Vampire Jared who was turned during his unusual past. He is a vegetarian, drinking tomato juice. However with his strong emotions towards Richard this new thirst was awaken within him. He confesses to Richard about what he is and Richard offers him his blood. He wouldn't want his loyal employee to be hungry and soon enough Jared becomes addicted to Richard. Whenever he feeds on Richard he can feel his body heat warm him up and get close enough to notice how Richard smells. Sorry I am weird.
No way, Jared the gentle vampire is such a good, good thing! I love the idea that his attraction to Richard awakens these unknown desires in him! He's always so careful, so conscientious, cleans up meticulously after, feels immensely guilty for "using" Richard in this way. But at the same time he absolutely loves it. Craves the closeness almost more than anything else.
