he has VIC anyway so he doesn't get much from PRO.

Yes and no. He gain Flesh of marble and a lot more (costly) stealth option. That open some interesting long range vissicitude option.

Second thought: If the average game is 12 turns he will have a capacity of 17 at the end of it...

How do you produce the 12 vampires he'll eat? Embrace? 1-cap guys? Anyway, it's not automatic.

10 vamps (takes ~2 turns to influence also). Anyway, tupdog is the perfect lunch for the Devourer. Just bring out 1 per minion phase and you get a free Effective Management.

If it is not automatic then the vamp is a superior version of Al-Muntaquim, The Avenger.

+bleed, +capacity and +strength and bloodgain on top of not being restricted to caitiff.

No. Read again tupdog, he does not work that way.

He is automatic however. He just don't eat iteself if nobody is available. Also, the interesting part of Al Muntaquim is its discipline, since he have sup' temporis and inf' obfuscate. The devourer have a less interesting line up, even if it does more construction point.
