Deceased

Aikenson
"He was pale and freckled and at least six foot two. His shoulders were very broad in his dark winter jacket. He looked like a large man who had always been large, and thought that made him tough. His hair was some pale shade tha absorbed the colors of flashing lights, so his hair looked alternately blue and red."

Aikenson is a deputy.

Anita kills Aikenson with a knife to the groin and then drags up it upwards into his abdomen after she promised him she would kill him if he touched Williams.

Alejandro
"His face was all flat, high cheekbones with narrow, almost slanted eyes and long, straight hair. If he'd been any more ethnic, he'd have been carved in stone, surrounded by snakes and Aztec gods." "My eyes were on a level with his belt buckle, which made him about my height. Short for a man. A white, Anglo-Saxon, twentieth-century man."

Alejandro is a Master Vampire that marks Anita four times in Circus of the Damned. She then kills him by ripping out his heart with her bare hands, and digging out his throat with her fingers, shortly after he had given her the last mark.

Alfred
"One was at least six feet tall, slender but muscled like a basketball player. His hair was black, cut short with a matching finger-thin mustache and goatee beard."

Anita shoots Alfred with a silver bullet in the heart from her Firestar after he was ordered by Marcus to take her guns away and wouldn't back down.

Aubrey
"The vampire stared at me. His hair was golden silk, his skin ivory, eyes like drowning pools. His eyes were a solid, perfect brown, bottomless, endless."

Aubrey is around 450 years old and not a master vampire, he is one of Nikolaos minions. Anita killed him in Guilty Pleasures with a knife after he killed Phillip.

Beth St. John
"She was about my height with dark hair that was either naturally curly or had a really good perm. But she'd done more with it than I did, and it framed her face neatly. She looked about seventeen, but I wasn't fooled. The woman moved back out of the door, and the light from the hallway fell full on her face. It added five years to her age, but they were a good five years."

Beth is killed by vampires in Bloody Bones.

Bettina
"They were both tall, around six feet, and dressed in black leather." "Bettina was the blonde of the pair." "They were chesty, slim waisted, but Bettina's eyes were too small. Neither of them was pretty, or even beautiful, there were handsome in the way that some tall, leggy women are."

Bettina is around 500 years old.

Bettina dies in the fire the police set to Serephinas daily resting place in Bloody Bones.

Bruce
"He was short, slender, with a face too young to be handsome, more pretty. He was so newly dead that his skin still held the tan he'd picked up at the beach, or lake or some other suns-soaked place. He looked frightfully young to be dead. He had to be eighteen, anything younger and it was illegal, but he still looked delicate and half-finished. Jailbait forever."

Bruce dies after Larry shoots him in Bloody Bones.

Bruno
"A slender black man sat in one of the leather chairs. He was over six feet tall, exactly how much over was hard to tell. His legs were taller than I was. His brown eyes watched me as if he were trying to memorize me and would be graded later."

Bruno is one of Harold Gaynor's bodyguards, he is human.

Anita kills him in The Laughing Corpse by driving a machete into his gut and then drawing it upwards towards his throat so that his insides spill out.

Buchard
"He was nearly perfectly bald, face narrow, eyes dark. Most men don't look good without hair. This one did. He was handsome but had the air of a man who didn't care much about that. I wanted to call him a soldier, though I didn't know why."

"The man's voice was deep, faintly British, cultured, but human."

Burchard is 603 years old and is Nikolaos's human servant.

Anita kills Burchard in Guilty Pleaures, she plunges a knife into his back, pulls it out, and then plunges it into his throat.

Cicely
"She was tall, leggy, blond, with cornflower-blue eyes. Long pale legs were stuffed into pink spike heels."

"She threw back her head and laughed, but no sound came out. Her face brightened, her lips moved, eyes sparkled, but in absolute silence, like someone had turned the sound off."

Cicely is Harold Gaynor's girlfriend and is a human being and deaf.

Anita kills her in The Laughing Corpse by shooting her with a .357 in the chest.

Dominga Salvador
"Sitting at the kitchen table was a woman in her early sixties. Her thin brown face was seamed with a lot of smile lines. Pure white hair was done in a bun at the nape of her neck. She sat very straight in her chair, thin boned hands folded on the tabletop."

"Her voice was rich, a contralto with the velvet brush of an accent."

