Yeah, I'm always unsure how explicit to be with certain things. Basically, I didn't want to do the general thing with vampires making other vampires with the blood sucking and then blood sharing (or as Buffy put it, "it's a whole sucking thing"), so I made that the way the slave vamps are made - they have no real personalities or thoughts anymore. Real vampires are born, same as humans, so Erzsebet is just as powerful as Bathory, only that she's still a child.
But yeah, I'm not sure how to dramatize that, and I don't want a character to just exposit that through dialogue, you know? I think in the revision I will have Bathory actually make one of his vampire servants, to show that process - because I'm not sure it's clear at all that that is what's gone on with them.
