A vampiric servant is more than just someone who follows a vampire of their own free will. Though in almost all cases the servant is created as an expression of their wish to serve the vampire in question. A servant is a normal human in every single way except they have a strong psychological bond to the vampire in question and they are granted more stamina than other humans as a result of the bonding.

Creation
A servant is created through repeated sex and climax with a vampire. The coupling need not be heterosexual but can be any coupling between human and vampire, though most often follow the preference the vampire had prior to being turned. A vampire must be well fed but not completely sated of blood to create a servant. The creation is done over time, each shared climax creates a stronger and stronger bond. The climax is shared so it rarely would produce a servant through repeated rape, even so, some vampires attempt it and weak bonds can be created doing so.
The Bond
The bond itself begins very weak, similar to infatuation or puppy-love in humans. The vampire slowly gains perception of the human, beginning at a vague sense of when they are near and ending in a strong sense of a humans well being or even, if strong enough, being able to see through the eyes of their servant or speaking through them. The will of the human becomes more and more aligned with that of the vampire until, when they fully become a servant, it is completely subservient to that of the vampire Master / Mistress. The human then has no need for continued sexual encounters but many vampires continue them to a point. When fully bonded it is not impossible for a human servant to defy the will of his or her owner but it is highly unlikely they will choose to even if it means their own death.
The servant gains an enhanced youthfulness and longer life span as a result of being fully bonded to the vampire. They can continue to live as long as the vampire wishes so long as they continue to couple with the vampire.
Over Bonded
As the bond increases and the human servant's own will becomes more and more subservient to their master, there is a limit to how useful a servant may be beyond a certain point. When the bond is too strong and the humans will becomes too subjugated, they are no longer able to fit into normal society at all. The human will tend to stare blankly into a wall or do tasks mindlessly until they are given an order from their vampire owner or told to act a certain way. Their will becomes entirely at the behest of the vampire and they are unable to act freely without instruction.
Many vampires dispose of their servants at this point.
Death
When a human servant dies it upsets a vampire but causes very little in the way of effects. The vampire knows the human has died and usually is aware of the last thing the human perceived.
On the flip side, if a vampire dies, their human servant is mentally gutted by the event. They fall into a deep depression feeling absolutely no point in life after the death of the vampire, often requiring hospitalization to keep from taking extreme action to stop the psychological pain. Most kill themselves within days, if not hours, of the death of the vampire. While a few seek out a vampire to replace their former owner.
