3. Seymour Fishburn - Vampyr

The game Vampyr is not one for the faint of heart, like many vampire-related games. There are numerous people in the game that you can feast upon as the titular neck-biter, but you get more life essence from them if you learn their secrets.

One such potential meal is Seymour Fishburn, described in the game as "highly aggressive in nature". Seymour's known for getting into fights, but dotes on his mother. Some of the secrets you can find out about Seymour are that his mother is helping cover up his violent nature and that he dislikes the street urchin she has taken in.

Oh, also that he's a serial murderer and has left a pile of corpses in a sewer pipe just beneath his home. Some of the folks you can 'embrace' - that is eat - are hard to justify: The hard-working nurse who deserves better, the soldier having trouble openly confessing his adoration to his gay lover, or the woman you rescue from another vampire.

But Seymour? Oh boy is there plenty of reason to 'put down the mad dog' and end his killing spree. Though you can also cure him of his own desire to kill by eating his mother and the urchin, weirdly enough.
