Volkihar Clan (Dawnguard)



The Volkihar Clan are a faction of vampires, led by Lord Harkon, the main antagonist in.

They reside in a large fortress that rests on a secluded island in the Sea of Ghosts, called Castle Volkihar. If the Dragonborn joins the Volkihar Vampires, the castle can be used as a home.

History
The bloodline began with Lord Harkon after he pledged himself to the Daedric Prince Molag Bal, and in his name he sacrificed a thousand innocents. In return, Molag Bal granted him immortality by turning him and his family into pure-blood vampires. They went on to become the progenitors of the clan.

Hierarchy

 * While it is never directly stated, Lord Harkon is essentially the Head Vampire or their Dark Lord.
 * Once Lord Harkon is defeated the player (if a vampire lord) should be considered the new Dark Lord of the Vampires. If the Dragonborn is not a vampire the title should transfer to Valerica if it ever belonged to Harkon
 * Harkon & his family are technically royalty even if the kingdom in which they reign is no more.
 * Vingalmo and Orthjolf are Harkon's advisors & the highest ranking members of the court outside of the royal family.
