There's a lot I'd be willing to do for somebody that made me 10 times stronger than the average man and functionally immortal without the weakness of immediately bursting into flames under sunlight.

But I don't think I would kill people for them or bring them victims to kill.

I guess I would not be a very good ghoul.

That's the flavour of vampire mind control they never mention in the stories.

Witches have familiars, vampires have thralls—what do they even teach in school these days? /s

Classic Bram Stoker uses "familiar" as well as "What we do in the shadows".

Vampire lore fiiiight!