"Dominga stood in the midst of that light, that whiteness, and gleamed with evil. There was no other word for it. She wasn't just bad, she was evil. It gleamed around her like darkness made liquid and touchable. The smiling old woman was gone. She was a creature of power."

Dominga is the voodoo priest for the entire Midwest.

Anita kills Dominga in The Laughing Corpse by having an entire graveyard of zombies she'd raise eat her after she orders them to kill her.

Enzo
"He was in his late forties, maybe. His black hair had a pure white streak just over the forehead."

"His voice was thick and held an accent."

Enzo is one of Dominga's helpers and personal bodyguard.

Anita kills him in The Laughing Corpse by driving a machete into his throat.

Gabriel
"He had hair cut just above his collar, so curly it looked like fur, or maybe....Naw. He had thick eyebrows over dark eyes, with heavy sensual features. The Rat King's lips may have seemed kissable, but this man seemed made for nefarious deeds done in dark places.""His eyes were a strange liquid grey." "He laughed, mouth wide, exposing pointed canines, top and bottom like a cat. Not fangs, but not human, either." "His grey eyes were startling even in sunlight, maybe more so. They had a quality of light to the grey that was almost luminous."

Harold Gaynor
"He was a large man with a pleasant round face, double-chinned. He was sitting in an electric wheelchair, with a small plaid blanket over his lap, hiding his legs.

"His voice went with his face, pleasant, damn near amiable."

Harold is human and very rich, he offers Anita 1.5 million to raise the dead, the only problem is she has to kill a human being to do so.

Anita kills Harold in The Laughing Corpse by having an entire graveyard of zombies she'd raise eat him after she orders them to kill him.

Ivy
"The vampire was only a few inches taller than I was. The vampire had brown hair, cut so short the hair on either side of her head had been shaved. Silver stud earrings glittered up the curve of her ears. One long earring dangled from her left ear. It was a green enamel leaf on a sliver chain."

"Her voice had an edge of laughter to it, but unlike Jean-Claudes laugh that always felt vaguely sexual, or fattening, hers felt sharp as broken glass, meant to hurt, terrify, not titillate."

Ivy dies in the fire the police set to Serephinas daily resting place in Bloody Bones.

Janos
"He unfolded, impossibly tall and thin, cadaverous. He had not fed tonight, and was wasting no power on looking pretty. His skin was the color of old parchment and clung to the bones of his face like a thin film barely covering his skull. His eyes were sunken and dull in his head, the dead blue eyes of a fish. His sickly hands were long and bony with impossibly long fingers, like white spiders sticking from the sleeves of his black coat. He was dressed entirely in black; only his skin and the short cut white hair on his head betrayed him."

Janos dies in the fire the police set to Serephinas daily resting place in Bloody Bones.

Karl Inger
"He was a few inches over six feet. A wavy mass of short-cut red hair graced a large face. He had honest-to-god muttonchop sideburns that grew into one of the fullest mustaches I'd ever seen. Everything was neatly trimmed except for his unruly hair. His voice was a deep rumbling bass, pleasant."

Karl is Mr. Oliver's human servant and has been with him for over 700 years. He dies after Anita kills Mr. Oliver in The Circus of the Damned.

Kasper Gunderson
"This from a tall man who sat alone, chairs on either side acting as walls. He had short white hair, cut in a strange Mia Farrow sixties cut, but gentler." "His baby-fine hair was nearly white, almost feathery. I brushed fingers through his hair, and it was soft and downy like the under feathers on a bird. Heat rose from his scalp like fever." "There was a line of white feathers down the middle of his chest. Soft and downy as an Easter duck." "He frowned, eyebrows arching together. The white eyebrows were not hair."

Edward sends Kaspars swan skin to Anita with the two note one says "I found a witch to life his curse." while the second says, "Marcus paid me." Anita has it framed behind glass and hangs it in her living room.

Kissa
"She was tall, taller than Jean-Claude. Her skin was the color of coffee with two creams. Her dark hair fell in long cornrows to her waist. Her voice was thick like honey."

Kissa dies in the fire the police set to Serephinas daily resting place in Bloody Bones.

Magnus Bouvier
"The hair fell to his waist like thick, chestnut-colored water. He raised startling blue-green eyes, like deep sea water, to us. He was dark and lovely rather than handsome, androgynous as a cat. He was exotic as hell and I suddenly understood why the bar was three deep in women. His voice was surprisingly low, like he' sing deep bass."

