• IPA pronunciation: [dɛr totə]
  
• English translation: the Dead (One)
  

†der Tote has no specific memories of his mortal life, and as such has no known proper name. He dubbed himself "der Tote" early on, when he was still trying to understand his new life and a little depressed at the nature of it. He has since come to terms with who and what he is, and now uses the name simply because it's how he's known, and regardless of its meaning it has become his new name in his new life.

The vampire †der Tote has drunk 11307 pints of blood.

Early in 2003, †der Tote joined the Clan de Beljeferon, hoping to shield himself and his bloodline from the rumblings of the Clan Wars. Sometime later, †Lucius invited him to join the newly-created Temple of Lies, the affiliation with which he has best identified since then.
