#but they were hunted down dismembered and sold for their valuable “contains”

[anney-baker]

I can't believe I haven't realised it sooner.

So in seasons 5 and 6 we've witnessed how substances containing Guillermo's DNA have protective and healing effect on vampires.

Ofc this sparked discussions on what other hidden abilities Guillermo and his body have. And there's this small but significant detail I've never seen brought up:

Both of these instances had the use of Guillermo's DNA at the time when he was turning into a vampire.

Guillermo was renouncing his birth status as a vampire slayer, becoming the literal opposite of that. So what if his DNA was going through the same process? Becoming the opposite of danger to vampires - protection and recovery?

This also checks out as the "vampiric ability that comes from a character trait" (e.g. Nandor's pyrokinesis, Nadja's ultraloud voice) since Guillermo always cares about and protects his loved ones, some of whom just happen to be vampires.

And the incredible feats we've seen from his DNA? They came from his transition period. What power he would hold as a full-fledged vampire?👀 Maybe, just as his slaying final goal was to kill a vampire, his vampiric final goal would be to bring one from the death.

I wholeheartedly believe we can't truly comprehend how powerful Guillermo can be as a vampire.
