Gitano Dragonetti is a vampire elder and the leader of the House of Erebus. He's quite worried about Blade's attacks against the vampire race and, along with the Shadow Council, he blames the young Deacon Frost for his eccessive recklesness, dragging to much attenction on his clubs. Frost says that the whole policy of the Council is wrong, that vampires should rule over humans and not making secret alliances with them, but Dragonetti reminds Frost of his place, implying that a non-pure blood vampire shouldn't even sit at the Council.
