VI. Miscellaneous #1 Blood Oath Cade is able to both understand, and speak Serbian.
https://i.imgur.com/9rAkpAc.png Cade's heart no longer beats after becoming a vampire.
https://i.imgur.com/piZhY2z.png Cade's body no longer sweats or has an odor after becoming a vampire.
https://i.imgur.com/mKWNKuf.png A Nightmare Pet briefing book. We see that he doesn't need to breathe, and this was tested by submerging him underwater for an hour.
https://i.imgur.com/t12u54E.png Cade doesn't need to breathe anymore after becoming a vampire.
https://i.imgur.com/e7mXxAI.png A Nightmare Pet briefing book. It notes that Cade's motor functions and intelligence have been greatly enhanced, and only grow greater with time. His brain can "parallel process," and work on a problem at several different angles at once.
https://i.imgur.com/nY3c4LC.png Cade's memory, as with any vampire, is flawless. He remembers every experience--every sight, sound, feeling or smell--exactly as it happened.
https://i.imgur.com/KzELpj8.png Cade has experience fighting "demons, vampires, werewolves, invisible men, aliens, creatures that had no names, and even one thing that called itself a god."
https://i.imgur.com/v95cVwL.png Cade was responsible for stopping the
Night of the Living Dead. It is revealed that it was the result of someone trying to copy Konrad's work. They created a compound that caused the dead to reanimate, and eat the living. After Cade was finished cleaning up the mess? There were no survivors.
Cade was responsible for stopping the Greys from taking over the world. When they were unleashed upon it in Dulce, Mexico. When the secret underground base there was doing excavations, and accidentally released them from their slumber. As it turns out the Greys have been living on Earth for a long time, and they have been the adversaries of mankind for generations. They're not actually aliens.
Barrows tries to force Cade to drink human blood by using the blood oath against him. Here we see that it is a form of psychic compulsion, and compels him to do something. Despite that we see Nathaniel Cade resist the compulsion, and redirect the target of it to a car door. Which means that he is aware of when it is influencing him, and can fight back against it.
https://i.imgur.com/dNVsuYY.png https://i.imgur.com/xod7n36.png A Nightmare Pet briefing book. It notes that Cade would qualify as a "vampire king" due to his age, and that if he consumed human blood instead of animal blood he would be far more powerful. As well as have access to several abilities he doesn't have as a result of drinking animal blood. Cade has not consumed human blood for "fifty-one thousand nine hundred and sixty eight days" which translates to about a hundred and forty years. Which is quite the achievement considering what this does to vampires.
https://i.imgur.com/55RqVfx.png Cade notes what happens to a vampire if they live on animal blood instead of human blood. It is not pretty, and is considered a fate worse than death. He saw a vampire that went through this. The vampire's joints were frozen from disuse. There were tumors swelling in the vampire's abdomen. It was a "I have no mouth, and I must scream" sort of scenario. At the end of it the vampire was begging for death because of the excruciating pain, and couldn't end his own life because he was immobile.
https://i.imgur.com/WDkJzzR.png Another Nightmare Pet briefing book. It is noted that vampires can't mesmerize people but they do instill fear into everything around them, and it is ingrained on a biological scale. It causes the target to freeze, and compares it to a mouse encountering a snake. As with anything repeated exposure can allow someone to develop a tolerance for it.
https://i.imgur.com/q3Hnb2g.png Zach's first meeting with Cade ends with him having a panic attack, and soiling his trousers. It is noted that this happens a lot when people first meet Cade. It is said that the reason human beings fear the dark is because of vampires.
https://i.imgur.com/TSy1svD.png Cade is left to his devices in an interrogation room with Reese, and this causes Reese to have a mental breakdown. Just Cade's presence alone is enough that Reese is left catatonic, and in a fetal position in a corner of said interrogation room.
https://i.imgur.com/NM4PWes.png An attack dog is just as susceptible to this ingrained fear, and does the smart thing by running away from Cade.
https://i.imgur.com/m4oa5Z7.png Cade notes that he was twenty years old when he became a vampire in 1867. Just for anyone who wants to know his exact age.
https://i.imgur.com/Qt1un62.png Cade makes note of the fact that he made an example of the other vampires who tried to threaten him.
https://i.imgur.com/RAArB6r.png Tania showcases both elaborate shape-shifting, and flight. This shows that Cade might not be entirely honest in regards to what he is capable of. As he led his handlers to believe that vampires can't shape-shift, and fly. This is despite personally knowing Tania, and having as Barrows would say "ear shattering sex" with her on occasion.
https://i.imgur.com/ColUSEW.png Konrad notes that the reason Tania is with Cade is out of fear of him, and what he would do to her if she wasn't in his good graces. Tania admits that may be the case.
https://i.imgur.com/11GjE3v.png Another Nightmare Pet briefing book. It notes that Cade's stomach, and intestines have shrunk. As they are no longer being used, and have been pushed aside by his lungs which have enlarged to contain stacks of blood vessels that draw in blood from his esophagus. Which is contained there until it is needed. His kidneys, and liver have enlarged in order to filter any foreign particles in his body down to fifteen microns.
