The person in the water resembles Vladstin a little, though his clothing and small details about himself were altered. There was an older sense to this reflection of him, something more ancient and benign than his current jaded and darkened Vampire Lord self.
The reflection was wearing a bright smile on his face, and his eyes twinkled like Polaris, the North Star. His white hair was not prickly and spiky like the undead vampire, but more like his former self's, the one from back when he was alive. Though the styling is different and it is wrapped in more exotic cloth that serves as like a band around his head.
Vladstin recognized this from his history books. This is an old Crescentian headwear, back from the time that it is much more tribal and did not adapt to other kingdom's reality just to get along with them and avoid war. This may even be worn during the Ilvedian-Crescentian Siege from 800 years ago.
