The count was once a strong war general and ruled his kingdom fairly, but after he found his wife in a large pagan orgy, he sacrificed her and became an Apostle of the God Hand. Afterwards, his kingdom was enveloped in darkness. The one light left in his life was his daughter, Theresa.
The Count makes a brief appearance in anime episodes 22 & 25, where he appears in a demonic giant slug-like form.
