Trazyn isn't something you can replicate in Fantasy, a good part of what makes him work is being one of the most singularly powerful characters in his setting while also being detached from most concerns beside his collection. Some random antiquarian in Aldorf or for that matter Marienburg or the Vampire Coast will never be able to put Tyrion in a case beside Grimgor Ironhide and that is what one would have to do to match Trazyn's collection.

Well, there's a few problems with your plan, if what you've stated here is the desired outcome.
1) His name is Trazyn, not Tyrazen.
2) Altdorf is perhaps the single most hostile of the presented locations for an undead curator to exist in, given the Empire's been fighting them in perennial skirmishes for most of its existence, and had three full-blown defensive wars against undead trying to conquer it.

I suppose the closest thing would be a Museum version of that Von Carstein librarian living under Nuln.
Vampires were created by nagash who also created the curse that resurrected the tomb kings also there are lamina descendant vampires so a tyrazen expi is possible either by being a lamina vampire, a vampire of lamina decent, a surviving tomb king descendant whose ancestors were not in nehkara when the curse of negash occurred. There are options but besides that this is fictional not canon we can explore ideas by being a bit flexible with the lore so we can explore a interesting story idea.

Since I've learned about Count von Sangster, I'm a big fan of him. I would love to read about his adventures managing his library and stopping those pesky witch-hunters from breaking in. Him making business with Mathilde would be awesome.
I would argue that trazyn's greatest attribute is not his power but rather his shear mania the insane drive to preserve history to the point he's willing to perform incredibly mad schemes and plans solely for the purposes of acquiring new artifacts to display and preserve. Power helps display the shear mania of trazyn but his nature as a outlier is what makes him so fun to read and hear about biotranferance didn't break trazyn it freed him to do the job he loves for all eternity.

Thanks for correcting my spelling spell check does not correct trazyn's name and altdorf is my preferred choice of staring location because of the description provided by the QM because trazyn absolutely has items that other people want to take back because trazyn doesn't care about what they think he just wants to preserve history. In regards to the point about the undead I'm not sure I'm sure the QM can think of a way if trazyn even is an undead in this story.
Oh no, the elves are ahead by one point. I don't want to be the Empire's neighbor, I want to be as far from them as possible. I don't want to be an Asur either, I'm already reading three quests from that point of view. Lemme Coast. Let my boss be my entire Board of Directors simultaneously. Let me see what intelligent zombies are like. Let me see how souls cut off from the aethyr manage to still curry the favor of the divine and receive blessings that you'd think would just slide right off of them like water from a duck's back. Lemme see all the bastards of Warhammer as something other than enemies to be cut down and wiped out, because they are our customers and patrons. Please, vote VC Museum today.

How about we play an elven vampire with a double life working in both museums?
And Vampires are back baby, back by one point. Holy fucking shit.
I might use some of it, but very likely not all of it. I haven't liked what I've seen of what 4e has done with Harkon himself, either.

I don't think they'd care to collect objects from other cultures?
They're just as insular as the Karaz Ankor Dwarfs, ultimately.
I'd argue they are more insular. There is no equivalent of Imperial dwarfs living among say the Norscans even though they would be more than welcome there for the same reason the Imperial dwarfs are in the Empire.
