Vlov Arkhangel (ヴローヴ・アルハンゲリ, Vurōvu Aruhangeri) is the nineteenth of The Twenty-seven Dead Apostle Ancestors in the Tsukihime Remake series.
Appearance[]
Personality[]
Vlov is at his core a proud and loyal knight, who enjoys the idea of a good duel with a strong opponent. Despite this enjoyment, he is quite tactical and observant, being able to easily discern that Arcueid's action of raising a wave of rubble was meant to hide Shiki Tohno's follow up surprise attack, and quickly recognizing that Ciel's style of swordsmanship was taught to her by the Dead Apostle Ancestor Be'ze. His battle instincts are also quite good, as he was even able to instinctually determine that Shiki somehow possesses the ability to kill him, despite having no information on the teenager. Despite his cool-headed nature, Vlov is extremely protective of his personal life and his secrets, and revealing them in any way can cause him to fly into a rage and make unwise tactical decisions.
He has ten wives provided to him by Zaria, whom he seemingly cares deeply for. In Akiha's story within Melty Blood: Type Lumina, he tries to get her to be his eleventh wife, but she refuses by the polygamous relationship alone.
Despite his rational personality, he is often seen behaving in a strange manner, as if he was in a sleepwalking trance, mixed with moments of extreme desire to feed on large quantities of humans. This is seemingly a coping mechanism to deal with his own Principle and as Arcueid puts it, he is not naturally insane, but rather, he is running away from his own sanity on purpose so that his mind isn't overhwelmed by his Principle. He will seemingly only snap out of this state if enough of his power is expended or if he is injured enough.

Michael Roa Valdamjong[]
Vlov absolutely hates Roa for seemingly stealing away the past 200 years away from him, due to how he convinced him to kill his liege Zaria and lying to him about how True Ancestor's blood would save his life, with him wanting to get to Arcueid partly as a way to get revenge to Roa.
