Alaric Sunslayer

Alaric is an Elder vampire and warlord in command of a highly disciplined fighting force, earning the name Sunslayer for his development of sophisticated body armor that enables his Huskarls to fight regardless of the presence of the sun.

Huskarls
The Huskarls comprise Alaric's core fighting force, numbering between four hundred by the end of the Battle for New York and six hundred prior to the Battle of Forks, and comprised exclusively of Noble-strain vampires. In combat, they utilize highly-advanced combat exosuits to protect themselves from their conventional weaknesses such as ultraviolet radiation and silver, and are capable of fighting as a nearly indomitable phalanx or as highly nimble individual skirmishers. Conventionally, they are equipped with the RTI XM-1204 Rapid Deployment Weapon, a Taurus Raging Judge revolver loaded with 3" shot shells, and a bladed 8090-grade aluminum-graphene composite shield. With hydraulic-assisted movement servos to augment the warriors' already-prodigious movement, the Huskarl combat suit enables vertical leaps some thirty feet in height.

Rocksteady Technical Institute
Following Stark Industries' decommission of their weapons production facilities, Rocksteady Technical Institute filled the economic vaccuum left in their wake. Founded by Alaric Sunslayer in 1997, RTI is the leading authority on powered armor, augmented-reality systems, and unmanned combat vehicles, grossing 7.7 trillion USD in military-industrial contracts.
