Mircea has an amazing back story, one that is essential to the prequel; Knights of the Vampire: Helgar the Horrible. Mircea is the embodiment of evil. Essentially a bully, a psychically very strong man and a former Knight Templar from the Kingdom of Mircea who wanders into the Black Forest some 20 years before KOTV and spreads his vulgarity, deviancy and madness upon the residents of the Black Forest. It is the crimes that him and his band of deserters that destine him to a life of eternal misery in the Black Forest. God comes onto him in the form of a young girl in a yellow cloak. She speaks with the deep, booming voice of god and denounces Mircea and his band of cannibals to a life of hell within the confines of the forest for forever time. There punishment of eating only any wandering animals at night is all they have festered on in 20 years until 13 young Christan knights wander into the forest by accident.Mircea was always a Predator-like figure in my mind. Big, scar running down his left eye with a patch. A history of violence on his face. His white surcoat dirty and unrecognisable after 20 years, indeed he could do away with that and where a black cloak like any self respecting Vampire would. Mircea's cannibalistic acts in the name of God are his curse and he cannot escape it until an opportunity arises in KOTV. Mircea, the desolate one, reigns supreme in his small black forest empire, imprisoned by daylight, he can never leave without his flesh burning in the light. A prisoner of his own making, bitter and twisted over time and at the mercy of his own sins.
