Magyrato was an ancestor of the de Magpyr clan of vampyres who descend on [[Lancre]] during the events of {{CJ}}. His picture was shown to [[Agnes Nitt]] by his grandson [[Vlad]] as he escorted her round [[Lancre Castle]], which they had taken over. Half of his portrait is just blank canvas, the explanation being that Magyrato got hungry.
