Adrasteia

Adrasteia (alias Aoife Darroch aka Ainsley O'Dougherty)

is a 3000  year plus Female Vampire that has been referenced by  Martin as being one of the ancient ones still around.

(Martin claims about 6 or 7 other Vampires he knows of are at least 3000 years old,  though in that claim  at one time was debateable and later proven to be true and who they are is unknown since Martin is cryptic on that info.

However one of  Russell's now deceased  sheriff's in Mississippi 's   journals references Adrasteia as a old friend of  Russell  who seen him sometime in 2002.

in 2019, Adrasteia was found out to be the birth name of a Vampire named Aoife Darroch ,

a supposedly only 700 year vampire who's early history was largely unknown, until 2019.

Aoife speaks Gaelic, French, Greek and Japanese, in addition to English.
