![]() Later, the Viking Vampire Lord Godbrand approaches Isaac after a raid on a human village that was not sanctioned by Dracula, trying to convince him that Dracula is unfit to rule, but the enraged Devil Forgemaster kills him to punish his insubordination, and later disperses his ashes to the wind. He admits that he lied about only wanting to reduce numbers, but Isaac does not care. Dracula confides in him that he knows his generals are turning on him, as his goal will leave them with no-one to feed on. He and Hector forge monsters for Dracula’s army. Isaac is introduced as Dracula's only truly loyal general. As such, Dracula holds them in higher esteem than the Vampire Nobles of his court, who just follow him to feed. ![]() Hector and Isaac sided with Dracula's genocidal goals in earnest, having experienced first-hand human cruelty. He eventually became Dracula's only friend. He was rescued from bandits by Dracula, when the latter was travelling the word at the request of his wife Lisa. He spent years as a slave and learnt magic from grimoires. Isaac used to serve under a master who mistreated him and scorned him for showing him devotion and loyalty, prompting Isaac to slay him when he had enough. In addition, he is a perfect rider and fighter, wielding his dagger with enough skill to keep up with Carmilla herself, though he had to wear her down to withstand her superior might. A single fatal stab instantly transforming a victim and he can coat it with flame. Isaac uses his Forgemaster powers through his black dagger, forging corpses into undeads and monsters of all sizes, powers and sentience, animated by souls taken from Hell. He is finally able to let go of hatred and find peace, nothing that people can go beyond their first calling and deciding to live and build a future, for him and others. But his trials make him re-evaluate his beliefs and search for a new purpose. After Dracula’s death, he yearns to avenge him and restart his omnicide. Isaac is very polite, repaying kindness, only killing when pushed and warning beforehand, albeit reacting to slights with excessive violence. ![]() The only way to anger him is disloyalty and betrayal, even hinted. His loyalty to Dracula is due to the fact that he was the first to treat him kindly and value him as a person. He is a Sufi Muslim and believes in God, but delusionally thinks that emptying Hell is his will, and that Dracula will purify the world, often flogging himself in penance. He loathes humans for repaying his loyalty with ostracism, is only able to focus on the negative, and cannot fathom enjoying life or planning a future, only thinking of surviving the present. In fact, Isaac's past of hardships made him deeply misanthropic and nihilistic. In further contrast with his unhinged and over-the-top game counterpart, Isaac is very calm, aloof and unspoken, though no less ruthless and blindly loyal to Dracula, making him just as unsettling. He later starts donning opulent, yet simple-looking, blue eastern clothing. Contrary to the flamboyant redhead with garish, skin-revealing clothes and tattoos from the game, he is portrayed as a tall and bald black man, with two scars on the side of his head, clad in full Devil Forgemaster uniform.