Magnus dies in Bloody Bones after Anita orders a vampire to rise during the day and stop Magnus, who walks out into the sun. Magnus burns to death from the burning vampire clutching at him.

Marcus
"The other man was no more than five foot seven. His hair was that funny shade of blond that has brown highlights in it, but still manages to be blond. The hair was short but styled and blow-dried, and would have been lovely to look at if it had been a little longer. His face was clean-shaven, square jawed, with a dimple in his chin. The dimple should have made the face look fun, but it didn't. It was a face for rules. Those thin lips were built for saying, my way or else."

Nikolaos
"She had been about twelve or thirteen when she died. Small, half formed breasts showed uner a long flimsy dress. It was pale blue and looked warm against the total whiteness of her skin. She had been pale when alive; as a vampire she was ghostly. Her hair was that shining white-blonde that some children have before their hair darkens to brown. This hair would never grow dark." "Her eyes were blue, or grey, or both."

"She laughed, it was the sound of chimes or belles. A lovely, calculated sound." "She laughed again, so high and clear you could have bottled it." "She stared down at me and laughed, that wondrous wind chime of a laugh."

"Her voice lilted at the end of each word, a Shirely Temple affectation." "Her voice was like her laugh, high and harmless. Planned innocence."

"She smiled at me. No fang showed. She looked so human, eyes sparkling with humor, race rounded and pleasant."

Nikolaos is a thousand maybe more years old and she is the master of the city in Guilty Pleasures.

Anita kiills Nikolaos in Guilty Pleasures by taking a sword to her neck twice, nearly cutting it off, and then plunging the blade in between her breasts.

Mr. Oliver
"He was a small man, almost a midget or a dwarf. I wanted to say dwarf, but he didn't have the jaw or the shortened arms. He looked well formed under his tailored suit. He had almost no chin and a sloping forehead, which drew attention to the wide nose and the prominent eyebrow ridge. There was something familiar about his face, as if I'd seen it somewhere else before. Yet I knew I'd never met a person who looked just like him. It was a very singular face." "He was four feet tall, not an inch more.

"I remembered where I'd seen a face like Oliver's. I'd had one anthropology class in college. There'd been a drawing that looked just like Oliver. It had been a reconstruction of a Homo erectus skull. Which made Oliver about a million years old."

"I met his eyes; they were brown and smiling. His dark hair was cut one hair at a time, expensive and blow-dried."

"His voice was soft, low, rich, like cream in coffee. You could almost taste it. A comforting warmth to your ears. I only knew one other voice that could do similar things."

Anita kills Mr. Oliver in Circus of the Damned by shoving an ask stake through his chest, pulling out his spine through his throat, and then jerks his head clear and tosses it far away.

Pallas
"They were both tall, around six feet, and dressed in black leather." "Pallas was the brunette of the pair." "They were chesty, slim waisted, but Pallas's face was a little too witchy-looking. Neither of them was pretty, or even beautiful, there were handsome in the way that some tall, leggy women are."

Pallas dies in the fire the police set to Serephinas daily resting place in Bloody Bones.

Raina Wallis
Raina's Day Form: "She was tall, slender, with long straight hair. It was a rich, reddish auburn that gleamed under the lights. Her face was a soft triangle, chin maybe a little too pointed, but overall she was lovely. Her eyes were a strange amber-brown that matched her hair perfectly."

Her real form: "She was gorgeous. Her cheekbones were high and sculpted. Her eyes wider and more centered in her face. She looked what might have been her sister, a family resemblance but not the same person."

"She gave a low laugh that was rich and bubbling. The kind of laugh that was meant for bedrooms and private jokes.

"Her walk was a gliding, athletic movement like a big cat's."

Raymond Stirling
"Stirling had the palest grey eyes I'd ever seen. The irises were only a few shades darker than the whites of his eyes."

Stirling is a lawyer for Beadle, Beadle, Stirling, and Lowenstein. Raymond is killed in Bloody Bones when Bettina and Pallas drain him dry.

Robert
"The vampire was tall with high cheekbones, model-perfect, sculpted. He was too masculine to be beautiful, and too perfect to be real." "Someone came to stand over me, long yellow hair, square-jawed, handsome face." "His eyes were blue."

