The Brothers Karamazov

The Brothers Karamazov are two Russian mobster vampires who control the city of New Hoboken. They are set to make their first appearance in both Sailor Noir II: Crime Never Sleeps and Life on the Plantation VII.

Ancestry
The pair are cousins of the notorious Count Dracula, however, they hold him in much contempt for his defeat by the Dutch vampire-hunter Abraham Van Helsing, whom they later kill. They are also distant relatives of Count Orlok and Varney the Vampire, though the nature of their relationship is unclear.

Beast-Mode
The siblings are notable for their "beast-mode", their ability to transform into horrible, vicious creatures when provoked, or in a fit of extreme emotion (such as blood-frenzy). This is an extremely rare genetic trait in vampires, present due to centuries-old species-mixing with werewolves.

Allusion
The pair's name is a reference to the famous literary work of the same name by Fyodor Dostoyevsky.
