Roland of the Golden Valley

A vampire vassal, not powerful enough to truly be a lord vampire, who occupies not a castle but a small farmstead that rests aside a creek in a farm valley. The homestead cabin has a water mill attached to its flank and the home is surrounded for many acres on all sides by fantastic golden wheat. He mills his own bread, rumored to be the best in the land, but due to his reclusive nature nobody is really sure. He also distills rye bourbon in the cellars, also rumored to be of impeccable quality.

He protects this farmland fiercely with his choice of servant- scarecrows given rudimentary sentience. Make no mistake, these are terrifying creatures, moving when not observed and able to stalk through the wheat silently. They move all disjointedly as if dolls hung by string and only display the one, smiling expression. They also tend the farms at night. He communes with the field mice to be his eyes in the surrounding towns and his own farm.

Roland's choice weapon is duel wielding classic wheat Sickles. He can transform into a few animals, though nothing "strong" (bat, mouse) and can levitate, has very basic telekinesis and very minor mind control.
