"Master, the Grand High Vampire is here, right now!"
- Renfield

Grand High Vampire was the name given to the unnamed character with that title, played by Richard Elfyn. He is generally portrayed as not being very nice, and persuing the evil ways of vampires, however he persues his duty of convincing Vlad he is the chosen one to the extent that he is willing to die for vampire honour.

13th Birthday

In 13th Birthday, Krone Westenra continually mentioned the Grand High Vampire, much to the destress of the Count. This was the first time the title and any kind of vampire government was mentioned.

Insomnia

In the episode Insomnia, Vlad was transported in his sleep into the dreamworld, even though he was officially too young to do so. There he met the Grand High Vampire, played by Keith-Lee Castle, who informed him he was in fact 'The Chosen One', destined to be the Grand High Vampire himself, and lead vampires out of hiding. It is unknown whether or not in this episode the character is supposed to be the Count in the form of the Grand High Vampire, as he asks Vlad in hospital who his "Grand High Vampire was" and Vlad exclaims "Dad" when he sees the GHV in the dreamworld. Vlad then fought him by opening up holes in the ceiling and letting the sunlight come through. However, when he had supposedly defeated the Grand High Vampire, who says to kill him and take his rightful place on the throne, Vlad chose not to and put his head in a beam of sunlight, transporting him back into the real world with cries of "No!" from the Grand High Vampire.

When Vampires Go Bad

In When Vampires Go Bad, the Grand High Vampire made his first proper appearance, played by Richard Elfyn, when he visited the Count at Castle Dracula in Stokely with Boris Dracula, who was at the time disguised as Justice Moori. He came after many letters had been sent to him by Krone and Atilla Westenra, several guests at the Hunt Ball, and Boris Dracula, made alligations against the Count to do with fratinising with breathers and slayers, which was ultimately ment to lead to the Count's execution. However, he was then killed just before midnight, and after a lengthy investigation, it is revealed that it was in fact Boris Dracula, disguised as Justice Moori, that did it.

The Chosen One

In The Chosen One, the ghost of the Grand High Vampire comes back to haunt Vladimir Dracula, to inform him that he must put on the crown of power and make take the title of Grand High Vampire, due to being the chosen one. He continually comes back and forth throughout the episode until Vlad finally agrees to put on the crown in order to save his father, and he comes back once more to say "you will known you are the chosen one when you sacrifice the life you love, for the family you love".
