The leader of the family and Captain of the Drakenhof Decimators. Count Valhel von Drakenhof is amongst the most imposing and cunning Vampires in his region and amongst his fellow aristocracy, second to none. While he has shown great skill in both strength and agility, he looks to this new challenge of Blood Bowl with a mix of intriguie and malice. A towering and frightening figure of a man, Valhel has full intentions in unleashing the wrath of the Sylvanian Aristocracy upon the stadiums of the Old World and is more than confident that he can enjoy this sport for an eternity.

Despite his position as team captain and intimidating demeanour, the leader of the small band of Vampires has been awe struck at the sheer ferocity he has met on the field. Indeed, he has been injured the second most amongst the family behind the unfortunate Ludwig. While he entered the stadiums of Blood Bowl to experience the adrenaline and "mortality", this sudden realization has opened his eyes to the true danger he has put he and his family into.

The nature of the sport having rubbed off him, Valhel now concerns himself little with maintaining composure like normal. Now the dreaded count unveils his true nature in its entirity, his face contorting into a twisted, bestial snarl. Some of the family are now worried their leader may embrace his full vampiric nature too much and that the once cold yet noble aristocract may fall victim to his more bestial side.
