James Book

James Eldred Book (1852-1912), also known as "Jim".

He was a detective who worked for Pinkerton Agency and tasked to hunt, arrest and escort the outlaw Skinner Sweet to New Mexico, where he was meant to be hanged. At some point, Skinner turned Book into a vampire. As he did not want to become a monster like Skinner he begged Abilena Camillo, her god-daughter and the daughter of his friend Felix Camillo, to kill him on a moonless night, a moment during which he is most vulnerable and killable. Abilena accepted to kill him on the condition he would father a child, as she lost all her family. Felicia Book was born from that night.

On his grave stone read "LAWMAN. SOLA VIRTUS INVICTA".
