Excuse me for getting educational about this, however, Queen Penthesilea was Greek, and hailed from the Amazons, and probably there is a lot of archaeological evidence to prove that she was an island-hopper in a community of peoples with a climate similar to that of the Caribbean Islands. She fought in the Trojan War according to online sources.

There is a lot of history, and a little bit of conflict in the various sources about Queen P, however, most will agree that she did indeed have a vampiric strike, and was a protector of the innocent.
