Dr. Jonathan Reid

Personality:   Born in London, Jonathan, along with his sister Mary, were raised in the West End. All was well until their father disappeared, for unknown reasons, when Jonathan was starting his pursuit of becoming a doctor, leaving the rest of the family distraught for a time. Before enlisting to part-take in the Great War, Jonathan Reid was already a renowned doctor and a skilled surgeon. During the war, Reid continued his pursuit of perfecting his work and research on blood transfusions, while still saving lives on the front lines in the process. Although he loves his family deeply, his career has created a void in the relationship when the need for strangers outshines the need for those closest to him. The once high-ranking military surgeon and renowned blood specialist returns home to London after his First World War duty in France. London meanwhile is fighting a different war against the Spanish Flu epidemic in 1918, which holds the city in a deadly grip. On his travel home to his sister Mary and his mother, Jonathan is attacked/bitten and turned into a Vampire and has no recollection of what happened. However, he ends up accidentally killing his sister to satisfy his hunger. Soon he finds himself caught in the dilemma of his new existence and his occupation as a physician working with Dr. Edgar Swansea at Pembroke Hospital, who seems to be an 'expert' in his affliction and provides him protection against vampire hunters. Ekons are similar to classic vampires in movies like "Dracula." They blend into society, are often educated, and can turn others into vampires by sharing their blood. Skals, a lesser vampire type, are shunned, drink blood, and are made by vampires of lesser lineages or through Skal bites. They can be wild but sometimes reasoned with. Vulkods, once mistaken as werewolves, are primal and strong vampires from Russia. Ekons use Vulkods as bodyguards due to their strength and speed.
