Hunter's Files Entry[src]
When or how the vampire Auguste came to be is unknown, his birth was considered a result of an evolutionary mishap that gifted him with immortality, while also transforming him into a creature of the night that thirsts for blood. Having lived for so long, Auguste grew tired of his immortality and eventually decided to end his own life.
He created the vampire hunters, Michel and Albert, who's sole purpose is to slay the count, finally giving him the eternal rest he desired for so long. However, the fear of death overwhelmed the count's mind, causing him to abandon his pursuit for death and taking away his creations' powers, rendering them to be almost as powerless as a human.
Despite this, the hunters continued to fulfill their purpose and proceeded to spend the next three hundred years hunting the vampire and his creations. Auguste would remain hidden from the world as he is required to hibernate for long periods of time, making it virtually impossible to locate him.
The count's luck eventually ran out, however, as the hunters were finally able to pinpoint where Auguste spent his last hibernation at, underneath a rural village located in France. By this time, Auguste had already amassed a number of devoted followers who were ready to protect their master at all cost.

He is also able to control a swarm of vampire bats to do his bidding. As the vampire who sired them, Auguste possesses the abilities of his followers, allowing him to command the elements of Earth, Fire, Water, Wind, Light and Darkness.
