Nadja
After a frustrating stint at the International Vampiric Council, "Nadja," played by Natasia Demetriou, returns from London with a new mission: to run her own business. She has a thirst not just for blood, but for power, money and vampire-oriented entertainment. But can she succeed where so many others have failed, or will she find truth in the old adage about the food and beverage business: that the best way to make a small fortune is to start with a big one?
