Clan Fulger

Clan Fulger is one of the current five Vampire Count clans appointed by the Vampire King, Vlad Tepes. It is currently lead by Countess Annasthashia Fulger, and is the clan responsible for domestic affairs and food distribution. Their territory is located East of Nightingale, a milder place, where it always seems to be in autumn.

Responsibilites
Clan Fulger is responsible for the domestic affairs of the vampire world, they are also responsible for all the 'food' in the vampire world. There territory is where all products like 'blood crystals' are created and sold to all vampires.

Disgrace
A few days before Victor's conversion, Niklaus Horseman approached Countess Annasthashia Fulger to request a match against her, betting her Countess title on the line. Likewise, Niklaus piqued Natasha's curiosity by revealing that he has a hybrid in his possession. Considering that hybrids are controversial creature, the Countess quickly agreed to the match despite the repercussions. Following Niklaus' plans, the match went in his favor and Countess Annasthashia lost her family's hard earned Count title in a disgraceful defeat.

Restored title
Under the urging of Victor Walker, ex-Countess Natashia herself, visits the Horseman territory to request another match. The Countess quickly wagers her family's Divine treasure to ensnare Niklaus into her ploy, and unsurprisingly, the Count immediately agrees and the match is set to start in three days. Before the match's start however, Niklaus orders his daughter Jessica to evacuate their entire clan outside of Nightingale—fearing that something is amiss.

During the match, the ex-Countess was able to overwhelm Niklaus, but was unable to permanently destroy him. After a couple exchange of blows, Niklaus was able to gain the upper hand by successfully poisoning Natashia, and was ready to deliver her the final blow but Victor's timely appearance saved the woman and caused Niklaus to lose his momentum. After the youngest Count's interference, Niklaus senses a trap set by the Vampire King himself and judges it is wiser to forfeit lest he reveals valuable secrets from his clan that may only serve to incriminate them further. Following the match's conclusion, Niklaus lost his Count status while Natashia successfully regained hers.

Betrayal
After Count Alucard discovers a shady group plotting to usurp Countess Agnes' and Countess Annasthsia's Count titles, it is revealed that several Snow and Fulger clan member have turned coats and have infiltrated the two clan's inner workings for several years, and were gradually stirring the clan towards a change in leadership. Additionally, the traitors sought to exploit the two clans heiresses as birth machines for new generations of vampire nobles, which greatly caught Count Alucard's ire. However, thanks to Count Alucard's timely intervention, the traitors were all brutally slaughtered—thwarting the organization's schemes.

Laws
Clan Fulger follows a matriarchal government, from their inception to the present day, like the other three Count clans; Adrasteia, Scarlett, Snow—they have been led by women only. Only Clan Alucard, with a male leader is the exception. Because of this, the laws governing the four territories were more 'convenient' for women, so they had more privileges than men. An example of this differences in law is in the territory of Agnes. Men who committed heinous crimes were condemned to work in mines for all eternity, they were offered a minimal amount of blood, and they'd work like machines, literally. If the sentenced vampires, didn;t want to work, they are quickly burned on Agnes' approval. The woman simply wasn't kind enough to allow these kinds of scum to live, but unlike Scathach, who quickly eliminated them, she tried to use them to death. Similar punishments applied in the territory of Clan Fulger and Clan Adrasteia.

Consequently, the four territories led by the countesses were the ones with the most 'peace'. Owing to the four countesses' lack of patience. Whenever a vampire has committed a heinous crime, they are either sentenced to death immediately, or were condemned to forced labor for eternity. Because of this, the criminalization rate in the four territories was extremely low.

However, these kinds of punishment doesn't exist for women. Which meant if a female vampire kidnapped a vampire and fucked him to death, they wouldn't be held accountable. They would only be put to death if they preyed on vampire children, but if it were to be done to an adult vampire, then it was considered as legal. However, to be considered an adult vampire, the individual needed to be at least 500 years old. Hence, female vampires almost never experience punishments, skewing vampire society's favor towards women.

Abilities
Electrokinesis: every member of Clan Fulger has the potential to develop an ability to generate and influence lightning and electricity. The clan's ability is rumored to have originated from the clan's first leader and matriarch, Countess Carmila Fulger. The first Countess was said to have been deeply connected to the lightning spirits, some even claimed that she was originally a lightning spirit before becoming a vampire. There are cases however, where the ability skips a generation, as is the case with Victoria Rider, one of Carmila's daughters. Victoria herself did not inherit the family ability but had no problem passing it on to her son Tatsuya Rider.

Treasure
Adding to the belief of the first Countess' legend of being a spirit, Clan Fulger has in their possession a Divine treasure in the form of two identical dagger. The daggers were said to have been forged by the dwarves of Nidavellir as a gift to the first Countess. The daggers are golden in color and are covered in runic engravements. It also possesses an enchantment that prevents anyone outside the Fulger bloodline from wielding it, or even touching it. An example of this is Victor Walker, despite inheriting the lightning ability, he was unable to hold the daggers. This proves that to be accepted by the daggers, an individual has to at least be a legitimate member of the Fulger bloodline, further proving that the key to inheriting it is not in the family ability, but in the individual's bloodline.
