Since all the Empires SMP fans are confused as heck rn about this "secret antagonist", I'm gonna be trying to figure this out.

FACTS: Vampforce first appeared in Shelby's sixth episode of Empires SMP S2, by making random hissing noises all over her empire. At the end of her video, he says that he is going to attack all of the empires, one by one until he is invincible. Vampforce is portrayed by TheColeman_05, and had their debut on August 8, 2022/

THEORIES: Vampforce is going to be the new big bad this season, filling the role Xornoth left. A peculiar thing I noticed as well, is that recently Smajor1995 had briefly changed his skin to a weird red and black version of his avatar. Coincidence, I think NOT! Vampforce is also probably related somehow to the Warden and the Deep Dark, though I am not sure how yet.

Thank you fore coming to my TED talk.

Update 1: From what I have seen on the Empires SMP Fandom Wiki, it appears that this character may be the Evermore Spook, a mysterious creature causing pranks around the Evermore. Some were just pranks, while others were certifiably creepy.
