* DeadpanSnarker: With emphasis on 'dead'.
* DecompositeCharacter: He more or less serves Quinlan's role from book 1, such as leading the vampire black ops squad, speaking for the Ancients, and training Gus. This is likely because he was originally meant to be Mr. Quinlan before Guillermo del Toro had the role recast.
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: [[spoiler: He and his squad are abruptly killed by a UV ray trap set by Eldritch Palmer. This was likely done to make way for Quinlan a few episodes later.]]
* DynamicEntry: Vaun has a tendency to announce his presence via BigDamnHeroes.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Deftly dispatching a vampire with a headshot from a modified nailgun, then personally checking over the humans whose lives he just saved, (with evident concern for their well being) all while speaking very calmly and kindly to the shaken and clearly alarmed children in the group. He then shots a woman in the face with little hesitation after pretty much confirming she's infected, though you can see the displeasure in his face when he realizes she has to die.
* HorrifyingHero: He's a monster, but he seems to mean well enough.
* IWillOnlySlowYouDown: [[spoiler:Implores Gus to get out after Palmer activates a UV trap which burns Vaun and his crew to death.]]
* InTheHood: Wears one as part of his combat uniform.
* FaceOfAThug: Dressed in all black, makes the telltale vampire noises and just looks generally spooky. But he's nice enough after he kills the vampires.
* MonsterKnight: Or rather "Vampire Black-Ops".
* MouthOfSauron: A benevolent version. He currently serves as mouthpiece for [[spoiler:the Ancients.]]
* NiceGuy: Vaun comes across as very cordial and soft-spoken, even if he does kill people (although this is entirely to prevent the spread of the plague; those people are already dead). He's very polite and friendly with Joan Luss' children.
-->'''Vaun:''' I want to have a look at you. Make sure you're OK. Did they, uh, scare you? Huh? I bet they did.
* WouldHitAGirl: Shoots Neeva's adult daughter in the head after he thinks she's infected. Justified, because everyone who has been wounded by vampires' tongues thus far have also transformed into vampires, and it is reasonable to assume that Vaun has been doing this for at least a while, so he knows the daughter is most definitely infected.

* DeadpanSnarker: With emphasis on 'dead'.

[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/quinlan_1638.jpg]]
->'''Played By:''' Creator/StephenMcHattie

A vampire who serves the Ancients. He serves as both their speaker and their head enforcer. Was previously referred to as "Quinlan" in promotional materials, he was retroactively changed into a new character named Vaun in season 2 after the role of Quinlan was recast.
----
* DeadpanSnarker: With emphasis on 'dead'.
* DecompositeCharacter: He more or less serves Quinlan's role from book 1, such as leading the vampire black ops squad, speaking for the Ancients, and training Gus. This is likely because he was originally meant to be Mr. Quinlan before Guillermo del Toro had the role recast.
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: [[spoiler: He and his squad are abruptly killed by a UV ray trap set by Eldritch Palmer. This was likely done to make way for Quinlan a few episodes later.]]
* DynamicEntry: Vaun has a tendency to announce his presence via BigDamnHeroes.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Deftly dispatching a vampire with a headshot from a modified nailgun, then personally checking over the humans whose lives he just saved, (with evident concern for their well being) all while speaking very calmly and kindly to the shaken and clearly alarmed children in the group. He then shots a woman in the face with little hesitation after pretty much confirming she's infected, though you can see the displeasure in his face when he realizes she has to die.
* HorrifyingHero: He's a monster, but he seems to mean well enough.
* IWillOnlySlowYouDown: [[spoiler:Implores Gus to get out after Palmer activates a UV trap which burns Vaun and his crew to death.]]
* InTheHood: Wears one as part of his combat uniform.
* FaceOfAThug: Dressed in all black, makes the telltale vampire noises and just looks generally spooky. But he's nice enough after he kills the vampires.
* MonsterKnight: Or rather "Vampire Black-Ops".
* MouthOfSauron: A benevolent version. He currently serves as mouthpiece for [[spoiler:the Ancients.]]
* NiceGuy: Redfern Vaun comes across as very cordial and soft-spoken, even if he does kill people (although this is helpful, entirely to prevent the spread of the plague; those people are already dead). He's very polite and the only survivor who fully cooperates friendly with the CDC.
Joan Luss' children.
-->'''Vaun:''' I want to have a look at you. Make sure you're OK. Did they, uh, scare you? Huh? I bet they did.
* OnlySaneMan: Of the four survivors, he's the only one who places his trust WouldHitAGirl: Shoots Neeva's adult daughter in the CDC head after he thinks she's infected. Justified, because everyone who has been wounded by vampires' tongues thus far have also transformed into vampires, and allows them it is reasonable to do their vital work.assume that Vaun has been doing this for at least a while, so he knows the daughter is most definitely infected.
