Mencheres is well known in the vampire world, due to his age, status, abilities, skills and wealth. Jeaniene Frost, quote from This Side of the Grave well just call me Hannibal Lecter. If Kira asked for her own continent as a birthday present, Mencheres would probably have one conquered for her before she blew out her candles. (She was said to be at least 2000 years old).
