In terms of characterization…he is not a vampire (is he??). He is a vampire spawn that has been kept in a basement eating rats for 500 years and only allowed out at his master’s command to lure in victims that he watched being tortured. So if he does not live up to powerful dark beings of the vampires of yore, then I am ok with it. Because he is not a true vampire.
My issue with him is the overblown cheesiness of his character. He is very hammed up and overacted. But still, I find him OK. Less whiny than Shadowheart and not as annoying as Wyll.