Robert was over a hundred years old.

Serephina
"Her hair was grey with streaks of white, left unadorned save for a headband of silver and pearls. Her face was lined with age. Delicate makeup had been added, but not enough to hide the fact that she was old. It was hard to tell in the moonlight an ghostly glow, but her eyes were pale, maybe grey, maybe blue."

Serephina dies in the fire the police set to Serephinas daily resting place in Bloody Bones.

Theresa
"The female vampire reclined on the bed. She looked like a vampire should. Long, straight, black hair fell around her shoulders. Her dress was full-skirted and black. She wore high black boots with three-inch heels." "Her eyes were black and widened in surprise when I looked at them."

"She laughed, and it had the same quality of touch that Jean-Claude's did. A sound that you could feel with your hands."

"Her r's were thick with some accent that I couldn't place."

Theresa is one hundred, one hundred and fifty years old, no more than that. She is not a master vampire.

Theresa was killed in Guilty Pleasures by Zachary, she had her head removed and her heart pulled out.

Titus
"The man that went with the voice was about five foot six and must have weighed over two hundred pounds. He looked perfectly round like a sausage with arms and legs. His winter jacket strained over his round little tummy. A clear, grey stubble decorated his double chins. His eyes were small, nearly lost in the doughiness of his face."

Titus has a southern accent and is a Sheriff.

Edward shoots Titus with a rifle in the head.

Tommy
The man was maybe five-eight, but the orange polo shirt he wore strained over his chest. The black sport jacket seemed too small, as if when he moved the seams would split, like an insect's skin that had been outgrown. Black acid-washed jeans showed off a small waist, so he looked like someone had pinched him in the middle while the clay was still wet. His hair was very blond. His eyes were empty, dead as a doll's."

Tommy is one of Harold Gaynors bodyguards, he is human.

Anita kills him in The Laughing Corpse, by beating him to death with a chair leg in the face after she had already burst open one of his eyes with her fingernail and had thrown a knife into his arm.

Valentine
"The left side of the face was scarred, pitted, melted away. Only his brown eye was still whole and alive, rolling in a circle of pinkish white scar tissue. Acid burns look like that. Except it hadn't been acid. It had been Holy Water."

Valantine usually wears a mask to hide his scars.

Valantine is a little over a hundred years old and Anita was the one to give him his scars while he gave her her collar bone one.

Anita and Edward kill him using an two injections of silver nitrate while he sleeps in his coffin, it takes place during Guilty Pleasures.

Winter
"Cotton white hair was shaved close to his head. The muscles in his neck bulged. His biceps were bigger around than my waist. My waist is kinda small, but his arms were still, ah, impressive. He was at least six-three, and there wasn't enough fat on him to grease a cake pan. His eyes were the crystalline paleness of January skies, a distant, icy, blue. He was also the first body builder I'd ever seen who didn't have a tan. All that rippling muscle was done in white, like Moby Dick." Winter can bench press 400 pounds. His smile is close lipped. He is careful not to show teeth so that he can play the vampire.

Winter is a human that works for Nikolaos.

Anita kills Winter in Guilty Pleaures when he tries to stop her from trying to stop Aubrey and Valantine from killing Phillip. She stabs him with a knife in the groin.

Xavier
"Long white hair framed a thin, fine-boned face. His eyes glowed blood-red. I'd seen vampires with glowing eyes before, but they always glowed the color of their irises. No one who had ever been human had red irises."

Xavier dies in the fire the police set to Serephinas daily resting place in Bloody Bones.

Yasmeen
"She was tall and slender with dark skin and long ebony hair that swung around her waist. The word that came to mind was "exotic".

"There was a hint of some other language in her voice. Something darker with rolling, sibilant sounds." "Yasmeen laughed, a harsh sound like breaking glass."

Alejandro kills Yasmeen in Circus of the Damned by snapping her spine with his teeth and pulling out her heart, which he crushes to a bloody pulp.

Zachary
"His hair was a sandy, blond, cut short. His face was strange, not good-looking, but not ugly, a face you would remember. A face that might become lovely if you looked at it long enough. His eyes were a pale greenish color."

Zachary was a necromancer killing vampires to stay alive. Anita kills him in Guilty Pleaures by rubbing human blood on the gris gris used to keep him alive.
