Henrika Domnathi is the ruler of the minor Domnathi vampire bloodline on Innistrad. She is the rumored one-time lover of Griselbrand.
Description
Henrika is the progenitor of the Domnathi bloodline, vampires who bargain with demons, exchanging favors for the demons' powerful blood. Major bloodlines consider the Domnathi's potent magic dangerous even for vampire-kind, and in ancient times, the Domnathi were subject to many great purges. Henrika leads the survivors to this day and keeps a list of names written in vengeful crimson next to her heart. Olivia Voldaren has taken an interest in Domnathi magic and even invited Henrika to her wedding in an effort to smooth things over. Whether Olivia's name is on Henrika's list is unknown.[1]
Henrika is a very tall, very thin woman, usually clad in a cascading gown. She is a noted demon sympathizer, and admits to feed on demon blood. The Domnathi bloodline is famous for consorting with demons, though to what end remains unclear.[2] They also do favors for those demons, in exchange for powers of which other vampires can only dream. There are whispers about what Henrika Domnathi does to people who won't answer her questions. Faint ones, because everyone's terrified of speaking them aloud.
History
Crimson Vow
After the beginning of the The Travails, Henrika hadn't felt bound by the pact that Olivia Voldaren had made with the humans. For Ormendahl, she tried to raise an army of unholy cathars and subverted Commander Odric into a vampire.[3]
At the wedding of Olivia Voldaren and Edgar Markov, she killed Relio Voldaren because he offended her.[2]
