Willie McCoy: Willie will always be the little fish in a

holy water scar Anita gave him. Anita does in the end finally kill him.

He forcefully gives Anita all four vampire marks but she fights him winds up killing him and somehow staying alive.
Mr. Oliver, the Earthmover: A council member with the
ability to cause earthquakes. He's the oldest vampire Anita's ever meet, the best she can guess is that he's prehistoric.
Snakes are his animal to call. Karl Inger is his human servant. Mr. Oliver manipulated Anita into betraying Jean-
Claude, but once she found out intended to slaughter innocents to further his own personal cause, she joined the
battle to defeat him. Both were killed.

Sabin: An old friend of Jean-Claude's, he's come to ask
Anita's help. Because he gave up human blood (fed only on animals) to try and please his lover, he's now rotting from
the inside out. He is also the third in a triumvirate, Dominic Dumare and
Cassandra make up the other two members. Killed.
Liv: A new vampire in town, she doesn't like Anita. When
The Traveler and the other members of the Council come to town, she betrays Jean-Claude and all the other vampires,
when The Traveler promises her more power. Although she isn't killed she is given to Yvette as punishment.
Damian: New in town, Jean-Claude ransomed Damian, with
the council's help, from his maker and master. She's a night hag, mora and used her ability to torture him. She also
somehow managed to keep Damian from gaining all the powers he should have for his age. Anita and Damian from
a connection after she raises him from his daytime sleep. This connection, due to her necromancy, allows Anita to
save Damian's life on several different occasions. Damian, who at first feared her control over him, has come to
realize that Anita is all that he ever wanted and that he would do anything she asked. For Anita this is just another
man she has to deal with and it doesn't make her happy.
Asher: He and Jean-Claude are old friends. When they were
both young vampires, they traveled and lived together along with Julianna, Asher's human servant for about twenty
years. They were very happy and content until Asher and Julianna were captured by the church, Jean-Claude was away
visiting his dying mother. Julianna was burned as a witch and Asher was tortured with holy water before Jean-Claude
could rescue him. Terribly scarred and grieving for Julianna, Asher blamed Jean-Claude and vowed to have revenge.
He was determined that vengeance would be met with Anita's death, that is until she turns the tables on him and showed
him that he isn't as repulsive as he thinks. Her acceptance, opens the breach between Asher and Jean-Claude. Asher
remains in St. Louis as Jean-Claude's second in command and even starts to see a plastic surgeon about his scars.
Also due to the triumvirate and his past with Jean-Claude, Anita and Asher have a bond of shared memories that
has strengthened their friendship. The only thing that could break that bound is Asher's ability to roll Anita.

as Morte d'Amour's proxy vote. She has a rotting form and into necrophilia. She was killed by Warrick.

sure what happened to him.

hag or mora. He has the ability to increase fear and even cause fear. It's an ability that doesn't go away but is always
there. Nikki is his human servant. Both are killed.

ability to rot and reform and he's also a corrupter. Killed.
