Vladimer was lifemate to Sarantha Dubrinsky. They were the original mated pair, Prince and lifemate of the Carpathian people. His best friend, Roman Daratrazanoff, was his second in command, though Vlad did not confide in him about Draven's illness. Vlad and Sarantha died during the Turkish invasion in 1400. He and his lifemate currently reside in the Land of Mist, waiting until his duty is finished to go into the next life.
Before the Dark[]
Vlad is one of six main characters in the series, the others being Sarantha, Roman, Yana, Catalina, and Hemming. He is struggling with doing what he must and providing for his lifemate's happiness by protecting his son. He talks about how he has written a journal for Mikhail, who he believes will become prince after him rather than Draven. However, it is not known if he ever gave it to Mikhail or if Mikhail ever found the journal.[1]
Dark Possession[]
When he met Manolito in the Land of Mist, and heard him confess to his family's part in the Malinov brothers' plan to overthrow him and his line, he was not disappointed in any way nor did he condemn Manolito and his brothers, or the Malinov brothers. In fact, he understood everything they had planned, agreeing that his decision to try to save Draven was not sound. After this, Vlad gave what knowledge he had to aid their people and his advice to Manolito so that he could stop Maxim. At the end of the battle of wits, which Manolito won, Vlad and Sarantha condemned Draven and sent him to the next life.
Dark Promises[]
Andre makes a reference to when Vladimer sent all of them out to destroy vampires in other lands. Andre tells Fane:
| “ | We have learned that human women with psychic abilities can be lifemates to our males. We believe that Vlad sent those of us out whom he knew to have these women as lifemates in other times so they would not be killed in the wars. He had precog. We all know that. If he knew each of us had a lifemate and we just had to endure until the right time, you know he would have sent us out. | ” |
–Andre Boroi, Dark Promises, page 84 | ||
Fane took notice of this fact, knowing that it would have been something Vladimer would have done, to save those who had lifemates waiting for them in another time and/or land.
