Male Vampire Heroes (Vampires & Beasts)
"Mannfred selected most of his lieutenants on desire that they should, on no account, prove a danger to him. As a result, very few had enough in the way of wits to escape the disastrous battle on Grim Moor. Those who remained possessed either the raw brute strength to fight their way clear, or more good sense than Mannfred had suspected. Mannfred had marked the latter group upon his arrival, and had resolved never to underestimate them in the future – if any in the Dead and Buried survived to see one."
—The Nosentra, Mannfred’s Lieutenants
Adds two Lore options to the Vampire hero recruitment tab: Vampire (Vampires) and Vampire (Beasts). These are male characters to complement the existing female Vampires (Death and Shadows).
Vampire (Vampires): Lore of Vampires, duh!
Vampire (Beasts) : Lore of Beasts. In Warhammer Total War the Bloodline Lords (von Carstein and Necrarch) use mixed lores with Beasts spells. The hero version here has a custom version with the option to summon Giant Wolves or Cave Bats. These summons take a morale hit and flee the battle after 120 seconds (same time as most summons crumble).
Also adds one Lore option for Necromancer heroes: Necromancer (Death).
Necromancer (Death): has Magic Finding instead of Replenishment as their army assist skill.

Recommended for a new game (see below).
Compatible with "Vampires of Nehekhara" mod which adds two female Nehekharan themed variants to Mannfred and Silver Host (shadow/death). Pretty cool mod.

Technical stuff/Modders’ notes:
To resolve missing art sets and male/female names with mixed gender agent types, I have set the vampire hero’s internal gender to be "male".
As a consequence, any existing characters will have missing art sets (they will look like Boris). This includes any vampire heroes already in play in a save game and also the two that can potentially exist at the start of the game: Melissa Rahtep and/or Emanuelle Posner. This mod includes a fix to respawn Melissa Rahtep and/or Emanuelle Posner with correct art sets (piggybacking off the existing Vlad & Isabella hero conversion script).
For existing games, you can simply disband your existing vampires and wait for new ones with correct art sets to spawn into the recruitment pool.
