Rheya Apostolous
Demetrius and Rheya had a loving relationship, and they're seen raising their daughter Iola together after Rheya became a vampire and took over the kingdom of Mydiea. They were always close.

It is revealed in Book 3, Chapter 13, that Rheya tried to resurrect him after he was killed by the Sons of Ares, but he came back wrong due to being dead for too long. Gaius describes him as a walking plague who radiated death everywhere he went. While Rheya is the first Vampire, he is the first Feral. She couldn't stand being around him, and locked him up, but eventually set him free. Demetrius then took a boat and sailed off to an abandoned island in the South Pacific.

Iola
Iola is Demetrius's daughter. They have a loving relationship, and they are always staying together and close to Rheya, until she is killed by burning by the Sons of Ares.

Powers and Abilities

 * Immortality: In Book 1, Chapter 2, Adrian confirms that he does not age. Thus we can assume the same can be said for Demetrius and all the Ferals.
 * Super-Strength: In Book 1, Chapter 2, Adrian confirms that he is strong enough to lift a car. The same can be said for all Ferals, Demetrius included.
 * Heightened Senses: In Book 1, Chapter 6, Lily mentions how she can feel the slightest air currents, how she can even see the tiniest pores in Your Character's skin and can hear the water running through the pipes three stories up. Thus we can assume the same can be said for all Ferals including Demetrius.
 * Pestilence: As Gaius mentions, Demetrius has the ability to turn humans and vampires Feral without touching them. He radiates death like a walking plague and whoever touches his blood can become Feral; Rheya included. Due to that, the island he lives on is slowly killing everyone.

Weaknesses

 * Sunlight: Sunlight is one of vampires' weaknesses. As Adrian stated, sunlight does hurt him and can prove fatal after more than thirty minutes of exposure. It's akin to hypersensitivity; overexposure causes, as Adrian describes it, an accelerated heat stroke. This same weakness can be assumed for all Ferals, and therefore Demetrius as well.
 * Decapitation: Dismembering or manually removing the head of a Feral will result in instant and permanent death.
 * Heart Extraction: Removing and subsequently destroying the heart of a Feral will also result in permanent death.
