Human

Antonio
"His voice was low and sullen. His deeply tanned arms were crossed loosely over his chest."

Antonio is human and Dominga's grandson, he has dark eyes.

Bert
"Bert didn't match the small blue office. There is nothing small about Bert. Six-four, broad shoulders, a colege athlete's figure getting a little soft around the middle. His white hair is close-cut over small ears. A boater's tan forces his pale eyes and hair into sharp contrast. His eyes are nearly colorless grey, like dirty window glass." He has a solemn square face and large "blunt-fingered hands".

"Empathy never worked well on Bert's face. I could always see the wheels moving. The angles calculating."

"He smiled then. It was his only genuine smile. His eyes gleamed but not with warmth, more with pleasure. There is something measuring, obscenely knowledgeable, about Bert's smile. As is he knew the darkest thing you had ever done and would gladly keep silent-for a price. There was something a little frightening about a man who knew he was not a nice person and didn't give a damn. It went against everything America holds dear. We are taught above all else to be nice, to be liked, to be popular. A person who has set aside all that is a maverick and a potentially dangerous human being."

Bert is Anita's boss at Animators Inc.

Catherine Maison-Gillett
"The wind blew her long copper-colored hair. I've never been able to decide if Catherine would be prettier if she cut her hair, so you'd notice the face first, or if the hair was what made her pretty." She also has freckles on her face.

Catherine is one of Anita's human friends.

Charles Montgomery
"He stood just behind me like a tall dark mountain. Charles looks like he played football somewhere. He has the ability to frown and make people run for cover. He just looks like a hard ass. The truth is Charles faints at the sight of anything but animal blood."

Clive Perry
"He was a tall, slender, black man, and most recent member of the spook squad. He alwasy seemed so soft-spoken and pleasant. I could never imagine Perry doing anything rude enough to piss someone off, but you didn't get assigned to the squad without a reason."

Perry is a Detective on the RPIT squad.

Craig
"He has short, babyfine brown hair. Round glasses to match a round face. He's slender and taller than I am, but then who isn't? He's in his twenties with a wife and two babies."

Craig is the night secretary at Animators, Inc.

David St. John
"He was about five-foot ten, thin without being skinny, like a marathon runner. His hair was a paler, browner version of Larry's red. You noticed his glasses before you noticed his eyes, but the eyes were worth noticing. A perfect pale green like a cat's. Except for the eyes it was a very ordinary face, but it was one of those faces you wouldn't grow tired of."

David is the Sheriff of Monkey's Eyebrow and appears in Bloody Bones.

Dolph aka Rudolph Storr
"He was six-eight and built bulky like a wrestler. He had a brisk, striding walk. His close-cropped hair left his ears bare." "His thick hands, encased in surgical gloves, were on his thighs. His black hair was cut so short it left his ears sort of stranded on either side of a large blunt face." "Dolph was made up of blunt angels."

"Dolpha didn't care much for fashion, but he looked neat and tidy and businesslike. It never mattered what hour you called Dolph, he was always ready to do his job. A professional cop down to his socks."

He is not a man of many words. He keeps a neutral face so as not to influence his people.

Dolph is a sergeant and the head of RPIT.

Edward aka Death & Ted
"I shut the door behind me and locked it, though truthfully with Edward inside I might have been safer locking myself out rather than in. He was not an imposing man, not frightening, if you didn't know him. He was five-eight, slender, blonde, blue-eyed, charming. But if I was The Executioner, he was Death itself. He was ther person I had seen use the flamethrower." "His eyes were the color of spring skies, that warm pale blue that still manages to look cold."

"I had worked with him before, and heaven knows you felt safe with him. He carried more firepower than Rambo, but he was a little too careless of innocent bystanders. He began life as a hit man. I think humans became too easy so he switched to vampire and lycanthropes."

Evans
"A slice of pale face was staring out from between the curtains. Evan's blue eye blinked at me. Stringy yellow hair trailed over a dark blue bathrobe. His face was covered in a bristly reddish beard."

Evans is a clairvoyant that helps Anita in The Laughing Corpse.

Sergeant Freemont
"From my knees she looked every inch of her five-foot-eight. Her hair was straight, dark, cut just below her chin. The ends were curled under to frame her face. Deep smile lines put her on the far side of forty, but she wasn't smiling now."

Freemont is a Sergeant of the Missouri State Highway Patrol and appears in Bloody Bones.

Holmes
She was small, only a little taller than I, thin, with close-cropped hair hidden under Smokey Bear hat. The only thing I could tell in the flashing lights was that everything on her was pale, from her eyes to her hair. She was pretty in a pixielike way, cute.

Holmes is a deputy of the Willoton Police Department. She dies after being shot by Aikenson in The Lunatic Cafe.

Garroway
"He was tall, not as tall as Dolph, but then who was? He had a salt-and-pepper mustache, pale eyes, and was ruggedly handsome. One of those men who might not have been very attractive as a young man, but age had given his face characte, depth."

Garroway is the Chief of the Willoton Police Department and comes on scene in the Lunatic Cafe.

Jamison Clarke
His skin was the color of dark honey, his eyes pale green; long, tight curls framed his face. The hair was almost auburn. Jasmison was the first green-eyed, red-haired black man I had ever met. He was slender, lean, not the thinness of exercise but of lucky genetics. Jamison's idea of a workout was lifting shot glasses at a good party."

Jamison is an animator at Animators Inc. and feels that vampires are fanged people.

Jeffrey Quinlan-Senior
"The man was broad, not fat, but square like a linebacker. He had short black hair that was going nicely grey at the sideburns. Very distinguished. His complexion was ruddy, not tanned, but colorful just the same. Anger glittered in his dark eyes."

