Picking up where Subspecies III left off, Radu is a flaming corpse impaled on a tree branch. He falls to the ground and lands in a pool of water near the bloodstone which he picks up and then runs into his castle before the morning sun can destroy him. After restoring himself, Radu goes to Bucharest to find Michelle. He contacts his other chylde, the vampire Ash, and moves into Ash's casino/brothel.
