On his deathbed, Ruthven demands that Aubrey make an oath with him: that he will not mention his death for a year and a day. On their journey robbers attack them and Ruthven is mortally wounded. When Aubrey recovers he proposes traveling with Ruthven to take his mind off Ianthe. Ruthven appears by Aubrey's bedside and attends to him. In his delirium, he calls out to Ianthe and Ruthven and pleads for the latter to spare the former. Back in Athens, Aubrey contracts a violent fever. The townspeople who see her corpse believe that her death was the doing of a vampire. She has blood on her breast and neck and bitemarks on her throat. He hears a scream and eventually finds the dead body of Ianthe.
But Aubrey runs late and he is caught in a storm in the woods at night. Ianthe and her family urge him to return before nightfall because his route goes through the woods haunted by vampires. He falls in love with her, and she tells him supernatural tales, including the legend of the vampire. Appalled, Aubrey leaves Ruthven and travels to Athens, where he meets Ianthe, a beautiful Greek girl. He also tries to seduce a young, innocent woman, though Aubrey tries to stop him. When they tour in Rome, Lord Ruthven gambles and give his money to impoverished people with vices, rather than virtuous people in need.
Aubrey becomes fascinated by Ruthven and obtains approval to accompany the lord on his travels through Europe. The other man is Aubrey, a handsome, wealthy orphan who uses his wild imagination more than his judgment. Yet everyone he meets is attracted to him and seeks to win his affection. He is frighteningly pale and has a self-absorbed, uninterested attitude.
