He is a seventh progenitor among the vampires. He is the one who killed Yuuichirou's family, thus fueling his desire for revenge against all vampires.

On the outside, Ferid acts kind and polite. However, he keeps many secrets which he has ready to deploy, and tells equally as many lies, similarly to use as and when they are best served. Extremely sadistic, Ferid will go to lengths to prepare, and then carry about murderous acts on a whim. A sense of pleasure appears to be gained in patiently manipulating others in order to torment them. Preferring the blood of beautiful boys and girls, he has kept many mansions filled with them over the centuries. Once he loses interest in one to the point of forgetting the child's name, Ferid kills him or her.

Chatty, Ferid strikes up conversations with other vampires, and will speak calmly even in tense scenarios where he has the air of very much being in control of a situation.

The story takes place in a world where an unknown virus has killed the entire human population except for children under 13. Those children were then enslaved by vampires. The manga centers on Yuichiro Hyakuya, a human who dreams of becoming strong enough to kill all vampires.
