Robert Carter question
stanles
"employer" and the "vampire with this retainer" if he is moved to
another vampire via Heidelburg Castle, does Robert Carter "remember"
who originally took the employ retainer action, and that vampire is
the one who has to burn the blood ... or is who ever Robert Carter is
currently on during the untap phase the employer at that time?
Depending upon the answer to that question, if Robert Carter enters
play without an employ retainer action, via Summon History for
instance, is he consider to have an employer?
Robert Carter
Cardtype: Retainer
Cost: 1 blood
Unique ghoul with 1 life.
During your untap phase, Carter's employer burns 1 blood, or Carter is
burned. The vampire with this retainer gets +2 bleed.

The latter.

Yes: the vampire he is on is him employer.
Retainer : Employer :: Equipment : Bearer

> "employer" and the "vampire with this retainer"
Just to be clear, I think that wording differentiation is there in
case the retainer ends up on a non-vampire ally; since that ally has
no blood to burn, but Carter still checks, Carter burns, but since the
ally isn't a vampire, no +2 bleed. In other words, Ghouls only work
for vampires who can feed them.
