Born to Hungarian aristocracy in the 18th century, Troy has carried his attitude of  entitlement into his new life as a vampire, taking advantage of his devilish charms and good looks to pursue power and pleasure. Unapologetic about his vampire nature and his desire for human blood, he is dangerous and unpredictable, living without conscience or consequence.

Troy is loyal to Michael, who saved him from a gruesome death at the hands of the Shadow Council over a century ago. Seeking out his mentor every few decades, he is surprised to find Michael madly in love with a human by the name of Sarah, who he believes is harbouring a dark secret. 

He vows to uncover her truth.
