A list of all the characters in The Evil Oboist's novel, The Aspen Valley Incident.
Victor Larousse Victor Larousse is a half-vampire vampire hunter. Twenty-two years old at the beginning of the story, he has been a professional vampire hunter since he dropped out of school at sixteen following his mother's death. He never knew his father. He sees killing vampires for blood and money as merely a job, not a crusade against vampirekind in general. He has a general air of someone who has been forced to grow up too fast, but is not yet jaded. His nature is generally tolerant and easygoing, but he will freak out if he sees anyone threatening a mother with a child.Tropes associated with Victor:
Henry Matheson Henry Matheson is a 192-year-old vampire (he was turned at the age of 30) and a workaholic doctor who runs a questionably legal clinic. He takes care of his seven-times-great-granddaughter, Clarissa, since her parents were some of the first vampire victims in town. He is idealistic to the extreme despite being a battlefield doctor for every major American war from the Mexican American War to Vietnam. He was turned by accident in 1847 when a strange man was brought in from the battlefield, mortally wounded. The vampire bit Henry on the arm, which Henry managed to shake off, but some of the vampire's blood squirted into Henry's mouth in the process. The rest is history.Tropes associated with Henry:
Bianca Anzino Bianca Anzino is a bitter, unhappy dhampyr who tries to pass as human. She finds joy in working as a chef in her family's Italian restaurant. She isn't completely miserable all the time, though—just when Victor shows up, reminding her of what she really is. Her mother is a human and her father was a vampire. About twenty-six or twenty-seven at the beginning of the story, she used to study at Columbia and had a promising future as a lawyer, but she left school to rescue her family's failing restaurant. Said restaurant is now very prosperous and famous on a small scale. She does not regret leaving her future behind in favor of it.Tropes associated with Bianca:
Mayor McCarthy Mayor McCarthy is a rather low-key kind of evil. The mayor of Aspen Valley, he wants everything to be perfect in his town, and that includes ridding the place of vampires. All vampires. He made the final decision to hire Victor, but he also wants to get rid of Henry for good. But since Henry's death would look suspicious, he's content with trying to close down his clinic and driving him out of town... for now. The Mayor is largely friendly and well-intentioned, if a bit of a bigot. His bigotry overtakes his more positive qualities after a while.Tropes associated with the Mayor:
Clarissa Matheson Clarissa is Henry's seven-times-great-granddaughter. Four years old at the beginning of the story, she is precocious and outgoing and likes horses. Her parents were killed by vampires a few months prior to the beginning of the story, but since she is so young and because Henry has been so attentive to her, she is adjusting well to the new situation. She likes to play with Victor's cat, Abraham Van Helsing, and feed him her chicken nuggets.Tropes associated with Clarissa:
Molly Johnson Clarissa's babysitter. A junior in high school, she's incredibly smart and wants to go to Barnard. However, she comes from a poor family and can't pay for it, so Henry pays her generously to watch Clarissa in the evenings. She reminds Victor of Alicia, since she has a lot of common personality traits and she looks sort of the same. She's not afraid of vampires—she has crosses and garlic aplenty, and always gets home safe.Tropes associated with Molly:
Alicia Urquhart Alicia was Victor's girlfriend. They met when they were both part of a large contingent of vampire hunters in Seattle two years ago and hit it off that winter. Alicia was tough, street-smart, and very cute—she used her soft appearance to lure vampires in, and then she would catch them by surprise. She grew up poor in the inner city with four younger siblings and used vampire hunting to help provide for them. It eventually became more and more of a way of life and not just a job. A vampire super-gang, fed up with its members getting killed off (Victor especially killed a lot of them), captured Alicia while she was on patrol and tortured her for information regarding Victor's whereabouts. Victor found her and killed all of the vampires on pure Heroic Resolve, but Alicia died on the way to the hospital.Tropes associated with Alicia:
Lucien de Sainte-Marie A 254-year-old French vampire, Lucien was forced to flee his country of origin before the Revolution because of his aristocratic blood. About a year after fleeing for England, he was turned, and shortly after that, he moved to New Orleans, which he has called home ever since. He found that New Orleans suited him better anyway, seeing as it was more tolerant of his lifestyle than England had been. He did not return to Europe until the turn of the 20th century, partially because in the decades before he had met Henry and the two of them struck up an on-and-off relationship. Lucien is a violinist, writer, and artist—he appreciates the finer things of life and doesn't understand Henry's obsession with science, organizing everything in sight, and working long hours.Tropes associated with Lucien:
