Character History
Charlie Adams is a member of the Grendel Corps in the era of the Grendel Khan. He is assigned to guard the Grendel’s Palace casino. This is a very dangerous assignment because the casino is really an internment camp for vampires.
Charlie makes friends with another guard, Sergeant Edwards. They pal around, joking with the other guards and making fun of their superiors.
Edwards saves Adams’ life during a vampire riot: Adams is cornered by a bunch of vampires and has run out of fuel for his flamethrower, but Edwards wards them off with his own flamethrower.
However, Edwards is secretly a vampire himself, and is slowly turning the other guards to vampires as well. One night, Adams’ finds a body that Edwards stashed in their guard room, and realizes that Edwards is a vampire. Edwards advances on him, and Adams feels both fearful and betrayed by his friend. Edwards insists that they are truly friends, however, as he turns the weeping Adams into a vampire as well.