Jeffry is the father of Jeff and Ellie who are made into vampires and then killed in Bloody Bones.

Jeremy Ruebans
"Jeremy Ruebans was short, dark, and grumpy. I'd never seen him when he wasn't either frowning or shouting. His small features were clustered in the middle of his face as if some giant hand had mashed them together before the clay had dried."

"His hands smoothed over the lapel of his coat, the dark blue tie, tie clip, white shirt collar. I figured I could stand to watch him fidget maybe five more times before I screamed for mercy and promised him anything he wanted."

Katie
"She was a small woman with a mane of dark hair tied in a loose ponytail. Without a spot of makeup she was lovely. She walked towards me, dark eyes wide. Her voice was high and breathy, like a little girl's."

Luther
"Luther is large, nay, fat. There is no other word for it, but it is hard fat, rock-solid, almost a kind of muscle. His hands are huge-knuckled and as big as my face. Of course, my face is small. He is a very dark black man, nearly purplish black, like mahogany. The creamy chocolate of his eyes is yellow-edged from too much cigarette smoke. I don't think I have ever seen Luther without a cig clasped between his lips. He is overweight, chainsmmokes, and the grey in his hair marks him as over fifty, yet he's never sick."

His voice matched his body, deep and gravelly.

Luther is a bartender at Dead Dave's.

Manny
"He's about two inches taller than I am. His coal-black hair is streaked with grey and white. Thick waves of it frame his thin face and black mustache. He's fifty-two, and with one exception, I would still rather have him backing me in a dangerous situation than anyone else I know."

"He grinned at me flashing very white teeth in his brown face."

He has a mexican accent and was the animator and vampire slayer that trained Anita.

Marguerite
"A woman with nearly white blond hair looked wildly around the room. Her blue eyes widened as she saw us."

Marguerite is Yasmeen's human servant, she claws out her eyes and her face when Yasmeen is killed by Alejandro in The Circus of the Damned.

Mary
"Mary our day secretary, is over fifty. How much over is her own business. Her hair is short and does not move in the wind. A carton of hair spray sees to that. Mary is not into the natural look." Mary has blond hair "that was a little too yellow to be natural."

Mary is the day secretary at Animators Inc.

Merlioni
"Merlioni was tall, though not as tall as Dolph. He had grey curling hair cut short and buzzed on the sides over his ears."

Merlioni is on the RPIT squad.

Monica Vespucci
"Her white blouse was silk with a high, flared collar framing a dark, health-club tan. Her hair was short and expertly cut; her makeup, perfect."

Monica works with Catherine at her office.

Phillip
"A white t-shirt hugged his upper body; not a muscleman, but well built. Not too much of a good thing. His thick, brown hair was long enough to sweep his shoulders."

Scars hugged the bend of each arm, until the skin had formed white mounds of scar tissue. His neck looked like a junkie's arm. There was scar tissue on his smooth, bare chest: white scars, pinkish scars, new scars, old scars." His skin is tanned and he has big brown eyes.

He smiled. The smile was dazzling, brilliant, melt-in-your-mouth sexy." "He rewarded me with one of those brilliant smiles. If I had been less professional, it might have melted me into my socks. There was a tinge of evil to it, a lot of sex, but under that was a little boy peeking out, an uncertain little boy."

"The kiss was everything advertised, full soft lips, a press of skin, and heated weight."

Phillip works as a stripper at Guilty Pleasures and is a vampire junkie. When he was young he was attcked by Valentine who "did ol' Phillip" the first time.

Mrs. Pringle
"Mrs. Pringle is over sixty, nearly six feet tall, stretched too thin with age. The hair was perfectly white. Mrs. Pringle didnt't bother with dyes or makeup. She was over sixty-five and didn't care who knew it. Her faded blue eyes are bright and curious behind silver-rimmed glasses. Her dog Custard is a pomeranian. He looks like a golden dandelion fluff with cat feet."

Mrs. Pringle is Anita's neighbor at her apartment building.

Ronnie Sims aka Veronica
Ronnie is five-nine. "Her pure grey eyes, soft as kitten fur, stared at me." "Her short blond hair is cut in a sort of page-boy."

Ronnie is Anita's best human friend and a private detective on the retainer to Animators, Inc.

Rosita
"Thick brown hands gripping her black patent leather purse. She is what my stepmother used to call large boned. Her black hair was cut just below the ears and loosely permed. The hair needed to be longer. It emphasized how perfectly round her face was."

Rosita is Manny's wife.

Sally Quinlan
"She had thick black hair done in some short, complicated style that looked too stiff to touch. "

Sally is the mother of Jeff and Ellie who are made into vampires and then killed in Bloody Bones.

Samuel Williams
"The man was tall. A lock of white-blond hair obscured one eye. He wore round metal-framed glasses that made his face look even younger than it was."

Samuel is the caretaker of the Audubon Nature Center and is killed by Aikenson in The Lunatic Cafe.

Wanda aka Wheelchair Wanda
"Wheelchair Wanda was a small woman sitting in one of those sport wheelchairs that are used for racing. She wore workout gloves, and the muscles in her arms moved under her tanned skin as she pushed herself along. Long brown hair fell in gentle waves around a very pretty face. The makeup was tasteful."

Zerbrowski
"Detective Zerbrowski was about five-seven, curly black hair going grey, dark rimmed glasses framed brown eyes. He was grinning at me. He was always grinning at me."

Zerbrowski is a Detective on the RPIT squad.
