Vanstrom Klause

Vanstrom Klause is one of the brutal henchmen of Lord Drakan and member of the Vyrewatch who rules Morytania. Vanstrom is responsible for the murders of at least two Myreque members.

History
Vanstrom was first met in the Hair of the Dog tavern in Canifis on a mission to locate the Myreque to supposedly give them weapons. However this was a trick of his, used to determine the location of the Myreque's hideout in the hollows.

After the player located the Myreque in the In Search of the Myreque quest, Vanstrom revealed that he had used the player to discover the Myreque, and murders two Myreque members, (though, the "murdered" members stay standing in the same spot after the cutscene, and stay standing there until you move bases in the quest "In Aid of the Myreque". You cannot talk to the murdered members)but the rest managed to escape and flee.

He is later seen telling Gadderanks to collect blood from the villagers of Burgh de Rott. Vanstrom is believed to have ordered Vampire Juvinates to ambush Ivan Strom on his way to the temple. This attack failed.

After returning to Meiyerditch he was last seen discussing plans with Ranis and Vanescula Drakan before vanishing somewhere into their castle.

Ivan Strom is Vanstrom in Disguise?
It has been speculated that Ivan Strom is really Vanstrom in disguise. Their names are quite similar (Ivan Strom-I Vanstrom), so it is possible that this may be true. In addition, their clothes are almost identical. Some players have speculated that Vanstrom has infiltrated the Myreque as Ivan, to mis-lead the others. The werewolves could cross the Salve river after Ivan was brought back to the Paterdomus temple, which may mean that Ivan/Vanstrom was letting them bypass the protection of the Salve and cross it directly.

However, on top of the fact that Ivan can, at one point during In Aid of the Myreque, wield a blessed silver sickle which would be physically unbearable for a vampyre, at one point in In Search of the Myreque, both Ivan Strom and Vanstrom Klause can be seen, though it could still be possible that there is a relation between the two.
