So I know diplomats are usually not only humans but also demons and creatures that have risen to great power over the years but having an open vampire as a diplomat is just dumb. Arent vampires killed once known in dwarf fortress?

[Brewster]

Guess you're about to find out!!

[DanteThanatos]

Well...what are you waiting for?

[nanomage]

He's a leader of human civ, why would your dwarves kill him? Btw he'll still happily have some of your dwarves for his snack, I had this happen to me.

[Sus]

Yeah, I got a vampire law giver too. A real nice, civil fella.
Obviously, the humans don't know he's one; it's not like they sparkle or anything.

[Findulidas]

the humans don't know he's one

"Hi I am a vampire. hehe, yeah, they dont know. Dont worry I wont kill anyone here just keep it a secret. Oh being a vampire is real good, able to live for a long time and as long as there are no adventurers around you can basically do what you want. A cousin of mine has told me he has killed thousands, elves included of course. Hes probably bragging though."

[slothen]

had this happen with no incident.  I made a note to look him up in legends mode.  He only visited once, despite being visited by numerous human law givers.  I'm not sure if he was deposed, or if I was just visited by different human civs.

In legends, it looks like Vampires with actual LAW_MAKING responsibilities tend to lay oppressive edicts upon people once they are suspected.

"Hey, aren't you..."

"CURFEW! Get back to your houses"

i had one a while ago kill one of my dorfs and blame someone else. he was the only witness. i convicted him, but my justice dorf refuses to issue sentence to anyone (YAY! no need to worry about mandates. . . ) i decided to take matters into my own hands and had my military target and kill him (no issue there since he was not a member of my civ). the humans sent one siege, who all ended up naked in my arena for recruit training, and then sent a *normal* diplomat to negotiate a truce. i set up a temporary office for my baron on the observation deck of the arena and let him watch the training. . . no problems since!

It's because of the bug where historical figures vanish from existence the moment they leave your map. As such he simply ceased to exist when he walked off the edge of your map, resulting in his inability to visit a second time.

So the enemies made during fortress life (I think they are guys who ran away) can't be met and dealt with while adventuring later? Pity. I really wanted to whack one nasty goblin macelord.

Nope. They might or might not be driven out. In adventure mode, you'll often see people say that they know that someone in power is a vampire, but they're afraid to do anything about it. It's not like they are all subtle; I've seen more than one animalperson vampire in power.
