'''Vanescula Drakan''' is one of four [[House Drakan|Drakan]] siblings alongside her brothers, [[Ranis]], [[Count Draynor|Draynor]] and [[Lord Lowerniel Vergidiyad Drakan|Lowerniel]]. Both Vanescula and Ranis run [[Meiyerditch]] and [[Darkmeyer]] for Lord Drakan.

==Roles==
During the quest [[Darkness of Hallowvale]], (also Vanescula's first appearance) Vanescula's servant, [[Sarius Guile]], stops [[Vanstrom Klause]] before he kills you to interject something about Vanescula's interest in a man named [[Safalaan]].

In the RuneScape novel "[[Return to Canifis]]", It is revealed that she is immensely powerful, indeed more powerful than the [[Black Prince]] and possibly stronger than Lord Drakan himself. Also revealed in the novel is how she enjoys using creatures and people as "pawns" in her games with other vampyres; for example, she tricks [[Jerrod]] to kill the [[Wyrd]], a creature under command of the Black Prince, that murdered dozens of civilians.

During [[The Branches of Darkmeyer]] Vanescula asks the player for help to defeat her siblings [[Ranis Drakan]] and [[Lord Drakan]] to take control over [[Darkmeyer]]. At the end of the quest, if she is asked about [[Safalaan]] she will say she killed him, but then berates you for your gullibility, implying that she was simply lying. She seems to be fairly interested in Safalaan's life.

Once the quest The Branches of Darkmeyer is completed, player may speak to Vanescula in order to change their [[vampyric name]].

==Nessie==
'''Nessie''' is a crying and scared child that comes out of a building during [[The Branches of Darkmeyer]] at a meeting point, supposedly arranged by [[Vanstrom Klause]]. When spoken to, however, Nessie reveals her identity and transforms into Vanescula Drakan.

==Trivia==
*Her name appears to be a portmanteau of "Vanessa", a common female name, and "Dracula", a reference to the classic vampire novel.
*As of [[The Branches of Darkmeyer]], Vanescula and Lord Drakan are the only two remaining Drakan siblings alive, after the deaths of their brothers [[Count Draynor]] and [[Ranis Drakan]]; the latter of whose death was directly caused by Vanescula herself.
*Vanescula's graphical make-over may be based on Carmilla from the Vampire Hunter Bloodlust movie.
*Although Vanescula is a vampyre, she seems to also be a traitor to the vampyre race and possibly a savior or Anti-Protagonist to the humans. For example, in the novel Return to Canifis, she tricks Jerrod into killing Wyrd, who killed many civilians. (It is confirmed that the novel is not related to the Myreque quests, but still an example.) Also, during Branches of Darkmeyer, she works with the player to help make the Blisterwood weapons to defeat vampyres such as [[Vanstrom Klause]] and killed her own brother, [[Ranis Drakan]]. She also said she wanted to use the book of [[Haemalchemy]] to teach the Vampyres how to survive without having to hurt the humans, so the humans can be set free. By doing so, she either intentionally, accidentally or out of boredom, helped the [[Myreque]] to make their job easier or using them as her pawns to take over Morytania for herself.
*Vanescula's examine text in vampyre form, "Don't move. Maybe she won't be able to see you." is a reference to the movie Jurassic Park. In the movie, it is believed that Tyrannosaurus had vision based around movement, and thus couldn't see prey if it didn't move. This prompts the protagonist to say a similar line when faced against the film's (female) Tyrannosaurus.
*Vanescula is briefly [[Playable character|controlled by the player]] after the fight with Vanstrom to defeat his [[Bloodveld guardian]]s.
