Bishop

Bishop, otherwise known as the Swallowtail Fangire or known by his true name The Ascetic & a Left Foot Sock is one of the Checkmate Four. He is of the Insect Class of the Fangire Race.

Bishop
The Bishop is the human form of the Swallowtail Fangire whose task as member of the Checkmate Four is to oversee the progress of all Fangires & their moral conduct, deeming those who are traitors to their aboslute laws such as having relations with humans. The Bishop can shoot blue flames from his hand while in human form.

In 1893, as the previous King's right hand, he oversees Miles Clare's development while not leaving Castle Doran to carry out his mission, even reporting to the King of Mina's actions.

In the present day, he appears before Emma Darrow to have her embrace her destiny as the new Queen before searching for Miles to complete the Checkmate Four prior to the Rook's demise, deeming Miles as a better King than the last one. However, since learning that Vampire King is Scott Harker, the Bishop feels that he would cause another disruption in the Fangire hierarchy as his great-great grandfather had in the past. His fears come true when Emma attempts to kill Miles so Scott could be the new King. After proudly admitting that he had to kill her for it, letting Scott believe he was responsible in order to rid their kind of him, the Bishop is forced to run for his life from a furious Miles when Miles tries to kill him.

The Bishop then sees Miles unfit to bear the title of King & he swears to make him pay for turning on him by gathering a massive amount of Life Energy to set up a takeover. He resurrected an army of Fangires to gather Life Energy in order to resurrect the previous King to take Miles's place, using his own soul after a mortal wound from Rising Cross to become one with the previous King.