https://i.imgur.com/FYjjwWG.png A Sanction V case file. It reveals that there are only hundreds of vampires worldwide, and of those hundreds of vampires there are only two or three vampire kings. They are the strongest of their species. Which is relevant as Nathaniel Cade happens to be one of them.
https://i.imgur.com/z4pHbFX.png #2 The President's Vampire Cade is able to both understand, and speak Arabic.
https://i.imgur.com/hldxyQI.png Cade's perfect memory is brought up. He can playback memories and experience them again as if he was there.
https://i.imgur.com/posjMOq.png https://i.imgur.com/0Z7cYiB.png Cade speaks to Graves on the phone, and his fear inducing presence has an effect on him despite the distance between them. Graves has been shaking uncontrollably ever since then. This displays how long lasting the effect is, and that it is not limited by how far away the target is. Just hearing Cade's voice is enough to become subject to it.
https://i.imgur.com/d46SZ2H.png https://i.imgur.com/492Xall.png It is revealed that at one point Hunter S. Thompson met Nathaniel Cade. He was incredibly high at the time but that didn't stop him from being absolutely scared of the vampire king.
https://i.imgur.com/30QzD04.png Cade has fought the Gill-Man. Yes, the one from
Creature from the Black Lagoonand
Revenge of the Creature.
https://i.imgur.com/KQ2mZJw.png Cade is responsible for stopping the
Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and it appears to have actually happened in this universe.
Cade has had several encounters, and altercations with a clown that has been kidnapping children around Boston, Massachusetts. Considering that this was in 1981, and where it has been eating? It is likely Pennywise the Clown from Stephen King's
It.
Cade is responsible for the destruction of the deep ones in Innsmouth, and the Marsh Family from
The Shadow over Innsmouth.
https://i.imgur.com/ULbMlaN.png https://i.imgur.com/YPW4KnC.png Cade had a hand in the destruction of Wilbur Whateley's brother from
The Dunwich Horror.
https://i.imgur.com/AzCK3vw.png Cade was part of the expedition to the antarctic as seen in
At the Mountains of Madness, and was able to save two survivors.
https://i.imgur.com/6CXoYPH.png Cade was responsible for stopping the dark rituals as seen in
The Horror at Red Hook.
https://i.imgur.com/cfMWtaw.png Cade has fought ghosts before, and notes that he has outlasted them.
https://i.imgur.com/GnKDH0q.png Now for some Sanction V case files written by a Dr. William Kavanaugh. In them it is revealed that Nathaniel Cade has not weakened as a result drinking animal blood. In fact, he has shown no signs of disease or degradation. It notes that he has destroyed vampires "stronger" than he is. After this the next files makes note of the fact Nathaniel Cade was created by a vampire king, and as a result of this he is almost an exact copy of this vampire king due to lateral genetics transmission. He was already a vampire king at the moment of his conception. Which is why he is so powerful. Besides that, his sheer force of character and temperament allow him to survive this way.
https://i.imgur.com/mtSMKVy.png https://i.imgur.com/AAXrBWW.png https://i.imgur.com/gLLqLtW.png https://i.imgur.com/kHp1bAo.png Now for some more context. The Shadow Company was experimenting with psychic warfare. They picked up the Stargate Project, and it's not to be confused with another certain Stargate Project. It involved three psychics trying to communicate with each other but there were no results. So, they decided to spice things up by adding some LSD into the mix and some occult symbols curtsy of Aleister Crowley's studies. Through a combination of chance, and sheer misfortune the psychics accidentally connected themselves to the Other Side. Which ate two of them from the inside out, leaving behind only their skin, and the third one was so traumatized by what he saw that he committed suicide on the spot. The Shadow Company considered it a success, and replicated the process in order to create more of these skins. Anyone who wore the skins became connected to the Other Side, and subsequently turned into shadow people. They are literally shadows, and have the ability to go anywhere by traversing through the Other Side. At which point they would exit it, and enter reality. They are protected from the influence of the Other Side thanks to the skins, and unlike other people are not driven insane by traversing it. At least for the most part, and it is noted that it is only delaying the inevitable. As seen with Reynolds and Hewitt, who have been slowly degenerating. The shadow people are known to have the characteristics of ghosts.
https://i.imgur.com/HxLhm7T.png https://i.imgur.com/5tixhyd.png https://i.imgur.com/YvM7UBs.png https://i.imgur.com/D72syUy.png https://i.imgur.com/xSlteQu.png The Other Side has a negative effect on a person's psyche, and in the case of Zach Barrows who only barely touched it by coming into contact with the shadow men he experienced vivid hallucinations. They were so intense that they nearly drove him into insanity, and after his "mother" told him to die? His body's biological functions were shutting down, and listening to the suggestion. Which makes the fact Nathaniel Cade is unfazed by the Other Side all the more impressive. As it means illusions potent enough to cause someone's body to cease to function, and die are useless against him.
