Julian Luna from Kindred: The Embraced
We got introduced to Luna when he was a vampire of clan Ventrue. Mark Frankel plays Julian Luna in the series Kindred: The Embraced. Julian Luna was the Cainite prince of San Francisco. He was born in 1830 and eventually married a woman named Evelyn. Unfortunately, Evelyn died during childbearing. The son she died giving birth to survived, and he carried on their family business.
After the death of Luna, a vampire known as Archon Raine makes Julian a vampire. Julian had several of his kindreds infiltrate the San Francisco police department to keep attention away from himself. The show aired in 1996 and only had one season. Do you remember fearing this vampire?
