Armand took drastic measures to protect her from herself. He used hypnosis to instill in her a deep-seated hatred for blood, effectively suppressing her vampiric instincts and abilities to prevent her from losing control.
His protective nature extends beyond psychological manipulation to outright cruelty against any perceived threat to his daughter. When Millicent Bluenight and her family engaged in harassment that caused Komari significant distress, Armand responded with brutal efficiency. He falsely accused the entire Bluenight family of high treason, an offense that led to their exile from the empire. This act reveals a cold and merciless side to his personality, a stark contrast to the doting father he shows Komari, demonstrating that he is willing to wield his political power as Chancellor to destroy his enemies without hesitation.
Armand's role in the story is largely that of a powerful, off-screen force whose past actions have shaped the present circumstances of his daughter and the empire. His decision to seal Komari's powers is the very reason she is perceived as weak and becomes a social outcast, setting the stage for her journey. He maintains a relationship with key figures in the imperial court, such as Karen Helvetius, placing him at the center of the empire's political landscape. While not always present in the daily events of Komari's life, his influence and formidable reputation loom over the narrative. As a chancellor and a senior vampire, his notable abilities include not only his inherent vampiric strength but also the political cunning to orchestrate false treason charges and the mental prowess to hypnotize his own daughter for her protection.