https://i.imgur.com/Yoi2NYr.png https://i.imgur.com/nwAPnBy.png https://i.imgur.com/7k7KNV3.png https://i.imgur.com/34PCY2M.png https://i.imgur.com/Vicki3j.png Cade fights the shadow men, and as he does we discover that vampires have a natural connection to the Other Side. Which replaces their souls that disappear when they become vampires, and it is the source of their abilities. He is able to grab them, despite the fact that they are shadows, and trap them between reality and the Other Side. As they try to escape from his grasp he wounds them, and the eldritch abominations within the Other Side devour them. There is encroaching darkness that devours one shadow man, and a resounding "burp" as it finishes its meal. As for the other shadow man he manages to come back but the trip in the Other Side has drastically aged him to the point "he could have been a thousand years old," and his skin is described as being like parchment. As for his muscles they have dried out, and his bones are jutting out of them. He dies immediately afterwards. Nathaniel Cade is resistant to these things. As he is not fazed in the slightest by crossing over into the Other Side. It shows how dangerous the Other Side is for anyone who isn't him.
https://i.imgur.com/OIrgXQd.png https://i.imgur.com/zB0ZtKY.png https://i.imgur.com/MO0Co63.png We know that those with a connection to the Other Side can use it to transport themselves anywhere. Reynolds and Hewitt, the aforementioned shadow men, are shown to be able to do this despite only having an artificial connection to the Other Side. Whereas Nathaniel Cade has a genuine one.
https://i.imgur.com/FgjsXuq.png https://i.imgur.com/qvoVBqt.png #3 The Burning Men Dr. Carolina Ramos goes over some findings, and as she is doing that she notes that Nathaniel Cade has not been examined since Dr. William Kavanaugh studied him in the seventies. Which is something to keep in mind since all Nightmare Pet briefing books are that dated. It has been forty years since he has been examined. As I already noted earlier vampires grow more powerful with age.
https://i.imgur.com/mP4e8ju.png https://i.imgur.com/oTOcrRF.png When Nathaniel Cade is at Logan Airport groups of people instinctively get out of his way, and give him a wide berth without realizing it. Most likely a result of the fear vampires instill in those around them.
https://i.imgur.com/qfTryDF.png #4 Red, White, and Blood It is noted that Cade's habit of using slang over the past century is a result of his perfect memory. Which causes it to slip out on occasion.
https://i.imgur.com/LTKtx3k.png Cade's photographic memory allows him to instantly match things he sees, hears, feels or smells with past experiences.
https://i.imgur.com/h10MjK7.png The Boogeyman has been "shot, stabbed, drowned, burned, decapitated, dismembered, and buried" before. It has survived all of these instances, and healed from the damage. The only exception being when Nathaniel Cade destroys it. Showing that the vampire king has the ability to negate regeneration.
https://i.imgur.com/z93i7OO.png Nathaniel Cade meets with Zach Barrows father by the name of Frank Barrows. Who found out about his son Zach Barrows relationship with Candace Curtis. He was threatening to leak it to the press but that stopped the moment the vampire king arrived, and after revealing his fangs Frank Barrows went faint. He collapsed into unconsciousness, and that was the end of that story. Most likely a result of Nathaniel Cade's ability to induce fear.
https://i.imgur.com/pd7rpdz.png After being injected with the activating protein for fibrin Nathaniel Cade closely approaches death. The blood in his veins becomes cement, and as his insides solidify there are two things that drive him into near madness; his thirst for blood, and the blood oath compelling him to survive at all costs so he can save the president's life. That's when Cody, a child that happens to come across his path, finds him. At first it seems as if Nathaniel Cade's hunger, and the blood oath have taken control over him. However, as he is about to bite the boy the stinging pain from his cross snaps him back to his senses. He resists both his blood lust, and the blood oath.
https://i.imgur.com/9IFuA4M.png https://i.imgur.com/u9jN8Oz.png Cade notes that he has no problem dealing with ghosts, and has fought them before. They are a nuisance at best.
https://i.imgur.com/qKsbeEh.png Abraham Lincoln's ghost tries to enter Nathaniel Cade's body only to recoil in horror at what he finds inside of the vampire king. It is confirmed that whatever was left of Nathaniel Cade's soul has long since disappeared.
https://i.imgur.com/EeYFvyF.png Cade visits the private military hospital where the Boogeyman is being kept in a perpetual state of near death. He has been here many times before, and has met with Tom Fowler over various escapades in his career. Despite this Tom Fowler has not grown accustomed to the fear he feels whenever the vampire king is around. He has to actively suppress his shudders.
#5 Deep State Cade no longer has any qualms drinking blood from his enemies even if they are human beings, and has been eating "healthy" for four years.
https://i.imgur.com/NZg0Jng.png Cade no longer wears his cross, and has for some reason abandoned it. Most likely a result of the events of
Red, White, and Blood.
https://i.imgur.com/YeVPgVp.png Cade has a watch which is synchronized through a GPS to every sunrise in every place he has ever been. So, he always knows when sunrise is coming.
https://i.imgur.com/Ckdq1Gq.png Crypto Sapien is the categorization given to every creature that originates from the Other Side, and it is confirmed that every single one of these creatures do not conform to the laws of physics. They exist outside the boundary of the natural world, and obey an entirely different system.
