Decided to compromise and post a different character relating to the other two.
This is Selver. He's notably not a vampire, but rather a damphir/vampire spawn, meaning he gets most of the vampire powers (and weaknesses) but can't turn others into vampires. That's also unrelated to how his mandibles look, they've just always been like that.
He's a total prick, but once you get to know him better... well, he's still a prick. That's probably why Anthony and Verald are among the few people who actually put up with his BS. He's kinda their third wheel in a sense, though contrary to what you might expect he's usually the one getting pulled into the other two's bullshit as he's not a fan of causing drama as much as he like to watch it from the sidelines.
Him and Anthony actually go wayyyyy back. A part of the reason why the two of them work together is because Anthony helped him get rid of his previous Vampire Master(tm) (name pending). Once Selver was free he didn't really have anything better to do so he decided to help Anthony with his exploits (and totally not because he cares about him, b-baka). When it comes to Verald, the two of them had a bit of a rocky start. Selver and Anthony had a bit of a weird situationship going on at the moment when Verald came into the picture (or rather came back, long story). That made him lash out in jealousy and panic at the possibility of losing his one positive relationship in his entire life. Thankfully it was all resolved with the power of Communication, in large part thanks to Verald nagging Anthony to set things straight instead of just avoiding/ignoring the problem like he usually would. That also helped Selver's opinion of Verald become a bit more positive and eventually they also bonded over a shared interest in magic (in D&D terms, Selver is a Warlock). The three of them aren't exactly in a throuple because Selver is asexual and neither Anthony nor Verald are romantically interested in him, but they're basically like, as close to that as possible without it actually being a proper relationship, technically. Queer platonic polyamory or some such thing, you could call it. Selver is much more okay with it now but sometimes is still salty about it because he's a hopeless romantic. (Don't worry, I've already got a different guy waiting for him)
