Vamp

Lore & Background

Vamp is one of three Dead Cell team members encountered during the Big Shell incident. He is characterized as a seemingly immortal man with vampire-like attributes. His teammates include Fatman, a rotund man with exceptional knowledge of bombs, and Fortune, a woman whose uncontrollable psychic ability prevents any bodily harm from befalling her. The Dead Cell team operates under the Sons of Liberty, a terrorist group that seizes control of the Big Shell environmental cleanup facility off the coast of New York City.
