Vampire Academy Series[]

Shadow Kiss[]

Before he became a Strigoi, Nathan apparently saw Rose and Lissa when they were young. Years later, he was one of the fifty Strigoi that were attacking the academy. During the fight, he encountered Rose once again and recognized her while she was fighting him. He hoped that he would receive a reward if he killed Lissa, the last living member of the Dragomir bloodline. Later, during a rescue mission, Nathan grabbed Dimitri Belikov and turned him into a Strigoi.

Blood Promise[]

In Blood Promise, Nathan was living in Galina's estate until he encountered Rose once again. He was shocked to learn that Dimitri kept the young Dhampir girl as his pet and became furious. Since Rose was a prisoner, Nathan believed that she could lead him and the Strigoi to Lissa, the last of the Dragomir line, and his name would be legendary. When Dimitri told him to leave, Nathan warned him that it wasn't over, and he would explain this to Galina. Later on, when Dimitri was planning on taking Rose outside the estate to wonder, Nathan encountered them and told Dimitri that it was against the rules to do so. After Dimitri insulted him by saying that he would tell Galina that he overpowered him, Nathan was furious and lunged at Dimitri, but he was easily beaten.

After being beaten, Nathan came to Rose's room and interrogated Rose in order to find out where Lissa was heading after she graduated from the academy. As he made his attempt to kill her, Rose gave him a punch, but he knocked her across the room. Rose tried to get Nathan not to kill her by threatening to kill Inna, but Nathan didn't care. After watching Inna sock her, Nathan made his attempt until Dimitri burst into the room and threatened to kill him if he tried to make another move to harm Rose. He was later killed by Dimitri while Rose made her attempt to escape.

Powers and Abilities[]

Powers[]

  • Darkness Adaptation: They possess perfect night vision and can see clearly even in complete darkness.
  • Enhanced Bite: Strigoi have an animalistic bite and jaw strength that allows them to shred and rend flesh.
  • Heightened compulsion: Strigoi can control the minds of humans, Dhampirs, and Moroi to a certain degree through eye contact and verbal commands.
  • Immortality: Strigoi are unable to be killed by natural causes (e.g., age, disease, heart failure, suffocation, etc.) except by staking them in the heart with a silver stake, by fire, by sunlight, or by decapitation.
  • Pain Tolerance: Strigoi can feel pain, though the older and more powerful they are, the higher their pain tolerance. Strigoi have the ability to heal from any injury within seconds.
  • Species Detection: With ease, they are able to distinguish between Strigoi, dhampirs, Moroi, witches, and ordinary people. Although dhampirs look almost like humans, they are recognized with ease by Strigoi via enhanced vision and smell.
  • Superior Endurance: Strigoi can maintain physical performance longer than Dhampirs and Moroi and not be greatly fazed by attacks.
  • Superior Senses: They can see, taste, touch, and hear better than moroi and dhampirs.
  • Superior Speed: Strigoi are faster than dhampirs and Moroi. They can easily catch up to their Moroi, dhampir, or human prey.
  • Superior Strength: Strigoi are significantly stronger and more fit than dhampirs or Moroi. A single strigoi can brutally beat even a well-trained dhampir into submission.
  • Supernatural Beauty: Similarly to Moroi, Strigoi are attractive by human standards. It is unclear whether this applies to human-turned Strigoi; however, Moroi and Dhampir-turned Strigoi are described to retain their attractiveness, which is amplified even further by their newfound grace.
  • Supernatural Healing Factor: Strigoi heal and recover almost instantly from any injury besides a silver stake in their heart, decapitation, or being burned by fire or sunlight. Blood can make recovery even faster and easier.
  • Vampirization: Strigoi can turn a human, Dhampir, or Moroi into another of their kind if any one drinks any amount of their blood, usually by force. Moroi can turn themselves into Strigoi by killing or draining their victim when they feed.

Abilities[]

TBA

Weaknesses[]

  • Decapitation: Separating the head from the Strigoi's body will instantly kill them.
  • Fire: Fire is one of the four ways to kill a Strigoi; therefore, they tend to avoid it for fear of losing their immortality.
  • Oxygen Dependence: While Strigoi cannot die from suffocation, they still require oxygen and will lose consciousness if deprived of oxygen for too long.
  • Religious Symbols: Strigoi hate religion, holy water, saint crosses, and churches. They can't enter holy ground.
  • Silver Stake: The weapon damages the Strigoi's heart and kills them. A silver stake that is charmed with spirit magic can transform Strigoi back into their original form. A cut from a silver stake will cause them immense pain and has been described as feeling like acid being poured on their skin.
  • Sunlight: Strigoi burn when they are in direct sunlight.
