Danny Kimball

Danny Kimball is a Vampire.

Quote: Put down the stake and maybe we can answer both our questions.

Prelude

Danny Kimball misses Fritos more than almost anything else. He's also pretty sure that drinking blood is the biggest drawback to being a vampire, putting a double whammy on the entire dietary portion of his undead existence. Still, he's always careful to drink from only people whom no one cares about, usually a drunk stumbling through some alley in the slums.

It's all worth it. He hasn't had to endure a face-to-face conversation in almost two months, and for the first time he doesn't have his mother cutting into the time he can spend cracking security systems or beating the eighth level of Dungeon Destroyers. As long as he relays whatever cool files he finds to Whitehead, he can do pretty much whatever he wants. Given his screaming-fast Internet connection and equally impressive computer, Danny's finds unlife better than anything he could possibly dream up. Not even his twisted and deformed face is much of a downer. Girls never talked to him when he was alive, and he never had much use for them, anyway. His hideous looks even helped him last time he had to feed. He didn't have any trouble scaring off those kids who stumbled across him in the act.

Danny isn't stupid. He knows that Whitehead has him sifting through some pretty heavy-duty stuff. Once in a whole, he has to track down particular files. From what Danny has pieced together, his patron is tracking a few competing corporations, probably even playing the two sides against each other. Danny doesn't care. As long as the world leaves him in peace to play his games and write his code, he's happy. When he does get lonely, companionship is as close as a link to a chat room.

Still, sometimes questions nag at him when the distant roar of the subway fades away and Danny is left with only the glow of his monitor and the rates that scurry about his hideaway. He's worried that he's involved in something much larger than he can handle, and if Whitehead makes a misstep Danny has a cold feeling that he'll go down, too. But then Danny comes across a report about a hot new video card or a slamming new computer game and his worries are driven away by the comforting glow of his CRT.

Concept

The Watcher moves within unseen vampiric circles, a spy and informant who always seems to have the information that someone needs. He plays a risky game of brinkmanship, always careful to make himself useful to every side in a feud without making himself a target.
