bela has been on this earth for a very, very, very long time. a pure blooded vampire that grew up within the infamous vlad dracula's clan. he worked hard within his ranks since he was a boy to become vlad's most trusted advisor and companion, so it's safe to say it was all he knew most of his life.
he has seen many vampires come and go; he's seen a lot of their demise by the hands of humans. the way he was raised was that humans were nothing more than a food source. their hearts beat, they aged way more rapidly than vampires did and they believed they were the superior species. at least that is how bela saw them since they took the time out of their pitiful human lives to kill his kind off.
for a while. vlad had seen his side in regards to humans and they lived their lives the way true vampires do. growing a distaste for his human appearance, vlad spent a good amount of centuries in his bat form. his bat was large and menacing and he liked looking that way. he wasn't seeking a mate or trying to impress; he was just living his life authentically.
bela was proud to serve the dracula bloodline once. at least until the hybrids starting popping up. it was a disgrace to one of the most powerful and oldest names! and the worst part was he seemed to be the only one with a real problem with that. their kind was dying in his eyes. being tainted with human blood. it just was not right! he doesn't regret going after poor dennis, he regrets not getting the job done. he lost everything because of a hybrid and that only fueled his hatred more.
being outcasted from his home showed bela that he really was out of touch with the way things were these days. he had spent so many centuries living the old ways that in order to even get close to his revenge, he needed to start working in the new ways. he shed his bat form back to his apparently handsome and more approachable human-like form and spent a good amount of time learning the tricks of the trade. of course his lingo is still outdated at times and his patience for a lot of the current trends is non-existent, but he has gotten pretty good at fooling the humans around him.
he used to never go by his first name, samuel, but now that he is in evermore it is the only name he is going by. he can't let mavis figure out his plans and he'd be lying if he said he wasn't having a bit of fun tricking the world around him.
finding a blood source to his liking in evermore is proving to be a bit difficult. he has had to go fairly old school in seducing his victims and biting them but not killing and yadda yadda yadda. blood bags are alright, but they hardly satisfy his appetite. he's found that his normal form is quite appealing to others so at least he has that to his advantage.
he likes to occupy bars and clubs the most. mostly to hunt for a meal but every now and then he has a little fun. he likes to sleep around and he isn't planning on settling down anytime soon, especially in evermore of all places. he's too revenge driven to find himself thinking about people as more than quick entertainment or an addition to his kill list.
his biggest downfall is his temper. of course he has trained himself to not fly off the handle in a literal sense or figurative one as easily as he did with his time serving vlad, but every now and then it still slips.
he honestly has no plans past his revenge. once he gets his revenge he has no idea what he is going to do next. he hates to admit it to himself, but all he has ever known was serving vlad. hurting vlad will not get his job back, so he figures his moves after dennis is to take vlad's entire family out or...or nothing, really.
absolutely hates kids. he does not want a single kid in his life. he doesn't even like to be near them. gross creatures, huge no.
his hobby is actually the one thing about him nobody expects. he really enjoys listening to podcasts. especially about the supernatural because he knows the humans are wrong. he likes to talk to himself about how wrong the humans got it.
never ask the man of his body count. the answer to both options is not something anyone would enjoy knowing.
he isn't really pretending to be human, but he isn't outing himself as a vampire outright either. his fashion taste probably gives him away more than his actions. he has never dressed down a day in his life! he doesn't even know what sweatpants are!
does not get technology. he has a phone because he knows he needs one but he hardly knows how to use it aside from accepting calls. he has no contacts saved. no apps aside from the basics. it drives him batty to see people on their phones 24/7. he feels like they are missing out on the real world and the bounties of nature!
his apartment is humbling for him. he likes flashy things but he doesn't want to give away too much of himself. most of what he owns is stolen, despite getting a job, and he doesn't let anyone over anyways so it hardly matters (to him).
he is quite fond of the theater. he likes to see the local plays and while he'll probably never admit it, he used to really love performing. shakespeare is his weakness, it is true.
