Intro.
There has already been quite a lot of speculation about who the mysterious Mr Blue-Eyed in Cyberpunk might be.
Most versions agree that Mr. Blue-Eyed is either an AI version of Richard Night, the founder of the Night Corporation and secret lord of Night City, or Night himself in the flesh, himself or with the help of his proxies controlling the city he created.
Without disputing this theory, which is already generally accepted and has gone beyond mere conspiracy, let's look at the mysterious character from a different angle.
Let's look at one famous video:

While looking for a game to play, I came across this short intreview by P.Sasko, and taking his words as advice, or as a guide to action, I plunged into a whole line of dark vampire games, united by the common name Vampires - the Masquerade.
Of course, I may now be rebuked for committing a crime by bringing lore from another universe into the Cyberpunk forum. But guys, hey, in its time Cyberpunk itself became popular in part because it overlapped several target audience groups at once: The Edgerunners' and Cyberpunk fans, not to mention fans of Pondsmith's talent and his board game studio, as well as Gibson readers.
Hopefully the credibility of the guy in the video praising Bloodlines will keep me from criticising.
Oh, and anyway, I like to commit crimes ).
In general, the data we were interested in was found in the game Vampires: The Masquerade. Coteries of New York.
In the game, if when you create a base character, you choose to play as a corpo girl, you are Embraced (i.e. turned into a vampire) by a mysterious corpo, who later turns out to be a high-born vampire from the Ventrue clan, known for their sophistication, intrigue, and lust for power over mortals and other Kingred vampires, as they call themselves.
And what follows are screenshots, which I know you'll just adore me for:
Unfortunately, The Coteries of New York ends before our search for Mr Blue-Eyed ends - he manages to disappear again. In the game, a corporate girl (with the name Vee, in my case, gets hooked by an old Italian vampire from New York named Thomas Arturo, and doesn't have the strength or ability to escape the trap, her sire dies, and Blue-Eyed disappears from sight). Nevertheless, we have a basic premise:
Mr Blue-Eyed is a high-born vampire of the New York Camarilla, of the Ventrue clan, who has survived the rise and fall of his Empire and returned to action plus or minus 100 years later in the age of cyberpunk modernity, creating a new city to replace his native New York, which he was forced to abandon for whatever reason. The direct political influence of both him personally and the Camarilla as a whole had waned, and he had to resort to other methods of influencing the minds and destinies of mortals, like finding new ways to feed himself.
And so he created Night City.
