The Night of Wallachia

General Information

 Dead Apostle Ancestor No. 13

A Dead Apostle whose form is that of a phenomenon instead of a real creature, a disembodied TATARI (Literally “Curse”) with the power to grant physical shape to the fears and rumours that circulate within a community. He has no definite form, though the name by which he is usually referred to belong to the first fear he ever manifested: the image of the vampire that was falsely believed to haunt the province of Walachia (also spelled Wallachia) in Romania, Count Dracula.
 
In Melty Blood, Walachia appeared within the city of Misaki and was able to manifest the fear present in several of the main characters’ hearts, creating entities such as an evil Arcueid who had succumbed to her blood-lust, a form of the bloodthirsty assassin side of Tohno Shiki and even the memory of Nrvnqsr Chaos. He was eventually destroyed when Arcueid used her Marble Phantasm to prematurely summon the Crimson Moon, stripping Walachia of his power and giving him a definite material form, after which he was killed by Tohno Shiki.

Origin

Originally an alchemist from Atlas named  Zepia Eltnam Oberon, ( ズェピア・エルトナム・オベローン , Zuepia Erutonamu Oberon)  a member of the prestigious noble family of Eltnam, for whose downfall he was responsible. During his research, the ability of the Atlas alchemists to calculate and predict the future eventually revealed to him that only destruction would be an absolute result for the world. Obsessed and driven mad by this realization, he sought to oppose an universal law known as Program No. 6, or simply  ''The Sixth '', which was said to be the bringer of that ultimate destruction, with the intention of creating an impossible future that would escape even his calculations. His metamorphosis into the Tatari, theorized and formulated as part of his research of The Sixth, was realized through a pact with Altrouge Brunestud who summoned the Crimson Moon and transformed him into the curse, casting him into a cycle by which he would continuously manifest in pre-calculated areas, the journey destined to finalize a thousand years later when the reappearance of the Crimson Moon would return him to his original form as Zepia Eltnam. 
 

Powers

The nature of his being resides in his Reality Marble, the ''Night of Walachia'', which allows the materialization of fears into physical entities. In order to manifest himself, Walachia requires that a certain condition be met: The community in which he should appear must be circulating an increased amount of malignant information, such as urban tales, fright stories, unfounded assumptions and all manner of rapidly spreading but ultimately void rumors. This information is what Walachia uses as the conduit for his power, and is even capable of condensing it onto the ''Night on the Blood Liar'', a rapidly swirling torrent of virtual information of such magnitude that is even capable of having an effect on the physical world by sucking blood in quantities as massive as entire cities. Because he is indeed nothing but a materialized rumor, complete destruction of his being is impossible, as no matter how many times the material forms are obliterated, the reoccurring phenomenon will ensure his reappearance. Even the power of Shiki Tohno cannot destroy him completely. Furthermore, the behavior of each appearance is subject to that of the model created by the circulating information, yet no matter what this becomes, its personality will invariably be twisted into that of the bloodthirsty Dead Apostle.
