Vanitas, the protagonist and titular character in Jun Mochizuki The Case Study Of Vanitas. Vanitas claims that he is “an average human being” and has The Book of Vanitas. His stated goal is to save the Vampires using the Book of Vanitas. He refers to himself as a vampire doctor. To find cases of Malnomen, and cure them, he enlisted the assistance of Noearchiviste. This vampire was sent to him by his teacher.
Vanitas was born to a former performer and doctor. His biological mother died during childbirth. He was raised by his father, and the traveling actors he played with. Vanitas was the only one to survive when their party was attacked by vampires. He was then taken by the Catholic Church and trained as a Chasseur. His death was faked and he was kept as an experiment subject. He was renamed No. 69. He would then meet Mikhail. He would become close to his younger brother at the age of 71.

They were both subjected to inhumane experimentation in the hope of becoming vampires. They were eventually able to reveal that they had been given the blood of Vampire of Blue Moon. This was the only human subject who did not reject it. They were able to heal slightly faster due to their abilities beyond what is normal for humans. They were to be forced to link to the Books of Vanitas, a process that would kill their minds. But they were saved by Vanitas of Blue Moon.

COMBAT
Chasseur Training Vanitas was trained to kill vampires in his time with The Church . Vanitas from the Blue Moon comments that Vanitas is a fighter who goes straight for the eyes in combat.

He is able to administer and use steroids that the Church uses in fighting Vampires. Twin Knives Vanitas has two small daggers that he uses for combat. He can use each of these daggers to trip or bind his enemies. Gun Training Vanitas is able to use guns accurately, despite not being his favorite weapon. Close Combat Fight scenes usually place him close to his opponents. He did however mention that he wasn’t as strong as Noe. Johann, Dante and Amelia agree that Noe would win if they fought without holding back. Vanitas is less physically strong than Noe and has to resort to more lethal means, which Noe finds disgusting.

TRIVIA
“Vanitas,” an artistic term, refers to a symbol of art that shows the fragility of life, the futility and certainty of death. It often contrasts symbols of wealth with symbols of ephemerality or death. It is derived from the Latin term “vanitas”, which can be translated to “emptiness”, “nothingness”, “falsity” or “vanity” (in English). Vanitas shares a character song with Noe, title=”Le Formidable! “>Le Formidable!, sung and composed by Sasanomaly. Vanitas was known as “Vincent” in French around the Chasseurs (in Japanese vuansan, Vansan). This could be a reference to Vincent Nightray (using English pronunciation, in Japanese vuinsento ), who was a frequent antagonist from Jun Mochizuki’s previous series, Pandora Hearts. He is skilled in cleaning and cooking, but he was disinterested in food generally, saying that foods and desserts made from the same ingredients tend to taste the exact same. Oysters are his favorite food. Jun Mochizuki said that Vanitas was going be a vampire in an interview. His original design is still evident in the fangs.
