Deputy Jake Abrams
Deputy
Jake is a young man that has always wanted to be in law enforcement and protect those that can’t protect themselves. He fits in very well under Sheriff Hill’s supervision, and cares about what he does. He’s soft-spoken, to the point some feared he couldn’t be in law enforcement, but he excels at it without becoming jaded.
Kalanak

He works to correct that wrong, and assists Angela as she protects the realm of Earth. He is a strong wielder and very creative user of magic. He has complete faith in Velis’ leadership and approves of Angela as an avatar.
Shayla
Psychic Vampire
Shayla is a privileged, evil woman, filled with malice. She casts her personal pain onto those around her, relishing in the fallout. She was turned into a vampire willingly by Viktor, one of Trokar’s clan, in search of power. She was then “given” to Trokar, with the hope that Viktor and Shayla could wrench control from their leader. Trokar changed her into something more than a vampire, preparing her body to be a vessel for Erim, fortified and able to adapt. She despises Angela, her nemesis, and she gains strength in time with Angela’s advancements.
