D is a Dhampir, meaning he is a human and a Vampire hybrid or according to, Ramika "the offspring of a human slut and a vampire's joke!" D's father was none other than Count Dracula. Dracula was the great ancestor of the vampires, and is worshiped by them. Which from a psychological standpoint he only fights vampires because of his own internal battles with his own vampiric nature. D also has a being living in his hand(actually a parasite) who acts as D's reminder of who and what he is. He dresses in all black, wearing a wide brimmed hat, a long flowing cape, and as a weapon he wields a long thin sword. D possesses amazing powers and abilities that help him in his profession as a vampire hunter. He can function very well during daylight hours, but prolonged exposure to the sun ("heat sickness" as his parasite calls it) is potentially fatal to him. He is sometimes unable to control when his Vampire side, which acts like a defense mechanism in battle situations (i.e. the fight with the Lamia). He can control it outside of a heated battle (i.e. the after shower scene with Doris.)However because of the dicotomy within himself he has distanced himself from both the humans and the Vampires. Forcing him to live in loneliness and never staying anywhere to long. In otherwords D is a nomad searching the world and within himself to find a place of peace.
