Bio: Mercer Vanne was born in Wayrest in 4E 76 into an extremely poor family. When he was 26, he was infected with Sanguinare Infernis, an extremely rare strain of Vampirism, and became an Infernal Vampire. His affliction drove him underground, to the Wayrest Sewers, where he resided for nearly one hundred years. During this time, he developed a deep distrust of most mortals. Mercer decided that, since mortals could only ever think of him as a Vampire, he would cast off his human name and adopt the name of his affliction; Infernis. When the Dawnguard reformed and Vampires began spreading across Skyrim, Infernis began hearing rumors of a powerful Vampire clan in Skyrim, the Volkihar Clan. He set out for Skyrim, traveling only in the safety of night.
