Vampire Sheriff

Vampire sheriff is a position of considerable power and responsibility within the vampire hierarchy. Sheriffs govern large territories called "areas" and all vampires within a given area must obey their sheriff and report to him or her when a crime occurs.

While sheriffs rule over vampires within their areas, they are under the authority of kings and queens and are hired and fired at the discretion of the Authority.
