Damian is introduced as a green-eyed, 500 years old vampire with blood red hair, who is not a master. He is one of Jean-Claude's vampires initially. He had been rescued from his last master Morvoren by Council intervention and Jean-Claude speaking for him.
We later discover that he is in fact over 1000 years old and that Anita had been fooled before. He had actually been a Viking who had unfortunately raided the wrong castle and been turned into a vampire by Morvoren. She had kept him for centuries as a whipping boy until his rescue.
He works at Danse Macabre and as part of his act he takes an unwilling woman from the audience which draws Anita's attention to him. Anita naturally takes a stand against this.
He sleeps with a sword in his coffin, which Warrick uses to stab him through the heart. Jean-Claude and Anita bring him back with Anita's unique ability to call vampires like zombies.
He is one of the most serious of the vampires and he is scared of Anita, perhaps with good reason.
When he heals Nathaniel the wereleopard he begins to rot and is cured by drinking from Anita which binds them even closer.
Anita in fact animates Damian and whatever did before does not.
Damian naturally resents this at first and refers to himself as Anita's pet vampire. He is bitter that he feels a desire to serve her and ask permission of her for everything he does. He also cannot refuse a direct order from Anita. However in time he comes to live with this.
When Anita separates herself from Jean-Claude and Richard she also separates herself from the rest of the wolf and vampire community. However what she does not realise is that by leaving Damian he cannot function properly without her.
When she finally returns to Jean-Claude she discovers that Damian had gone mad without her and had killed innocent people. He had been imprisoned for his own good within the Circus of the Damned. She demands he is released and accepts responsibility for him.
He later becomes a calming influence of Anita and can keep her from losing her temper by his touch alone. |
