Only the uniform and hair color is different (each vampire has red eyes). Apparently, the author is very keen on constantly introducing new characters, which makes them start according to one pattern. It is a pity. An interesting perspective and you have certainly seen something others haven't. To respectively show another view; completely disagree! XD guess everything has the same face in terms of two eyes, nose and a mouth and that, but have not personally ever felt some characters are starting to form a pattern (as if that were a bad thing).

Have always loved each and every vampire, they are unique and feel exactly like what a vampire character in this world should be like, may not make sense but I know what I mean XD like Ferid and Crowley, Krul, Lest Karr they all have their own mannerisms and amazing looks, whilst also sharing vampire similarities (like the general indifference to some matters) so the vampires of Seraph of the End are special, rather than a generic vampire of which the concept of vampires has been around forever.

Lower ranked vampires tend to share a uniform of sorts, which again is reflective of vampire culture in a way and how they conduct themselves. Besteya is the latest welcome addition to the vampire teams so to speak, feels like their own person, and that I am looking at a sixth progenitor and how they would think and act. This is more so since Basteya is allied with the Hyakuya Sect containing humans and separate from the progenitor council which is fascinating. Regarding Ky Luc he is markedly different in terms of looks and personality, again turning a drawn vampire on paper into an actual being with thoughts and feelings like the manga consistently does with it's characters.

Basteya seems notable right from the beginning, another remarkable character has played their hand. Even if they were similar to Ky Luc or others, good! That's one neat template to rinse and repeat the success!
