Christian

Christian is the main character in my current novel. He is full of contradictions for a vampire; reticent, introspective, a recluse who prefers books to women, art to blood. How does he do it? I suppose he has tried to overcome his predatory nature as best as someone in his position can and though he will never be mortal again, he carries remnants of that existence inside of him. He lives for books and art surviving on as little blood as possible. It's not a matter of denying his nature, it's more like controlling it and after several hundred years he is quite good at it until a young woman comes along who gives him hope....
